Management Education & Research Institute (Meri), New Delhi Application/Admission Process

The Management Education & Research Institute (MERI) offers admissions to its UG (BBA, BCA, B.Com Hons, BA-JMC) and PG (MBA, PGDM) programs through both online and offline application modes. Applicants must meet the course-specific academic eligibility, requiring a minimum of 50% aggregate marks in 10+2 for undergraduate programs and a Bachelor's degree for postgraduate programs. Admission to GGSIPU-affiliated courses is primarily driven by valid scores in national or university-level entrance tests such as IPU CET, CUET-UG, CAT, or CMAT. Final seat allotment and confirmation are processed through centralized GGSIPU counseling, evaluation of entrance scores, and verification of academic credentials.

Eligibility Criteria

  • Postgraduate Degrees (MBA / PGDM):

    • Academic Qualification: Bachelor’s degree in any discipline from a recognized university with at least 50% aggregate marks.

    • Accepted Entrance Exams:

      • MBA (GGSIPU): CAT, CMAT, or IPU CET (MBA).

      • PGDM (Autonomous): CAT, MAT, XAT, CMAT, ATMA, or GMAT.

  • Undergraduate Degrees (BBA, BCA, BA-JMC, B.Com Hons):

    • Academic Qualification: 10+2 / Senior Secondary Examination passed with a minimum of 50% aggregate marks with English as a subject. (BCA requires Mathematics or Computer Science background).

    • Accepted Entrance Exams: IPU CET or CUET-UG scores.

2. Selection Process & Evaluation

For GGSIPU Affiliated Programs (MBA, BBA, BCA, BA-JMC, B.Com Hons)

  • Step 1: Entrance Exam & Registration: Appear for the required national or university test (CAT/CMAT/IPU CET/CUET).

  • Step 2: Centralized Counseling: Register on the official GGSIPU online admission portal (ipu.admissions.nic.in) for counseling.

  • Step 3: Choice Filling: Select Management Education & Research Institute (Janakpuri) and your preferred stream/shift during the choice-filling rounds.

  • Step 4: Seat Allotment & Reporting: Seats are allocated across multiple counseling rounds based on rank/percentile. Accept the allotted seat, pay the partial academic fee, and report to the MERI campus for document verification.

For Autonomous PGDM Program

Selection does not depend on GGSIPU central counseling; instead, it follows a direct evaluation matrix:

  1. Entrance Exam Score: Shortlisting based on CAT/CMAT/XAT/MAT percentile.

  2. Group Discussion (GD) & Personal Interview (PI): Evaluates communication, domain knowledge, and managerial potential held at the MERI campus.

  3. Academic & Work History: Final selection combines test scores, GD/PI ratings, prior academic marks (10th/12th/Graduation), and relevant work experience.
