MBA entrance and eligibility
The first step in the MBA selection procedure is a written aptitude test. Normally, the areas in which students are tested include-
- Quantitative ability
- Analytical
- Logical reasoning
- Data interpretation
- Reading comprehension
Some tests also have a section on general awareness.
Though most of these tests have a similar structure, there are variations in emphasis and difficulty levels of different sections. As these tests form the first round of elimination, time management makes a big difference. Details about the tests and its format are given below:
