GIBS Business School in Bangalore has a competitive but fair admission process. They look at your entrance exam scores (like CAT, MAT, CMAT, GMAT, or ATMA), your graduation marks, and also your performance in a Group Discussion and Personal Interview.

GIBS Business School does not publicly disclose a fixed acceptance rate, but admissions are moderately competitive.
The PGDM programme requires a valid score in national-level entrance exams like CAT, XAT, CMAT, MAT, ATMA, or GMAT, followed by group discussion and personal interview.
For BBA, selection is based on academic performance, a Statement of Purpose, and an online interview.
While GIBS is known for its inclusive approach, strong academic records and entrance scores improve chances of admission.
