Admission:

The Admission process was so precise and seamless that the 1st step consisted of an Admission Test named IBSAT. The Eligibility Criteria consist of a minimum of 85 percentile for the main campus. The application form consists of the basic eligibility criteria required for all MBA colleges. The application fee was almost Rs.85000, which is refundable if the candidate withdraws his/her admission. After getting selected for 4 out of 9 campuses, I directly applied for the Bangalore Campus I was allotted. The GD and PI went smoothly and were competitive among the candidates. After getting to the campus, it was tough for us to communicate with other students because students from PAN India have different languages. But maintaining good networking with them helps me to understand them in various ways.
