Admission to PGDM is entrance-based: candidates need a graduation degree in any discipline with at least 50% marks and a valid score in CAT, XAT, CMAT, MAT, ATMA or GMAT (or the institute's own Praxis Admission Test), with preference given to candidates around the 70th percentile in CAT/XAT or 80th percentile in MAT/ATMA. Shortlisted candidates then go through a Written Analysis Test and Personal Interview, with the application fee set at INR 1,200 for General category and INR 600 for SC/ST/OBC candidates. The FPM programme, by contrast, requires a Master's degree with 55%+ marks and carries an application fee of INR 1,000.
