Should I go for CAT SNAP NMAT exam

Asked by Mohit Sharma on 2026-03-28 in MBA Colleges

Hii ma'am
Sorry to disturb you
I just want to ask something about CAT,SNAP preparation.
I did 10th class in 2016 with 83.50%
I did 12th class in 2019 with 78%[ I did 12 in 2018 but I got only 70% that time and at that particular time I was preparing for IIT JEE]
After that I did BTech in civil engineering in 2023 with 8.9 CGPA.
Now I have 6 months of internship experience.
And now I am joining a company.
Now I am planning to give CAT, SNAP,NMAT
exams this year
Should I go for it
Or should I cancel this plan?

You can surely take the exam but set realistic expectations because as an engineer you'll need a very high CAT percentile. I'd suggest if you want to get into the top IIMs, it is better to get more work-ex first. You can get into newer ones with the profile you have or aim for FMS with 99.7+.
