Shanti Business School Admission Process

Admission to the SBS PGDM is based on a valid management entrance score, followed by a written ability test and personal interview. Work experience is not mandatory, so freshers make up a large share of each batch. Check more detailed SBS Admission process below:

PGDM and PGDM-Marketing Admission

Candidates must meet the following eligibility criteria:

• Bachelor's degree (10+2+3 or 10+2+4) from a UGC-recognised university
• Minimum 50% aggregate marks (45% for reserved categories)
• Valid score in CAT, XAT, MAT, CMAT or ATMA, taken within the last 12 months
• Final-year students can apply, but must submit results by October 31 of the admission year

The selection process runs in these stages:

• Online application on the official website
• Shortlisting based on entrance score and academics
• WAT / Idea Representation round
• Personal Interview
• Final offer and fee payment

SBS uses a fixed weightage to prepare the final merit list.

Since the GD and PI carry 40% weightage, interview performance matters more than the exam score. SBS does not publish a fixed CAT or MAT cutoff, so moderate percentiles remain competitive here.

BBA and BCA Admission

Admission to the BBA and BCA programs is based on 10+2 marks from a recognised board. Candidates apply through the official website, and details are shared by the admissions office.

Shanti Business School Campus and Infrastructure

SBS lists academic collaborations with IMT France, CIMA (UK), FOM University (Germany) and Torrens University (Australia). Students generally rate the faculty well, though some feel extracurricular activities could be stronger.

Shanti Business School vs Narayana Business School vs SKIPS Ahmedabad

PGDM aspirants in Ahmedabad often weigh SBS against Narayana Business School (NBS) and St. Kabir Institute of Professional Studies (SKIPS). All three are AICTE-approved standalone B-schools that admit through CAT, XAT, MAT, CMAT and ATMA.

NBS leads on the highest package but charges about INR 2 to 3 Lakhs more. SKIPS is the most affordable of the three, while SBS sits in the middle on fees with NBA accreditation for its PGDM.
