Evolve Business School (EBS) in Navi Mumbai, Mumbai, follows a merit-based admission process without published cutoff ranks or percentiles for its autonomous BBA, MBA/PGDM, PGDBA, and certificate programs. Admissions rely on marks from qualifying exams like 10+2 for UG or graduation for PG, with no entrance exam mandates.
As an autonomous private institute established in 2013, EBS selects candidates via merit in the last qualifying exam, such as CBSE 12th or Maharashtra HSC for BBA (60 seats), and graduation marks for MBA/PGDM (100 seats) or PGDBA (40 seats). No standardized tests like CAT/MAT are required; applications are online via ebsmumbai.com, followed by college contact for verification/interview. Minimum eligibility is 50% in 10+2 for BBA and graduation in any stream for PG, with English proficiency and communication skills considered.
No official cutoff ranks, percentiles, or marks are disclosed for 2025 or prior years, as EBS does not participate in centralized CAP like MAH CET. Merit lists are internally prepared based on academic scores, potentially relaxed for reserved categories though not specified. For reference, similar autonomous B-schools accept 50-60% aggregates without strict cutoffs.
Admissions align loosely with general timelines but are not exam-dependent:
Exam/Program
Trend/Notes
CBSE 12th/Maharashtra HSC (BBA)
Merit on board marks; no percentile cutoff
Graduation marks (MBA/PG)
Overall percentage; no sectional
CAT/MAT (optional MBA)
Accepted if submitted, but not mandatory
None (PGDBA/CMA/CGMA)
Direct merit on eligibility
Trends show flexible intake; high scorers are prioritised, but seats are filled via applications.
Category-Wise Insights
No category-wise cutoffs published; reservations (SC/ST/OBC/EWS) follow Maharashtra norms if applicable, but as private/autonomous, relaxations are minimal or merit-only. The general category sets the baseline at 50% eligibility; reserved may get 5% relaxation per state policy analogs. Contact admissions for 2026 specifics.
Additional Information
EBS's process emphasizes holistic fit: extracurriculars, work experience (for executive MBA), and interviews boost chances beyond marks. With 40-100 seats per program, competition is moderate; 2025 saw merit-driven shortlists post-online forms. Unlike CAP colleges (e.g., MHT CET 99+ for top B-schools), EBS prioritizes accessibility for Mumbai professionals. Monitor the site for merit lists.
