MBA/PGDM

The candidates applying to GIBS Business School, Bangalore, have to upload or submit some necessary documents to verify the information regarding academics and personal details. The documents which are required for this purpose include passport-sized photographs, copies of the 10th and 12th mark sheets, and the graduation mark sheet/degree certificate in case of a PGDM/MBA applicant. The applicants also need to attach a valid entrance test scorecard (CAT, MAT, XAT, CMAT, ATMA, GMAT) for the PGDM course and photo identity proof in the form of an Aadhaar card, PAN card, or passport. A student awaiting results may submit a provisional certificate/marks sheet of the final year later on. International students can attach passport and visa copies. The candidates who would apply can do so both online and offline: they may upload the documents digitally through the official portal of GIBS or submit hard copies at the admission office.

The general eligibility criteria for MBA/PGDM programmes of many NMAT-accepting colleges are:

• A bachelor's degree (10+2+3 years minimum) in any discipline from a recognised university. 

• Minimum 50% aggregate marks (or equivalent CGPA) in the qualifying bachelor's degree.

• Final year students may often apply provisionally, provided they submit their degree certificate/marksheet before the deadline. 

• Some colleges prefer or require 2+ years of work experience, especially for specialised programmes (e.g., analytics, digital transformation). 

• Generally no upper age limit for appearing in NMAT.

Important tip: Always check the specific eligibility requirements of each college you apply to — specialisations, streams, or campuses may have additional criteria (for example, maths/statistics background, domain experience in healthcare/pharma, etc.).
