Factors Determining the IBSAT Cutoff

Getting a good score does not guarantee admission to the MBA/ PGPM curriculum. It depends on the following factors:

  • The overall difficulty of the exam. Last year, the students reported the paper on the easy to moderate difficulty level.
  • Number of openings in IBS campuses for MBA/ PGPM curriculums. The cut off marks will go higher if there are fewer openings. The less cut off marks will be set for the campuses with more openings for MBA/ PGPM curriculums.
  • Number of students appeared and qualified with the same high scores
  • Seats availability at all 9 campuses for the said courses.
