MBA Entrance Exam

Hi,
If you are asking about IIMA, the answer is certainly not because the IIM's never consider MAT. MAT is widely accepted in non IIM's, but it is desirable to confirm with the specific institute.

It depends on your preparation and interest. If you are interested in IIM and well prepared, it is easy but CAT is comparatively tougher than Bank PO.

1. Arun Sharma is best for Quant./Verbal/DI-LR.
2. Pearson Guide To Verbal Ability And Logical Reasoning
3. For decision making you can refer previous year papers. Also there are various websites having numerous questions on decision making like GP Ka funda.

There is no good or bad in having work experience. Any work experience is useful.
PGDM is a institute governed course, there is no reservation for anyone. Last year Cuttoff for PGDM was CAT 86, CMAT 96 and XAT 78. The cuttoff is same for all students across INDIA.

Hello! Those are good percentages. In CAT/XAT you have to have a minimum percentile of 90. All the best.

80 for Domicile and 90 for Non domicile.

Hi Vennela,
It depends on your category. If you belong to general category 99.8+ would be enough to sail through. However, Percentile is not the only criteria to get an admission but it is the first step. Interviewers judge your personality traits and gauge your capabilities in the interview before making you a final offer.
All the best

CAT is an exam conducted by the IIMs and accepted by most of the b-schools. CAT is conducted in the month of November or December. CAT consists of 4 subjects divided into different sections:
1. Data interpretation.
2. Logical reasoning.
3. Quantitative aptitude and
4. Verbal ability along with reading comprehension.
You need to prepare all sections very well and be thorough with all the topics. A score of more than 95 percentile is needed to get a call from a top b-school.

Yes, you can register. You have to make sure that you clear your backlogs before getting into the college.

It will be hard as to pursue PG course, you must get at least 60% in class 10th, 12th and graduation. Even, if you get selected in a college, you may face problems at the time of placement.
