IBSAT Test Results 2025 Declared, Scholarship Letters Issued and Selection Process Details Announced

The IBSAT 2025 Test with scholarships was successfully concluded on 27 & 28 December 2025. The top 500 IBSAT rankers will also receive their scholarship letters along with the results.

The candidates can log in to their profiles and check the result on the IBSAT 2025 result section on the official website.

The majority of students noted that the two-hour time limit was sufficient to attempt the 140 questions, and the absence of negative marking gave them the confidence to attempt more questions. Students also appreciated the preparatory support provided by free mock tests from various sources, including the official IBS website (www.ibsindia.org), the IBS mobile app, and popular edu-portals. Overall, the test was considered manageable and of moderate difficulty, requiring critical thinking skills to come to the fore.

IBS Applications are open to all CAT/ XAT / NMAT by GMAC™/ GMAT™ applicants having valid scores.

The eligible scores are mentioned below.

• GMAT™ score of 500 and above
• CAT score of 60th percentile and above
• NMAT by GMAC™ score of 150 and above
• XAT score of 60th percentile and above

The scores from 2023 onwards are accepted.

The IBS selection process will consist of a personal interview and a micro-presentation. The micro presentation topics will be general in nature and chosen randomly from a pool of 1–100. An option to choose one more topic will be provided in case the candidate is not comfortable with the first selected topic.

The NMAT applicants, even if they selected ICFAI Business School (IBS) as a choice after their NMAT test, must still apply to IBS separately by paying the INR 1800 application fee, like all other applicants.

The XAT-2026 applicants can submit their IBS application now and update their score once it's received in January 2026.
