MABS Admission Process
MABS admission is based on a valid management entrance score, followed by an on-campus selection round. The final merit list combines entrance percentile, academics, profile and selection-round performance.
MABS PGDM Eligibility

- Final-year students can apply, provided they submit results within the institute's deadline.
- A valid score in CAT, XAT, CMAT, MAT, GMAT, ATMA or an applicable state-level CET.
MABS PGDM Selection Process

- Shortlisted candidates take a case analysis, lecturette and personal interview.
- Selected candidates receive a Letter of Intent by email.

The selection weightage published by MABS is summarised below.

| Personal Interview | 30 |
| Entrance Exam Percentile | 35 |
