GIBS is pretty flexible when it comes to admission. You don't always need national test scores like CAT, XAT, or CMAT every year. Yes, those scores can help, but GIBS also offers direct admissions based on your overall profile, graduation marks, and the interview/interaction you have with the admissions team. It's not just about one exam — they look at the full picture, which makes it easier and more student-friendly for people who didn't take big national tests.

Yes, BBA students at IILM Gurugram do get hands-on practice with modern business tools like Excel, SPSS, Canva and even Power BI, as part of their learning.
Tools and how they are used

At GIBS, attendance is taken seriously, but it's handled in a practical way.

Hi.
Candidates without a national-level exam score may be considered under management quota, but scores significantly improve chances.
Higher percentiles can also increase chances of scholarships.
Percentile cutoffs are indicative (CAT/XAT ~60–70 percentile, CMAT ~70 percentile, MAT ~64 percentile).
