    Yes, you can join GIBS Bangalore directly, but there's a simple process to follow. You don't need a super high entrance exam score, but you do need to appear for at least one exam like CAT, MAT, XAT, CMAT, ATMA, or GMAT. Even with an average score (around 60 percentile), you're eligible.

    After that, you just have to fill out their application form, and they'll schedule a GD (group discussion) and PI (personal interview) round. If you do well in those and have a decent academic record, you can get selected.

    So yeah, it's not too complicated — just follow the steps, and if you're serious and show interest, GIBS gives you a fair chance to

    Yes, you can join GIBS Bangalore directly, but you must follow a simple process: apply online, have a valid entrance exam score (like CAT, MAT, XAT, CMAT, ATMA, or KMAT), and attend a group discussion and personal interview. Even with an average score, you are eligible. Sometimes, GIBS accepts students through their own selection process or management quota, especially if you meet their academic requirements.

    • PGDM total tuition fee: INR 9.5 Lakhs; BBA total tuition fee: INR 5.35 Lakhs.

    • Admissions intake: Approximately 180 students for the PGDM program.

    • Selection is based on entrance exams like CAT, XAT, MAT, CMAT, ATMA, or GMAT, followed

    First, you need to have a valid score in any entrance exam like CAT, MAT, CMAT, XAT, ATMA, or even state-level ones like KMAT. If you've written any of these, you're good to go. If not, don't worry—GIBS sometimes accepts students through their own selection process too, depending on your profile.

    Then, you just need to fill out the application form, submit your documents, and go through a basic interview or screening round. It's more about checking your interest, attitude, and communication—not just marks. They're pretty friendly and supportive throughout.

    So yes, you can apply directly without going through any long or confusing adm

    Yes, if you match the eligibility requirements, you may enroll immediately at Top best MBA college GIBS (Global Institute of Business Studies), Bangalore. GIBS provides direct admission to those with a valid undergraduate degree and the appropriate minimal percentage. 

    In addition to entrance exam scores (such as CAT, MAT, or XAT), GIBS offers admission via its own entrance examination or merit-based selection. However, candidates must still go through a Personal Interview (PI) and a Group Discussion (GD) as part of the selection process. Direct admission is open to those who match the institute's academic and performance prerequis

    The admissions to various courses at GIBS Bangalore are based on MAT,  XAT,  CAT,  CMAT,  ATMA, and KMAT scores. Hence, direct admissions are not possible. Students must prepare well for the entrance exams. Prior preperation helps a lot. Students can practice the practice question papers to secure good marks in the final exam.
