    Hello, one can prepare for CAT (and other MBA entrance exams, if one wishes to) during the final year of graduation provided he/she can manage both college studies and exam preparation without any issues. Around six months of diligent preparation is considered sufficient to crack CAT with a very good score.

At GIBS, they keep the entrance exam part really simple. For PGDM or MBA, they accept almost all the common exams like CAT, XAT, MAT, CMAT, ATMA, and GMAT. Even state-level or institute-level scores are considered.

Honestly, GIBS doesn't stress too much about “only one specific exam.” As long as you have written any of these exams and meet the basic cut-off, you're good to apply. They focus more on your overall profile, communication, and interest in management rather than just exam marks.

ALL THE BEST!

At GIBS, the faculty-to-student ratio is around 1:15, which honestly makes learning a lot easier. Since the classes aren't overcrowded, the faculty actually get time to focus on each student.

You can easily ask your doubts, get personal guidance, and have open discussions. It feels more like a mentor-student connection than a typical classroom setup. This helps a lot in understanding concepts better and building confidence for real-world situations.
