Admission to the PGDM-ABM follows a Common Admission Process: candidates submit a valid CAT, XAT, CMAT (NTA), GMAT, MAT or ATMA score (GMAT/GRE for NRI/foreign candidates), after which shortlisted candidates go through a Group Discussion (GD) and Personal Interview (PI). The final merit list weighs the entrance-exam score, academic record, work experience and GD/PI performance, with reservation applied for OBC (Non-Creamy)/EWS/SC/ST/PwD candidates as per Government of India norms. The Post Graduate Diploma in Cooperative Business Management (PGDCBM/DCBM), by contrast, admits primarily serving cooperative-sector and government-department officers through academic-record and work-experience-based shortlisting followed by a Personal Interview, without a national entrance test.
