No, it's not possible to get admission without clearing the exams like CAT/CMAT/XAT/CET.

Hello Meet,
Last year, the cut-off for SIMSR's MMS course (via Gujarati quota) was around 97.1 percentile. So yes, there are very high chances of securing a seat with that score. Good luck!

You can try BIMTECH and ITM - Navi Mumbai. IB is not a lucrative profile. You have to start in general from hard core sales by visting various trade fair, event and generate foreign clients for your organization and make them prospect customer.
It may be target based and if you are good with that, then you can go for that or you can try dual marketing and IB. You can verify the job profile with placement officer or try a secured sustainable job in IB by CAT.
