The process of applying to a good management institute begins with buying the application form. Each institute charges anywhere between Rs.600 to Rs.1, 600 for its application form. The application form for the written exam of the IIMs (CAT - Common Admission Test) costs Rs. 1,600 (Rs 800 for SC/ST candidates). The exam is valid for applying to all 13 IIMs at Ahmedabad, Bangalore, Calcutta, Lucknow, Indore, Kozhikode, Shillong, Raipur, Ranchi, Rohtak, Trichy, Udaipur, and Kashipur. CAT is also used by more than 160 other management institutes as the written exam for admission to their course. Students need to write CAT and also apply to these management institutes separately. XAT conducted by XLRI, SNAP (Symbiosis National Aptitude Test) of the Symbiosis group of institutes, Management Admission Test (MAT - conducted by All India Management Association) and ATMA (conducted by Association of Indian Management Schools) are some of the other written exams that are used by a number of management institutes for admission to their courses. In this case too, students have to apply separately to each of the management institutes concerned.
Apart from these five exams - CAT, XAT, SNAP, MAT, ATMA, there are other entrance exams also. Among the more popular of the other entrance exams are NMAT (Narsee Monjee Aptitude Test), IRMA, IIFT, M-CET, TISS, etc. However the preparation required by the students is pretty similar for all these entrance exams.
