Yes, there is an application fee for GIBS admissions, but it is not very high.
- For PGDM/MBA, the application fee is around ₹900–₹1000
- For BBA (UG), it is around ₹600–₹800

- The process is simple and smooth for both UG and PG
Overall, the application fee is just a basic step to start your admission process at GIBS.
