The admission process at GIBS involves online application, shortlisting based on entrance exams (like GMAT, CAT, MAT, XAT) and academic performance, and then a selection process including a Group Discussion (GD) and Personal Interview (PI). Finally, a composite score is used for the final selection, leading to an admission offer for selected candidates who then pay the required fees for enrollment. The timeline varies depending on the application cycle, but it generally follows these steps sequentially from application to final admission.
