GBS School of Business Studies (also known as Gandikota Business School) in Hyderabad, Telangana, offers undergraduate and postgraduate programs in business management with a focus on merit-based or entrance-linked admissions. Established in 2002 and approved by AICTE, it provides accessible pathways for aspiring students through online applications and straightforward eligibility norms.
GBS School of Business Studies is a private institute located in Hyderabad, specializing in BBA (3 years) and MBA/PGDM (2 years) programs, affiliated with Kakatiya University for PG courses. Admissions emphasize academic merit for both UG and PG levels, with options for online or offline applications via the admissions office. The process prioritizes candidates from recognized boards or universities, making it suitable for students post-12th or graduation seeking business careers.
For BBA, candidates need to pass 10+2 or equivalent from a recognized board like CBSE or TSBIE, with selection based on 12th scores. MBA/PGDM requires a bachelor's degree from a recognized university, often merit-based without specified entrance exams, though affiliated university norms may apply.
No minimum percentage is explicitly stated, but strong academic records in qualifying exams are key; final-year graduates can apply for PG programs pending results.
Applications start online through the institute's portal or by contacting admissions@gbspgdm.in; offline forms are available at the office in Banjara Hills or SD Road locations. Submit filled forms with documents, followed by merit list release based on qualifying exam scores— no GD/PI mentioned for most cases. Selected students confirm seats by paying fees; the process is rolling for 2026 intakes, so early application is advised.
Specific 2026 dates are not yet released on official sources, as admissions typically open post-May for the academic year; check gbspgdm.in or email for updates. General timelines follow standard Indian B-school patterns, with applications from summer to early academic year.
