Colleges that come under the central or state government often conduct separate state MBA entrance exams or allow scores of some other tests. The basic purpose of a management entrance exam is to test the candidate’s aptitude and ability. These are often followed by consecutive rounds of group discussion, personal interview and written admission tests. Only after clearing all the rounds does a candidate get admission in one of the colleges.

Over the past few years as the trend of getting a MBA / PGDM degree has been rising, there has been a simultaneous growth in number of colleges offering MBA in India. In each state you will find a large number of B schools. It is in the candidate’s best interests to make an informed decision before joining any college.
