Admission:
For Mba, the only eligibility is to have a bachelor degree and good score in cat or cmat. I gave cmat and got 94 percentile. In CAT anything above 80 percentile would work. Just need to crack the PI. We have a lot of quizzes in every semester along with mid term and end term. The difficulty level depends on the faculties and the level of understanding of that subject. For engineers, the statistical subjects were easier but they struggled a bit with accounting initially.
