    Hello,
    There are basically 4 sections in MBA entrance exam - Verbal Ability, DILR, Quants and GK.
    Verbal Ability:
    Start reading newspaper daily to increase your reading speed and grasping power. It will also help you to get in touch with basic vocab. Don't miss out the editorial page. Do a proper analysis of articles on the editorial page. Try to make a summary of articles that you read para by para. You can switch to the book called WORD POWER MADE EASY by NORMAN LEWIS.
    DILR
    The best thing to score in LR-DI is to practice more questions on a daily basis so you understand which sets you should leave and before attempting the sets what are t

    Hi,
    To begin with, attempt a couple of mocks. On a general level, understand where do you stand currently. Once you know where you are, you need to know how to proceed. You could solve chapter wise problems for quants and logic. Keep reading as much as you can. Try to interpret on your own about every sentence of what you read. You'll find lots of books on CAT course in any store. But the best help will be mock attempts. Mocks will always keep showing where you stand, what are your weakness and strengths. This will help you plan your roadmap while you attempt the main exam.
    Good luck.

At GIBS, they keep the entrance exam part really simple. For PGDM or MBA, they accept almost all the common exams like CAT, XAT, MAT, CMAT, ATMA, and GMAT. Even state-level or institute-level scores are considered.

Honestly, GIBS doesn't stress too much about “only one specific exam.” As long as you have written any of these exams and meet the basic cut-off, you're good to apply. They focus more on your overall profile, communication, and interest in management rather than just exam marks.

ALL THE BEST!

Rather than using solely high cut-offs, the entrance test scores are used to judge the aptitude of a candidate in terms of analysis, quant, and verbal for management education at GIBS.

At GIBS, the faculty-to-student ratio is around 1:15, which honestly makes learning a lot easier. Since the classes aren't overcrowded, the faculty actually get time to focus on each student.

You can easily ask your doubts, get personal guidance, and have open discussions. It feels more like a mentor-student connection than a typical classroom setup. This helps a lot in understanding concepts better and building confidence for real-world situations.
