Direct admission to the MBA programme at ISB Hyderabad is not the norm. Instead, candidates must undergo a rigorous selection process that considers various criteria to determine eligibility. This process includes evaluating academic qualifications, work experience, and entrance exam scores such as CAT, XAT, or GMAT. Performance in selection rounds like Group Discussion (GD) and Personal Interview (PI) also plays a crucial role in the admission decision-making process.
To be considered for admission, candidates need to meet the minimum cutoff scores in these entrance exams and showcase their abilities during the selection rounds.
