Top MBA Colleges Accepting CAT 2025 Score – Plenty of MBA scho

ols in India are accepting the CAT exam for admissions to MBA programs in 2025. Among these are the most distinguished IIMs (Indian Institute of Management) that accept CAT scores. So, candidates who appear in the competitive CAT examination have the chance to not only get to choose from the top IIMs but also from numerous other MBA institutes in India.

IIMs are widely known as one of the most highly regarded MBA colleges, but they are not the only top B-schools in India. There are plenty of popular and elite colleges to select from aside from the top IIMs. As a result, many students prefer a non-IIM because they offer the best MBA specializations, industry exposure, and international exchange programmes at reasonably lower expenses. Top-ranked B-schools such as SPJIMR, FMS, MDI, IIFT, NMIMS, GLIM, GIM, SJMSoM, IIT Mumbai, LIBA, and plenty of others accept CAT scores for admission.

So, if you plan on seeking an MBA from an elite business institution in the 2026 session, then you must know which are the leading MBA institutions in India and how much you need to score in the CAT to secure admission to the leading MBA colleges. IIFT has also joined the other colleges in accepting CAT scores, as the institute has issued a notice to cancel its MBA entrance exam and accept CAT 2025 scores for admission in 2026.
