    GIBS Business School, therefore, accepts 'all national-level entrance examination' scores that include the major management exams like CAT, XAT, MAT, CMAT, ATMA, GMAT, and in some cases State CET exams for admissions to PGDM and MBA programs. These scores will determine a candidate's eligibility for the subsequent stages of selection involving the submission of SOP, Group Discussion, and Personal Interview. This multi-exam acceptance policy allows applicants from different academic and test backgrounds to apply conveniently.

    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!
