There won't be a so-called "Management Quota" for applicants at GIBS Business School whereby an applicant pays a little extra fee (like a donation) or gets in without going through the usual application process of taking an admission test or an interview. All qualified applicants for admission (i.e. through the entrance exam or direct evaluation) will be treated fairly in the same manner with respect to the admissions process, which is strictly based on merit.

The following is how all regular admissions work (for all applicants):

• You submit your application and provide academic records and (for PGDM/MBA) a valid score for any of the entrance tests (i.e. CAT/MAT/CMAT/XAT/ATMA/GMAT) to GIBS.
• All applications are screened by GIBS based on academic records/test scores/overall application profile.
•  Those who are shortlisted will be invited for the selection process, which typically includes a Group Discussion/Personal Interview to assess the candidate's communication skills, clarity of thought, career goals and fit for the program.
•  Based on an overall evaluation of the candidate's scoring on the interview/test scores/academics and overall application profile, final admission decisions will be made.

When you hear the terms "Direct Admission", "Merit Seat", "Institutional Seat", they mean that:

•  An applicant must go through all of the above processes to qualify.
•  An applicant who does not have a certain test score may be evaluated through the same review processes for academic
• records/interview performance/overall application.
• An applicant will go through all of the above evaluations and processes to qualify for admission.

GIBS Business School works in partnership with both corporate partners and global academic institutions to provide students with greater learning opportunities through increased student exposure and broader placement and internship opportunities.

Corporate Partnerships: GIBS has strong networks in numerous industry sectors including (but not limited to) finance, IT/Consulting, FMCG, Logistics, Analytics, and Startup - which allow their students access to real-time projects, mentoring by industry leaders, guest speakers, corporate-level workshops, summer internships, placement opportunities. Prior to employment, GIBS students typically interact with recruiters through pre-placement presentations, corporate visits to GIBS, and through execution of practical tasks, enabling students to learn what is expected in the business world and providing insight into how recruiters expect them to perform in the workforce.

Global Partnerships: GIBS partners with some of the best academic institutions and organisations in the world in order to provide GIBS students with international exposure and educational opportunities abroad. Global partnerships offer students many opportunities for international learning, such as (but not limited to) exchange programs, cross-cultural studies, providing global immersion experiences and joint sessions with international faculty members, as well as research opportunities.

Industry and Global Partnerships work in tandem to provide a comprehensive educational experience for GIBS students - through the combination of local industry experience paired with global perspectives and practical experience students are better suited for careers with multinational companies, entrepreneurship/venture capital, and/or global opportunities.
