You're asking about whether the CAT (Common Admission Test) is mandatory for doing an MBA at PAU (Punjab Agricultural University). While I can't give definitive information on PAU's MBA programme requirements, as I don't have access to their specific admissions policies, I can share some general information that might be helpful.Unlike many top B-schools that prioritize CAT scores,  it's very unlikely that PAU mandates the CAT for its MBA program. PAU is primarily an agricultural university, and its MBA programme is likely geared towards agricultural and agribusiness management. Therefore, they may have their own entrance exam or other selection criteria that are more relevant to their niche. They might also consider scores from other national level management exams like CMAT.Now, considering your mention of GIBS (Global Institute of Business Studies), if you were thinking of pursuing an MBA/PGDM at GIBS, a CAT score is not mandatory. GIBS accepts scores from various entrance exams like XAT, MAT, CMAT, ATMA, and GMAT. They also conduct their own exam, GIBS AT.If you're specifically interested in PAU, I strongly recommend visiting their official website for their MBA programme details, including admission criteria. Look for their eligibility requirements and the accepted entrance exams. Also, it would be helpful to check the previous year's admission process to get an idea. Do not confuse PAU with GIBS. They are totally different institutes.
