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.
