Frequently asked questions
Which entrance exams are accepted for MBA admission?+
CAT, XAT, GMAT, CMAT, MAT and NMAT are the most widely accepted MBA entrance exams. Many state and private universities also conduct their own tests. Each college page lists the exams it accepts.
What is the difference between an MBA and a PGDM?+
An MBA is a degree awarded by universities, while a PGDM is a diploma awarded by autonomous institutes (AICTE-approved). Both are treated equivalently by most employers; the curriculum and outcomes matter more than the label.
Can I do an MBA without work experience?+
Yes. Many Indian MBA and PGDM programmes admit fresh graduates, though some executive and top-tier programmes prefer or require prior work experience.
