PGPM/MBA(2024-26)- Application Guidelines

Important Instructions

Prior to filling the online application, please read the eligibility criterion given on the reverse of the voucher and also on the website
ibsindia.org and gather the information needed to complete the process:

Ensure you have a valid email address, telephone number and address before you apply. These should be valid throughout
the admission process.

Keep the marks sheets of X, XII, Graduation ready for calculating percentage of marks. The percentage obtained
is to be calculated as per the practice followed by the Board/University/Institution from where you will be
graduating.


If academic institutions offer grade point averages (GPA), they need to be converted into percentage score as
per the conversion scheme of that institution. If an institution does not have a conversion scheme for GPA, the
equivalence has to be calculated by dividing obtained Cumulative GPA (CGPA) by the maximum possible CGPA and
multiplying by 100.

Estimated time to complete this process: 20-30 minutes.
