Due to the huge media attention they have been enjoying, the B-school admissions have become the hotspot of competition. The limited number of seats and ever increasing number of students taking the exams makes it really tough for a student to get into a prestigious B-school. The number of people taking CAT have clocked up by 25000 every year reaching 2.25 lakhs in 2008.
The admission process generally has 3 stages –
Written competitive exams with 3 sections on basic maths, data analysis and English. Certain exams have an additional section on current affairs.

Personal Interview
The most popular competitive exams for B-school admissions in India are:-
1. CAT - Entrance test for admission into 7 IIMs. Accepted by over 100 management schools
2. XAT - The entrance test for XLRI and more than 50 management schools
3. JMET - The entrance test for the Schools of Management at the IITs and IISc
4. SNAP - The entrance test for SIBM, SCMHRD and other Symbiosis group institutes
5. MAT - Accepted by more than 100 management schools
6. ATMA - Accepted by more than 100 management schools
As I suggested earlier, the only way to crack these exams is to get trained on the aspects which they quiz you which is nothing but math, English and communication.
