Admission:

All the AICTE approved scores like NMAT/XAT/CAT are accepted for admission at ICFAI. Students are called for the GD/PI rounds based on the merit in the entrance exam. Since many B-Schools are replacing written ability tests with the GD round, so I am not sure if they still take the GD round. But the personal interview round is a crucial step in the selection process.
