GBS School of Business Studies (Gandikota Business School), Hyderabad, follows a primarily merit-based admission process without published entrance exam cutoffs. Admissions rely on qualifying exam scores (12th for BBA, graduation for MBA/PGDM), making it accessible for students without competitive test pressures.
For BBA (3 years), eligibility requires passing 10+2 or equivalent from boards like CBSE/TSBIE, with selection via merit on those marks—no minimum percentage specified beyond passing, though 40% aggregate noted in some sources. No entrance exams accepted; apply via TS DOST portal, Meeseva centers, or directly.MBA/PGDM (2 years, affiliated to Kakatiya University) mandates a bachelor's degree from a recognized university, again merit-based on graduation marks—no GD/PI or cutoffs listed. Final-year students are eligible provisionally; reservations for SC/ST/minorities apply per state norms.Process: Online/offline application, merit list, fee payment—no category-wise ranks needed due to non-competitive entry.
No official cutoffs exist for TS ICET, CAT, MAT, or others, as admissions are based on direct merit without entrance mandates. Unlike TS ICET-linked colleges (cutoffs ~10,000-50,000 ranks), GBS prioritizes academic records over scores.For 2025, no data published; institute's small scale and merit focus mean "cutoffs" effectively passing marks (e.g., 40% in 10+2 for UG per general TS norms). Student reviews confirm no exam barriers—admission via application if eligible.
No acceptance of major exams: Unlike peers (e.g., GITAM HBS CAT 70 percentile), GBS lists none. BBA via CBSE 12th/TSBIE merit only—no JEE/TS EAMCET. PGDM merit on degree—no TS ICET/CMAT required, though university affiliation may allow scores for preference, unconfirmed.Trends stable: Direct entry keeps "cutoffs" low/passing-level; no year-wise escalation seen in reviews (2014-2025 batches admitted similarly).
State reservations apply (SC/ST/OBC/minorities), but no specific cutoff ranks/percentiles are published—merit lists adjust seats proportionally. For UG, 40% minimum possibly relaxed for reserved; PG similar without quantified data.No 2025 breakdowns available; general TS policy: 15% SC, 6% ST, etc., filled by lower merit thresholds than general.
Affordable fees (~?45K/year UG) suit merit-focused access; apply early July via TSDOST for UG. For 2026, monitor gbspgdm.in—no cutoffs expected to change paradigm. Reviews note easy entry but stress self-prep for outcomes.Compared to TS ICET colleges (e.g., ranks 20K+ general for mid-tier PGDM); GBS is ideal for non-test takers.
