Hi,
In order to pursue full time MBA or PGDM program you need:
- Graduation in any field with at least 50% aggregate marks to be eligible to apply.
- Then, you need to clear the selection process of the B-school, starting with an entrance test accepted by the B-School. For e.g. CAT, MAT, SNAP, CMAT, MAH-CET, etc.
The selection process in B-schools is generally based on:
- Past academic record
- Scores in management entrance tests
- Performance in Group Discussion
- Performance in Personal Interview
- Work experience
Each B-school shortlists candidates for the second/ final stage of selection, which may be independent of each other. The process may include:
- Written Ability Test (What)
- Group Discussions (GD)
- Personal Interviews (PI)
Performance in various management entrance tests is an important component in the admission process. B-schools may use previous academic performance of the candidates, relevant work experience and other similar inputs in short listing and ranking of candidates at various stages of the admission process.
The processes, academic cut-offs and the weights allocated to the evaluation parameters may vary across B-schools. Please note that you have to apply separately in each B-school you wish to take admission, once you apply then you have to go through the selection process mentioned above.
The dates of MAH CET 2018 have not been announced yet. However, going by the past trends, the exam is expected to take place in March, 2018. Exam registration is likely to begin from the fourth week of January, and is expected to continue till third week of February, 2018.

MBA/PGDM gets preference over other qualifications in corporate jobs across most of the industry domains because MBAs understand the language of business. In most of the functions, which are keys to survival for an organization in any industry domain, understanding of the language of business is very important. Functions like Marketing, Human Resources Management and Finance Management is the key to the survival of an organization. This does not mean that production and operations are less important. But at least in Marketing and Human Resources Management, MBA/PGDM is an essential qualification. Finance functions can do with CAs but then again there are not enough CAs to fill in the huge requirement of finance professionals in the country.
By the language of business, we mean certain particular terms and concepts which are essential for one to know in managing a business appropriately. By business here, I mean large scale businesses. A small businessman can do without these business terms and concepts but managers of large-scale businesses cant. Terms and concepts like branding, ROI, marginal cost, value, product lifecycle, retention, and net worth are essential in running such businesses and these are not understood well by non-MBAs.
Any AICTE & AIU approved PGDM which is equivalent to MBA has 2 years duration. For details of the curriculum, you can visit:

Hello,
It is conducted on Feb 10, 2019, ie Sunday. It is an online exam where you will be provided with a mouse. You will not be provided with a keyboard rather you will have a virtual numerical keyboard which is used in section 3/c and scribbling pad which has to be returned after the exam
the question paper consists of three sections -A, B, C and each section consists of 20 questions.
Section A is all about choosing one correct answer and you will be awarded negative marks for every wrong answer (-1/3).
Section B is about choosing multiple questions. Negative marking is there for this section also ie 2/3.
In section C, you have answer all the questions in numericals.

The first and foremost eligibility requirement is to have completed a basic Bachelors level graduation degree. This could be an engineering degree (BE, B.Tech), B.Sc, B.Com, BA or in any other discipline. A Masters or doctoral (Ph.D) degree is also fine. Many who've gone abroad for a Masters work for a few years and then take up an MBA after MS.
A full-time degree from a reputed university is preferred. However, some MBA colleges may also accept correspondence and distance education.
The primary evidence that you ll submit to prove your credentials are your academic transcripts. These include semester-wise marks for each subject that was covered in your degree.
Unlike a 2-year MBA in India, MBA colleges abroad expect students to have had substantial exposure to the working world. In fact, they expect not only technical skills.
All the best!
