MBA Admission process in India in all the top MBA colleges is a four step process. These 4 steps of MBA admission process are applicable to all the MBA colleges including IIMs who offer admission after a rigorous selection process to select the most suitable candidate.







Step-1: Register & Apply for MBA Entrance Exam

Candidates desirous of seeking admission in top MBA colleges should register and apply for the relevant MBA entrance exam like CAT/XAT/IIFT/NMAT/SNAP within the specified registration window. Most National level MBA entrance exams like CAT, XAT close the registration process in September and November respectively. Usually the CAT registration process remains open for 45 to 50 days.



Step-2: Appear in MBA Entrance Exam

Common Admission Test (CAT), will be held on November 25, 2018 and XAT 2019 on January 6, 2019 for admission to 2019-21 batch

Hello,

Hope your CAT exam went well and you get into a prestigious college.



Well, the results of CAT will be declared by the end of December or first week of January. Post which basis your percentile and the colleges to which you had applied, you will get calls for further rounds of GD/WAT-PI.

What I mean by call is a mail from the respective college to your registered email address or you can directly check whether you are shortlisted for further rounds or not on their official institute website by logging in with your CAT registration number or email address, whatever is asked.



You must however, now start preparing for GD/WAT-PI by starting to read newspapers, magazines and your subjects. You must have a basic knowledge of what's going around, be ready with your views on current affairs and be thorough with your curriculum subjects.



All the best!!
