At GIBS, our reservation policy differs significantly from that of government colleges.
Reservation Process for CAT and MAT Candidates
- At GIBS, we do not follow an established reservation system (SC/ST/OBC/EWS) as part of our admission process.
- Additionally, GIBS does not allocate a separate number of seats to candidates based on CAT or MAT category.
How Admissions Work
GIBS uses a merit-based admission process in which all qualified applicants are evaluated for admission based on different criteria:
- Entrance Exam Score (CAT/MAT/Other Exams)
- Academic Record
- Group Discussion/GD
- Personal Interview/PI
- Total Profile & Communication Skills
