The Common Admission Test (CAT) is a key entrance exam for top MBA programs in India, including prestigious IIMs. However, some IIM courses, like the Executive Post Graduate Programme in Management (EPGP) at IIM Bangalore, do not require CAT scores. This one-year, full-time MBA program is designed for professionals with 5-12 years of experience and includes core management subjects. Admission requires a GMAT or GRE score and meeting other criteria. The process involves an online application, a fee, an interview, and an evaluation based on academic performance, test scores, work experience, and interview results. For the GMAT and GRE, familiarize yourself with test formats, create a study schedule, use official materials, practice regularly, and apply effective test-taking strategies.
