There are two ways to apply for admission to GIBS Business School (Post Graduate Diploma in Management (PGDM) and all other programs). These are as follows:

1.  The Online Application Method
2.  The Offline Application Method

•   Online Application

The online application method is GIBS' preferred method of application and is easily completed using the GIBS website. All you need to do is fill out the online application form, upload your required documents and pay for your application fee using one of several methods available to you, such as UPI (Unified Payments Interface), net banking, a debit/credit card, etc. This method is both fast, simple and allows your profile to be created and accessed immediately by GIBS.

•  Offline Application

If, for any reason, you cannot use the online application method, you may also apply for admission to GIBS by going to the GIBS admissions office or campus in person. All you need to do is fill out a printed application form, attach any required documents and pay your application fee (in the form of a demand draft or at the GIBS admissions counter). The admissions team will be happy to assist you throughout this process​ in person.

GIBS accepts either method of application; however, we recommend the online application method as it provides the greatest convenience, particularly for applicants living outside of the city.
