MBA Entrance Exams: CAT, NMAT, XAT and SNAP

If you want to get an MBA (a master's degree in business), you'll need to take an entrance exam.

There are several tests you can take in India.

The most well-known is CAT, which is used by the top business schools.

Other tests include NMAT, XAT, and SNAP.

NMAT is run by the same people who do the GMAT and is used by NMIMS and other schools.

XAT is conducted by XLRI Jamshedpur, and SNAP is conducted by Symbiosis International.

Each test has its own set of schools that accept its scores, so research is needed before the exam.

These tests help you get into the best MBA programs to help you learn more about business and management.
