ISBR Business School uses entrance exam results and its four-stage assessment to select PGDM and MBA students. Graduates from any subject can apply. Professional experience is not compulsory, though it is considered during the interview.
The flagship PGDM is a 2-year programme approved by AICTE, New Delhi. Its tracks cover Core Management, Product Management, Finance and FinTech, Healthcare Management, Data Science and Business Analytics, Sports Management, and Global. The Global option includes a semester abroad. The complete programme fee ranges from INR 11 Lakhs - INR 17.38 Lakhs.
| Programme | Eligibility | Selection Basis |
|---|---|---|
| PGDM in Core, Finance, Healthcare, Data Science, Product, Sports, or Global | A Bachelor's degree from a recognised university with at least 50% aggregate marks, or 45% for SC/ST applicants. Students in the final year of graduation may submit a provisional application. | A national entrance examination score and ISBR's Aptitude Test, Cognitive Case Study, Micro Presentation, and Personal Interview |
Accepted examinations: CAT, XAT, GMAT, CMAT, NMAT, MAT, ATMA, KMAT, and PGCET. An applicant who does not have a national examination score can take the ISBR Aptitude Test instead.
There is no single minimum entrance percentile for PGDM shortlisting. ISBR conducts the assessment online or at its Bangalore campus according to its schedule. Applicants without CAT or XAT scores may still earn admission by performing well in the institute's Aptitude Test.
The full-time MBA takes 2 years and is affiliated with a recognised university. Its total fee is INR 11 Lakhs according to the 2026 fee data. Current fee details should be checked at isbr.in because the amount may be revised.

| MBA, 2-Year | A recognised Bachelor's degree with at least 50% aggregate marks, or 45% for SC/ST applicants. Final-year students can apply provisionally. | CAT, XAT, GMAT, CMAT, NMAT, MAT, or an equivalent score, followed by the ISBR Aptitude Test and Personal Interview |
MBA applicants complete the Aptitude Test, Cognitive Case Study, Micro Presentation, and Personal Interview. The MBA leads to a university-affiliated degree certificate, while the PGDM leads to an AICTE-approved diploma. Companies widely accept both qualifications.
PGDM and MBA applicants can be considered for merit scholarships when they join ISBR Business School. These awards reduce the tuition fee and are decided by the ISBR Scholarship Committee.
Ques. Can a student apply for the ISBR PGDM without taking CAT?
Ans. Yes. CAT is only one of the nine accepted examinations. ISBR also considers XAT, GMAT, CMAT, NMAT, MAT, ATMA, KMAT, and PGCET. A student with none of these scores may directly take the ISBR Aptitude Test, since no particular national examination is compulsory.
Ques. Which assessment rounds must PGDM and MBA applicants complete?
Ans. The process has four rounds. Applicants first take the 60-mark, 60-minute ISBR Aptitude Test. They then complete a Cognitive Case Study, deliver a Micro Presentation, and attend a Personal Interview. Every shortlisted applicant must take part in all four stages.
Ques. How much does the 2-year PGDM at ISBR cost?
Ans. The all-inclusive PGDM fee is INR 11 Lakhs - INR 17.38 Lakhs. The 2-year Global PGDM, which includes an international semester, costs INR 17,38,000. ISBR may revise its fees each year, so applicants should verify the latest amount at isbr.in.
Ques. What tuition scholarships can an ISBR applicant receive?
Ans. ISBR provides five full-ride awards with a 100% tuition fee waiver to applicants who have a CAT percentile of 90 or above, or a GMAT score of 700 or above, along with an academic record of at least 90%. There are also 20 scholarships with a 50% waiver, 25 scholarships with a 25% waiver, and five sports awards with a 25% waiver. Applications are accepted at apply.isbr.in/pgdm-scholarship-application.
Ques. What academic qualification is needed for the MBA or PGDM?
Ans. Applicants from any academic subject need a Bachelor's degree from a recognised university. The minimum aggregate is 50%, or 45% for SC/ST applicants. Final-year students may apply provisionally, but they must provide their final marksheet before joining.
Ques. What is the expected schedule for the next PGDM application cycle?
Ans. Applications for the 2027 admission cycle are expected after the CAT 2026 result, with the entrance examination scheduled for November 29, 2026. The tentative final application deadline is June 2027. Since ISBR follows rolling admissions and scholarships have limited seats, students should check apply.isbr.in for the active deadline and apply early.
Ques. Are any ISBR seats offered through a management quota?
Ans. No formal management quota is available at ISBR Business School. PGDM and MBA places are awarded on merit through the institute's selection process. Applicants may submit the form at apply.isbr.in with a national examination score or take the ISBR Aptitude Test if they do not have one.
Ques. Which undergraduate business and computer courses are offered by ISBR?
Ans. The four BBA choices are BBA Core, BBA in Aviation, BBA in Business Analytics, and BBA with CMA, which stands for Certified Management Accountants. ISBR also offers BCA in Data Analytics. Each is a 3-year, full-time course at the Bangalore campus. Depending on the programme, total fees fall between INR 10.32 Lakhs and INR 11.22 Lakhs.
Ques. What fee applies to the ISBR MBA programme?
Ans. Based on the 2026 fee data, the 2-year MBA costs INR 11 Lakhs. The PGDM fee is INR 11 Lakhs - INR 17.38 Lakhs. The MBA is a university-affiliated degree, while the PGDM includes extra industry interaction and certification components. Fees can change, so students should confirm the latest amount at isbr.in.
Ques. Can a fresh graduate join the ISBR PGDM or MBA?
Ans. Yes. Prior employment is not required for either programme, and fresh graduates make up most of the PGDM group. Professional experience may still help an applicant during the Personal Interview because ISBR gives it preference at that stage.
