If you’re looking to get direct admission into the top MBA colleges in India, here’s what you need to know:
1. Eligibility: You should have a bachelor’s degree in any discipline with at least 50% marks (or equivalent CGPA) from a recognized university. If you belong to the SC/ST/OBC category, a minimum of 45% marks is required.
2. Entrance exams: Many colleges accept scores from national-level entrance exams like CAT, MAT, XAT, CMAT, etc. Some colleges may have their own entrance exams as well.
3. Application process: You can apply to various colleges through their respective websites. You may have to pay an application fee, submit your academic and personal details, and upload necessary documents like mark sheets, certificates, etc.
4. Group Discussion and Personal Interview: If you pass the entrance exam, you will be called for a Group Discussion and Personal Interview (GD-PI) round. In GD, you will be given a topic to discuss, and in PI, your communication skills, personality, and aptitude will be evaluated.
5. Selection: The final selection is based on your cumulative score (entrance exam scores + GD-PI scores), and sometimes, the work experience and academic diversity may also be taken into consideration.
