XAT

One college that offers direct admission to its MBA programme without requiring entrance examinations like the CAT, GMAT, or XAT is Bangalore's GIBS Business School. It's important to remember, though, that even while direct admission may be an option, they frequently have their selection procedures, like in-person interviews and group discussions, to determine a candidate's appropriateness for the program.

While GIBS is a prominent example, to make an informed choice, it's always advisable to look into alternative possibilities and evaluate their unique entrance requirements, costs, and general reputation.

Candidates must meet the qualifying score of at least 50% (percentile) in any one of the following entrance exams: CAT, MAT, CMAT, XAT, or ATMA. In that case, you can get into Globsyn Business School with 88% in XAT.
