Admission to PIBM's PGDM and MBA-family programmes is entrance-based: candidates need a graduation degree (any discipline) with at least 50% aggregate marks and a valid score in CAT, XAT, CMAT, MAT, ATMA, MAH-MBA-CET, or PIBM's own PMAT (Management Aptitude Test). Shortlisted candidates then go through a Written/Aptitude Test, a Group Discussion (GD) and a Personal Interview (PI) conducted at the PIBM campus, with final selection based on a composite of entrance score, academic record and GD-PI performance. The premium PGDM Prime track additionally requires a minimum 70 percentile in CAT 2025 or XAT 2026. Application deadlines are extended periodically and should be confirmed on pibm.in or pibm.net closer to the intended intake.
