It would be great if you would give some names for the colleges i should target for.

Ans: Well you aren't eligible for CAT or other such similar management entrance exams.

However, you can choose to go for GMAT.

Or you can go for executive MBA offered by almost all premiere institutes. Check the individual IIMs for their respective criterion.

Career

Dear sir, My son is studying BCom 4th semester at PES University, Bengaluru. His idea is to try CAT and other MBA entrance exams. Also our idea is for him to try competitive exams for banking, insurance etc., while appearing for campus selection tests and interviews. So, my thinking is that if he takes training for CAT it should be sufficient for him to tackle all the above types if competitive exams in addition to CAT. Please let me know whether this is correct and if so advise us for some good institutes for the same in Bengaluru or online as suitable.

Ans: CAT would help in banking and insurance exams. But there is a variation in the syllabus which he might need to take care of. Both can be prepared simultaneously.
