To secure admission to prestigious business schools such as the Indian Institutes of Management (IIM), students usually undergo the Common Admission Test (CAT), which concluded on November 26. CAT serves as the gateway to over 100 management institutes across India, including the renowned 21 IIMs. However, given the limited availability of seats in IIMs, aspiring management candidates have alternative entrance exams for admission to other reputable institutions.
