Hi Dear,

Yes, there are many IITs and NITS offering PGDM or MBA courses to students. The seats are open for all stream students who have qualified CAT or relevant entrance exams. So, yes even if you are from non engineering background still you can get into these colleges for MBA/PGDM course if you qualify the cut off and other rounds of selection.
