Admission to MSRIM's PGDM is entrance-based: candidates need a Bachelor's degree in any discipline with at least 50% aggregate marks (45% for SC/ST candidates) and, ideally, a valid CAT, MAT, KMAT, XAT, CMAT, GMAT or ATMA score. The process runs through five steps - an online application with a INR 1,000 registration fee and a presentation upload, an interview invitation for shortlisted candidates, a Group Discussion and Personal Interview, and finally an offer letter and enrolment. Candidates with pending backlog papers are not eligible, and final-year students must furnish proof of degree completion by 30 September of the admission year.
