Hi.

• CAT (Common Admission Test)
• MAT (Management Aptitude Test)
• CMAT (Common Management Admission Test)
• XAT (Xavier Aptitude Test)
• ATMA (AIMS Test for Management Admissions)
• MAH CET (Maharashtra Common Entrance Test)
• DPAT  (University's in-house test) 

Hi.

• Government-Mandated Reservations: GIBS is an AICTE-approved and UGC-recognized institution and follows government regulations. For candidates from reserved categories (SC, ST, OBC, EWS, PwD), GIBS offers a relaxation in the minimum aggregate marks required in their qualifying degree:
  • General Category: Minimum 50% aggregate marks in graduation.
  • Reserved Categories (SC, ST, etc.): Minimum 45% aggregate marks in graduation.
• Evaluation and Weightage: The selection process is holistic. While a valid CAT or MAT score is required, the score is only one component of the selection process. The institute also gives weightage to:
  • Academic performance (10th, 12th, graduation).
  • Performance in the Group Discussion (GD) and Personal Interview (PI).
  • Statement of Purpose (SOP).
  • Participation in sports, extracurricular activities, and work experience.
• Specific Quotas: GIBS also has specific internal seat allocations:
  • Approximately 20% of seats are reserved under the management quota, filled through an alternate process that still requires meeting basic eligibility and entrance exam qualification.
  • Around 10% of seats are allocated to NRI and international applicants.

• Percentile Range: The typical CAT cutoff for admission to the PGDM programme at GIBS is generally between the 60 to 70 percentile.
• Consistency: This range has remained relatively consistent over the last few years (2022-2024), generally stabilizing around the 60th percentile as a baseline for consideration.
• Scholarship Consideration: Achieving a higher percentile (70+) can significantly increase a candidate's chances of securing scholarships. 

• Percentile Range: The MAT cutoff tends to be slightly higher in percentile terms compared to CAT, typically ranging from 64 to 75 percentile.
• Consistency: The overall MAT cutoff for the PGDM programme has consistently been around the 64th percentile in recent years (2021-2024).
• Score Range: In terms of raw scores (out of 800), a score in the range of 500-600 marks is generally considered competitive for admission. 

Hi.

Yes

• Merit-Based Consideration: The MAT score is a primary indicator of merit used in the scholarship assessment process. Higher scores can lead to more substantial financial aid.
• Specific Score Tiers: The amount of scholarship typically increases with the percentile achieved in the entrance exam. While specific percentile cutoffs for each scholarship tier can vary by year, achieving a high MAT score (e.g., above the typical admission cutoff of 64+ percentile) is highly beneficial.
• Holistic Review: The final scholarship amount is determined after a holistic review of the candidate's profile, which includes:
  • Entrance Exam Score: Performance in MAT or other accepted tests.
  • Academic Record: Consistent high scores in 10th, 12th, and graduation.
  • GD/PI Performance: Performance during the Group Discussion and Personal Interview stages of the admission process.
  • Extracurricular Achievements: Participation in sports, cultural activities, and leadership roles.
