The Indian Institute of Management conducts an all India entrance exam called Common Admission Test (CAT) that is conducted in different centers across India.

Other entrance tests include XAT which is conducted by XLRI, Jamshedpur. Maharashtra also conducts an entrance exam called CET which is used by most colleges in Maharashtra.

Absolute concentration and presence of mind with decisional abilities is what is needed for these exams. It is these 2 to 3 hours that decides the fate of your career!
