MBA Entrance Exam

Hi Pratichi,
First of all congratulations for clearing CAT 2017 with an awesome percentile. Yes, with this percentile you will definitely get a call for IIM-Lucknow.

Look Shree, as MAT is one of the most important exams and each year lots of students appear in this exam. And the colleges/universities also cannot take all the test appeari g aspirants ao there is negative marking in MAT exam. The marking scheme is one marks for correct answer and 0.25 marks will be deducted for each wrong answer. So if you are looking for this exam make sure you make less mistakes and sure about your answer. The best of luck for your future.

Dear aspirant,
Please note that MBA is a huge investment of time and money and you do it generally once. Hence, try to get the best college you can. I am sure that with better and more focussed preparation you can get into the 80percentile tier which will enable you decent schools. In India, only the top 30-35 colleges are considered worthy to join and at your percentile, None of them will be accepting you. Hence, my advise would be to re-take the CAT. Also, apply for MAT as some decent B-Schools accept that.

Goa Institute of Management (GIM) accepts XAT GMAT and CMAT apart from CAT scores. A score around 85-90 percentile in CAT is good enough to get a call from GIM. Some colleges accepting NMAT scores are L.M.Thapar, MISB Bocconi, Woxsen, IBS, Shiv Nadar University, UPES College of Business Management and Economic Studies, Alliance School Of Business, XIM-Bhubaneshwar, apart from Narsee Monjee colleges.

There's no harm in applying and trying your luck there.

CMAT's cut-off for last year was 93; and is subjected to revision this year.

No, one can apply through any of these exams.
