Respected Principal, Teachers, and Dear Friends,

Good Morning/Afternoon!

Today I am going to talk about one of the most important decisions in a student's life — choosing the best university, especially in North India.

North India is home to some of the most prestigious and highly-ranked universities in the country. These institutions are known for their world-class education, excellent faculty, research opportunities, strong industry connections, and outstanding placement records. Some of the top universities in this region include Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Delhi, University of Delhi (DU), Banaras Hindu University (BHU), Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU), Lovely Professional University (LPU), and Panjab University. These universities attract students from all over India and abroad because of their reputation for academic excellence and career opportunities. �

Today, I would especially like to mention Quantum University, located in Roorkee, Uttarakhand. Quantum University is one of the well-recognised private universities in North India. It has grown rapidly and earned many national rankings and awards for its quality education, industry-oriented curriculum, and student development programs. �

In conclusion, while there are many top universities in North India with national and international reputation, Quantum University stands out as a progressive and highly ranked private university, especially for students who want a blend of experienced faculty, practical learning, and placement opportunities.

Thank you!

Generally, GIBS Business School does not impose a minimum cutoff on the CAT (Common Admission Test) sections when completing a student's admission decision. GIBS considers CAT scores in relation to the entire profile of a candidate, considering the overall CAT scoring percentile and overall profile rather than imposing strict criterion regarding the section scores of the CAT (e.g., VARC, DILR, QA).

GIBS takes a holistic view in evaluating applications for admission, as the score from the entrance exam is only one of the items to be considered in determining a student's overall merit. GIBS evaluates a candidate's overall profile, including academic record, entrance exam score, GD, PI and the strength of the complete profile for the purpose of selecting candidates for the shortlist and for future selection rounds. Therefore, even if your section scores are unbalanced, as long as your overall score and percentile are competitive, you may still be included in the shortlist and invited to the next stages of selection.

MAT test scores can be used to determine if an applicant is eligible for a scholarship at GIBS Business School. GIBS uses test performance as the basis for awarding scholarships and accepts a variety of management tests including the MAT (in addition to the CAT, CMAT, XAT, ATMA, GMAT, and others). Higher test scores, including those achieved on the MAT, can increase the applicant's chances of being awarded a merit-based scholarship which would reduce their financial burden and reward them for their academic achievements.

Therefore, if an applicant achieves a high score on the MAT, it could positively influence their ability to receive a scholarship from GIBS, depending on the institution's scholarship policy and cut-off scores for that year's admission cycle.

While GIBS Business School does not have its own full-dual degree programme available on campus, there are still plenty of international exchange and global exposure options available for students through their various partnerships with other institutions around the world. For example, GIBS partners with the International Association of Educational Executives (IAEAEC) in Russia to provide students with academic exchanges, research projects, and cross-cultural learning opportunities. All these programs help students develop global perspectives, enhanced competencies, and access to international networks as part of their overall management coursework.

You will need to submit original documents along with self-attested photocopies of these documents for verification before gaining admission into the GIBS Business School, Bangalore. The following are the important documents:

• Aadhaar /Passport/Voter ID/Driving License
• 10th (SSLC) Mark Sheet and Certificate
• 12th (PUC/10+2) Mark Sheet and Certificate
• All Semester/Year Mark Sheets for your Graduation;
• Degree Certificate or Provisional Certificate (for Final Year students);
• Entrance Exam Scorecard such as CAT / MAT / CMAT / XAT / ATMA / GMAT / GIBS Internal Test;
• Passport size photographs (generally 4-6);
• Migration Certificate (in case you have one);
• Transfer Certificate (TC) from your last educational institute;
• Certificate of Work Experience (if applicable);
• Certificate of Caste (SC/ST/OBC/EWS, if applicable);
• Bank Transaction Receipt for Admission Fees; and

Students may also be required to submit their value-added certification (internships, achievements, or professional training) during the verification process.

While GIBS Business School allows candidates to submit scores from the National Examination (CAT, MAT, CMAT, XAT, ATMA or GMAT), it also requires candidates wishing to apply for a PGDM / MBA programme who do not have these scores or wish to increase their chances of being accepted by taking the GIBS Aptitude Test, to take the GIBS Aptitude Test first. This is an internal test administered by GIBS Business School to evaluate candidates' analytical and reasoning skills, communication and interpersonal skills as well as their overall potential. Candidates who are short-listed based upon their performance on the GIBS Aptitude Test may then proceed through the next step of the admissions process (interview and/or group discussion) before receiving a final admissions decision from GIBS Business School.
