TSU prepares the final merit list after considering these results together with academic performance, work history, and regional and gender diversity.
Applicants should choose their preferred interview city carefully when applying. TSU does not guarantee a change of city after a candidate has been shortlisted.
MBA-DMC students can seek financial help through need-and-merit support and education loans. Public and private sector banks also provide education loans with favourable interest rates.
Ques. Which test scores can an applicant use for the TSU MBA-DMC selection process?
Ans. Applicants may submit a CAT, XAT, CMAT, CUET-PG, GATE, GMAT, or GRE score. TSU does not organise another entrance examination, so every applicant must take at least one of these national-level tests.
Ques. What CAT or XAT score was used as the General category shortlisting reference?
Ans. In the 2025-27 admission cycle, the indicative minimum for General category applicants was 85 percentile. The actual level can change with the number of applicants and the available batch size.

Ques. Can a fresher apply for MBA-DMC at Tribhuvan Sahkari University?
Ans. Yes. Work experience is not an eligibility requirement, so fresh graduates and applicants with employment experience can both apply. Experience may add value during the final merit assessment, but it is not compulsory.
Ques. How much does the complete TSU MBA-DMC programme cost?
Ans. Each of the four MBA-DMC specialisations has a total two-year residential programme fee of INR 16,43,800. The amount includes tuition, hostel, mess, and related charges.
