The CAT result is out, and the number on the screen isn\u2019t the one you were hoping for. Or perhaps you couldn\u2019t take the exam at all because of work, family or plain bad timing. Either way, the same worry follows: has the door to a good B-school in Delhi just closed?<\/p>\n
It hasn\u2019t. Many well-regarded institutes in Delhi NCR accept XAT, MAT, CMAT, ATMA or GMAT scores, and a few universities run their own entrance tests. The catch is that \u201cwithout CAT\u201d and \u201cwithout an entrance exam\u201d are not the same thing, and many lists online blur the two.<\/p>\n
In this blog post, we\u2019ve listed top ten MBA colleges in Delhi NCR that don\u2019t compulsorily require a CAT score. We have also explained the admission route for each and shared what to check before you apply. Read on.<\/p>\n
Most private B-schools accept CAT along with other national tests such as XAT, MAT, CMAT, ATMA or GMAT. You still need a valid score from one of them, followed by interviews or other selection rounds, but not CAT specifically. A few universities instead run their own entrance tests.<\/p>\n
Some private universities also offer \u201cdirect admission\u201d based on graduation marks and an interview. If you consider this route, check that the programme is AICTE-approved or offered by a UGC-recognised university.<\/p>\n
