The standard practice in India is to base MBA and PG admissions decisions on how well applicants performed on these demanding entrance exams. Every year, a variety of national, state or regional level MBA entrance exams are held to admit students to India's top MBA colleges. CAT, XAT, NMAT, SNAP, MAT, ATMA, and CMAT, as well as state-level and institution-specific MBA entrance exams like IIFT, TISS NET, and IBSAT, are just a few of the nationally recognized MBA entrance exams that are in high demand.

After earning your bachelor's degree, are you considering applying for an MBA or a PG degree at a reputable business school?
