GIBS Business School has certain academic eligibility criteria for international students who apply for admission to the institute. In the case of the BBA course, the applicant shall have passed 10+2 or an equivalent examination from a recognised international board. There might be a requirement to furnish an equivalency certificate in support of the academic qualification so that the student's qualification could be verified. For the PGDM course, candidates from other countries or NRIs should have a bachelor's degree with at least 50% aggregate marks from a recognised university. The basic requirement, apart from academic qualificatio

Hi.

Yes, international students at the Global Institute Of Business Studies are required to meet specific academic qualifications, which are similar to those for domestic students but with a slightly different selection process. Their prior academic record is a key part of the admission process.

BBA Program (Undergraduate)

Educational Qualification: Candidates must have completed their 10+2 level (Higher Secondary Certificate or equivalent) from a recognized board or council in any discipline (Science, Commerce, or Arts).
Minimum Marks: A minimum aggregate score is typically required in their 10+2 examinations (e.g., ofte

Hi.

BBA Program (Undergraduate)

Educational Qualification: Candidates must have completed their 10+2 level (Higher Secondary Certificate or equivalent) from a recognized board or council in any discipline (Science, Commerce, or Arts).
Minimum Marks: A minimum aggregate score is typically required in their 10+2 examinations (e.g., often around 50%).
Provisional Admission: Students in their final year of the 12th standard can apply for provisional admission.
Selection Process for International/NRI: For international and NRI candidates, admission is generally based on their academic performance, followed by a Group Discussion (GD) and Personal Interview (PI).

PGDM/MBA Program (Postgraduate)

Educational Qualification: A Bachelor's degree (10+2+3 or 4 pattern) in any discipline from a university or institution recognized by AICTE, UGC, or AIU is required.
Minimum Marks: Candidates generally need a minimum of 50% marks or an equivalent grade in their bachelor's degree.
Entrance Exams: Domestic candidates usually require scores from national-level management entrance exams (like CAT, MAT, GMAT, etc.). However, international/NRI candidates can seek admission based on their prior academic record, an internal group discussion, and a personal interview, potentially bypassing the need for a specific entrance exam score.
Provisional Admission: Final-year undergraduate students can apply for provisional admission.

Additional Requirements for International Students

Equivalency Certificate: International students who completed their education in a foreign system may need to obtain an equivalency certificate to ensure their qualifications meet Indian regulatory standards.
Migration Certificate: A migration certificate is generally required for students who have completed their education from outside the state or country where GIBS is located.
Language Proficiency: Proficiency in English is essential, as all programs at GIBS are conducted in English.

Can a candidate apply for both PGDM and BBA programs simultaneously?

heena agrawal

Hi.

Yes

The University Grants Commission (UGC) guidelines, in accordance with the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, allow students to pursue two academic programs simultaneously. The crucial condition is that the class timings for the two programs do not overlap, which may be possible if one is in a regular physical mode and the other is an online or distance learning program.

However, the BBA is an undergraduate program, and the PGDM is a postgraduate program. They are designed as sequential steps in business education: candidates typically complete their BBA (or another bachelor's degree) before pursuing a PGDM.
