MBA Colleges in Jaipur Without CAT 2027

Last updated: 16 October 2026 · Directory data verified 4 September 2026 · Prepared by the bestmbacollegeswithlowcatscore.com editorial team

Quick answer

4 of the 5 MBA colleges in Jaipur in our directory accept at least one test other than CAT; only MNIT Jaipur is CAT-only. All four accept MAT, CMAT and XAT, so one of those covers every option. Nearest deadline: NMAT registration closes 25 October 2026. “Without CAT” always means another named test — none is admission without a process.

Read the test names. Government and state-route seats can run outside CAT; confirm the route with each institute. Fees are total two-year programme fees excluding hostel, as listed in this site’s college directory (data verified 4 September 2026). Add hostel, mess and exam costs before comparing, and confirm the current fee in the institute’s admission brochure before you pay anything.

Which test to take, and where the deadline stands

Test	Colleges in Jaipur accepting it	Deadline status (checked 16 Oct 2026)
MAT	4 of 5	December session: register by 14 Dec (paper) or 21 Dec (computer); tests 20 and 27 Dec 2026
CMAT	4 of 5	Exam 7 Feb 2027 on NTA’s tentative calendar; registration not open as of 16 Oct 2026
XAT	4 of 5	Registration closes 6 Dec 2026; exam 3 Jan 2027
NMAT	2 of 5	Registration extended to 25 Oct 2026; tests 2 Nov–20 Dec 2026
ATMA	2 of 5	Check the official ATMA notice

Deadlines were checked on 16 October 2026 against the official MAT and XAT sites, NTA’s tentative 2026-27 calendar (as reported by Careers360 and CareerIndia) and NMAT extension reports (PW, FindMyCollege). Some older pages still give 24 January 2027 for CMAT; that was a pre-calendar estimate. Dates change between cycles; see every exam still open for the full table.

Which Jaipur college each test unlocks

Test	Jaipur colleges that list it (directory)
MAT, CMAT or XAT	Manipal University Jaipur, IIHMR University, Amity University Rajasthan, Jaipuria Jaipur
NMAT	IIHMR University, Amity University Rajasthan
ATMA	IIHMR University, Jaipuria Jaipur
CAT only	MNIT Jaipur (75–85 percentile band, about ₹3.3 lakh total fee)

The practical point: both NMAT colleges also take MAT, CMAT and XAT, so NMAT adds no Jaipur college you cannot reach another way. If you sit just one more test, the December MAT is the soonest of the three that covers all four. XAT on 3 January and CMAT on 7 February give you a second attempt. Each college sets its own cut-off and interview process, so confirm the current year’s accepted tests in the institute’s admission notice.

Frequently asked questions

Can I get an MBA in Jaipur without CAT?

Which single test covers the most Jaipur MBA colleges?

MAT, CMAT and XAT each cover all four Jaipur colleges in our directory that accept a test other than CAT. The December MAT (tests 20 and 27 December 2026) comes first; XAT is on 3 January 2027 and CMAT is provisionally on 7 February 2027.

Is MBA admission without any entrance exam possible?

Legitimate AICTE-approved institutes admit through a named test and selection process. An offer of admission with no test in exchange for money is a red flag; verify approval on the AICTE website first.
