    GIBS Business School is considered highly competitive with an acceptance rate of around 20%, making it relatively hard to get admission. Admission is based on a holistic evaluation including academic performance, entrance exam scores (CAT, MAT, XAT, CMAT, ATMA, GMAT), work experience, statement of purpose, group discussions, and interviews

    For BBA at GIBS, it's not super tough to get in. You need around 60% in your 12th, and there's no big entrance exam. What really matters is how you do in the interview and group discussion—they want to see your confidence and attitude. So if you prepare well and show who you are, you have a good chance.

    For PGDM, it's a bit different. You need a graduation degree with at least 50%, and you should have scores from exams like CAT, MAT, CMAT, or XAT.

    Honestly, getting into GIBS Business School isn't too hard if you're serious about it. You just need to have a decent score in any of the entrance exams like CAT, MAT, CMAT, etc., and do well in the personal interview. They look for students who are passionate, confident, and ready to learn — not just top scorers. So, if you're focused and prepared, you definitely have a good chance of getting in.

Saying whether getting into GIBS Business School is tough or easy will be subjective as it will require some subject selection as well as objective processes such as

  • Statement of Purpose
  • Personal Interviews
  • Entrance Exam scores

The accepted exams are MAT, XAT, CAT, CMAT, ATMA, KMAT, etc. but these exams are only the eligibility with the final selection depending on the above.
