Hello, IMI Bhubaneswar uses CAT/XAT/CMAT scores along with other academic parameters like marks in 10th, 12th and graduation for the purpose of shortlisting. It depends on the overall profile of the applicants each year. But the minimum should be above 60 percentile to qualify.

CAT is a test conducted by IIM.
MAT is a test conducted by AIMA.
CMAT is a test conducted by AICTE.
You can also pursue MBA after qualifying XAT or GMAT exam.
All these exams have different modules or pattern of questions.

If you're aiming for a top IIM/non-IIM, CAT is the most preferred option. However, you can also give exams like NMAT, SNAP, XAT, IIFT, which are institute specific & also relatively easier than CAT.

February MAT will not be considered for 2017 admissions.
You can apply via XAT score.

Considering several B-schools, XAT is a good option.

Generally, you need to score at least 110-120+ to secure 85+ percentile in CAT. This means you should get around 40-45 questions correct. So, it's not at all difficult to score that much, provided you're thorough with the basics & give the mocks properly.
