I chose this college out of the options available because it was near to my home and had a decent placement numbers too. CAT percentile and overall profile made a huge impact in rejection from other colleges.
IIM Bodh Gaya has a pretty simple admission process through CAP and SAP. It started with filling out a CAT form for around INR2000. It usually begins in July month. The frequency of this exam is once per year. I am a general-category student. Although the process is very smooth during interviews student need to wait for hours in meeting rooms without knowing their turn so this could be improved.

Students on completion of class 12, can apply for the exam. The application forms are floated online. I availed myself of the OBC Reservation where I was required to provide the certificate while joining. No improvement is required as such.
A valid CAT score is very important for admission to the MBA course and it is based on the Cutoff criteria of the CAP round. The CAP round includes the admission process for 9 IIMs. If your CAT percentile is above the specified cutoff then you will receive a mail from CAP host IIM and your WAT-PI will be scheduled. Once the PIs are done for all the candidates, the 9 IIMs will individually release their shortlists and waitlists on their respective websites for all the eligible candidates. You must constantly check their websites if you're placed in a waitlist and once you are shortlisted you need to book your seat by paying designated admission fees.
The entrance exam for the MBA course was CAT. The eligibility criteria for the exam is a bachelor's degree with a minimum of 50% marks. All the necessary information, like the application form, fees, and dates, can be found on the official CAT portal or other educational websites.
