What is the latest cutoff information for admission to MBA at Athena School of Management?

Candidates must have earned a minimum of 50% in their 10+2 (PUC or equivalent) in any of the following subjects from an accredited board: science, commerce, or the arts in order to be eligible for the GIBS Business School's BBA program. Provisional applications are also accepted from students taking their final 12th grade exams. A review of academic performance is typically part of the selection process, which is followed by a group discussion and an in-person interview to gauge leadership and communication abilities. The same requirements apply to NRI candidates as well. Essential documents like grade reports from grades 10 and 12, migration and transfer certificates, and passport-size photos must be submitted by applicants. All things considered, GIBS guarantees that the BBA intake consists of driven students who have solid academic backgrounds and a desire to learn management.
