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

GIBS Business School situated in Bangalore acknowledges CAT, MAT, and XAT as authorized admission tests for both undergraduate and postgraduate programs.
