CAT Scores

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.
