Financial Burden

Believe Your Dream

Many students aim to pursue their management studies specifically at one institute. Under such circumstances, candidates should keep their focus only on the required entrance exam. For instance, if you want to pursue your MBA at XLRI in Jamshedpur, then focus only on XAT. Choosing the institute prior to your application process saves time and money besides keeping you on track for the preparation.

Depending Upon Test Location

Not all the MBA entrance examinations are conducted at major cities in the country. There are a few MBA entrance exams where the test is conducted in only one or two cities. Aspirants are advised to consider this point because it involves both money and time.

If you find test centres farther from your location, you need to bear the travel expenses. If the date of an entrance exam clash or fall very close to each other, taking an exam at different locations will get extremely difficult. Hence, check all the exam and counselling dates prior to the application process.
