GIBS Business School

GIBS follows a structured selection process for both BBA and PGDM programs in assessing the academic readiness, communication skills, and overall suitability of the candidate. The selection begins with an online application followed by screening based on academic records. Shortlisted candidates will have to undergo further evaluation rounds, which usually include GD and PI.

• Application Submission: The application should be submitted online to the GIBS through its website, along with uploading the documentation in the required format.
• Short-listing: It is based on academic marks for 10th, 12th and graduation, and entrance exam scores for PGDM.
• Group Discussion (GD):
• Compulsory for PGDM; it helps assess communication, teamwork, analytical ability, and confidence.
• Personal Interview (PI):
• Compulsory for BBA and PGDM; this assesses personality, motivation, clarity of goals, and programme suitability.
• Additional Components: Some applicants might be required to submit their SOP (Statement of Purpose) for the PGDM program.
• Final Selection: Admission is offered based on the overall performance in academics, entrance exam (PGDM), GD-PI scores, and overall profile.

Yes, GD & PI are compulsory components for the PGDM selection process, while PI is compulsory for BBA admissions.
