MBA Colleges Accepting University-Level Entrance Exams

A guide to private universities and institutes that admit MBA students through their own entrance tests, with links to official sites.

By Grave Minds Editorial Team · Published · 4 min read

A university-level entrance exam is a test an institution runs for its own programmes. For MBA aspirants these tests matter because they often run on a different calendar from CAT and assess slightly different skills.

Institutions in our database with their own MBA test

Why take a university test?

  • It can widen your shortlist beyond the schools that accept CAT.
  • Test formats differ — some students perform noticeably better on one than another.
  • Staggered dates spread the pressure across the season.

What to check before registering

  1. That the test is valid for the exact programme and campus you want.
  2. The current application window, on the official site.
  3. Whether the score is used alone or alongside a national test.

Every exam page on this site shows the dates we have verified, the source, and the date we checked. For the full picture, see the management pathway.
