For PGDM and MBA admissions at GIBS Business School, the college is very flexible with entrance exams. They accept:

• CAT
• XAT
• MAT
• CMAT
• ATMA
• GMAT

Even if you don't have any of these scores, you can still get admission through their direct admission or interview process.

You don't strictly need CAT to get into GIBS Business School. They accept both CAT and MAT scores, but even if you haven't appeared for them, you can still get admission through their direct admission or interview process.

• CAT → accepted, helps in selection

• MAT → also accepted, gives another option

• No exam → possible through interview or direct admission

• Focus on communication, confidence, and overall profile

In short, GIBS is flexible. You can join even without CAT or MAT if you perform well in the selection process.

The first week is honestly a mix of orientation overload and mild confusion. There are introductions, briefings, maybe a few ice-breaking activities, but it's also when you're trying to figure out everything at once: the classrooms, schedules, and people. By the end of the week, though, things start settling. You recognize faces, understand how classes work, and the anxiety drops pretty quickly.

Mostly through a mix of group work (sharing load), last-minute collaboration and taking breaks between deadlines

Pressure definitely spikes during submissions, but it's not unmanageable if you stay somewhat organized.

Absolutely! There are enough common areas, classrooms, and library spaces to sit and work. The college has a recreation room with bean bags and a lot of space for people to work, sit, read, or just catch up with peers, two cafes, two libraries, and several classrooms! During peak submission time, though, these spaces can fill up quickly, so you might have to “hunt” for a spot.

For BBA, It's manageable, but you do feel the gap initially. Subjects like finance or accounting can feel unfamiliar in the beginning. That said, most courses start from basics, and over time, with notes, peers, and a bit of extra effort, the gap reduces. 

Yes, apart from CAT, the International Management Institute, New Delhi, also accepts the XAT score for admission to its PGDM courses. Only the shortlisted candidates are invited to the Individual Assessment Process (Essay Writing and Personal Interview, etc.) for final admission. The institute also accepts the GMAT entrance exam for admission.

IMI New Delhi admission to the MBA/PGDM courses is based on the CAT exam. The CAT cutoff is not released publicly and can only be accessed via students' registered login ID and password. As per the past years' cutoff trends, the overall estimated CAT cutoff percentile is 90.
