Ans: SDA Bocconi may not accept 198 nmat score, but they have their own test if you want to try. With 198 NMAT, can try for IBS (ICFAI) and other colleges that accept the scores. Can also write ATMA, and MAT that will be held in Feb March so that you have more options to apply to. About repeating a year you can decide once this years cycle for admission is complete.
