Admission to PGDM and MBA is entrance-based: candidates need a graduation degree in any discipline with 50%+ marks and a valid score in CAT, XAT, CMAT, MAT, GMAT, ATMA or an applicable State CET such as KMAT. Final selection uses a composite score weighing the entrance exam (20%), academic record (20%), Statement of Purpose plus Group Discussion and Personal Interview (40%), work experience (10%) and diversity/extracurriculars (10%). BBA admission, by contrast, is largely merit-based on prior academic performance, followed by a Group Discussion and Personal Interview.
