    The minimum eligibility to apply at GIBS Bangalore is quite simple. For the PGDM program, you need to have completed your graduation from a recognised university with at least 50% marks. You can also apply if you are in your final year. GIBS accepts entrance exam scores like CAT, MAT, XAT, CMAT, ATMA, or GMAT.
