All these four programmes are approved by the regulatory authority AICTE. The PGDM & PGDM (International Business) are accredited by the highest national accreditation body, National Board of Accreditation (NBA). They are also approved by Association of Indian Universities (AIU) for MBA equivalence. For PGDM (Insurance Business Management) & PGDM (Retail Management) programmes, MBA equivalence application is under process.
PGDM(IBM) programme is accredited by globally recognized Chartered Insurance Institute of UK (CII-UK). BIMTECH has a dual degree programme in association with CII-UK.
BIMTECH is also in the process of getting accreditation from AACSB (USA) – an internationally renowned gold standard accreditation agency.

MBA & PGDM are both Post Graduate programmes in Management.  In India, only universities, be it central/state/or private, are authorized to conduct MBA programmes. The autonomous institutions approved by AICTE offer PGDM. From the point of employability, there is no differentiation. PGDM programmes are normally found much more flexible and hence close to the industry/recruiter’s need. It may be noted that even IIMs offer PGDM programme only.

BIMTECH has got two broad categories for admission. 90 percent seats in all programmes are filled through merit category. For the candidates under merit category, valid score in CAT/XAT/GMAT/CMAT/MAT and good performance in further selection stage is must. Rest 10 percent seats are open for Corporate/NRI sponsored & NRI candidates. For these candidates, valid score in CAT/XAT/GMAT/CMAT/MAT is not a mandatory condition. However they have to go for other selection process and compete among their peer group. They also need to download the specified format from website appropriately, fill it up, get it signed and submit to the Institute with other documents as mentioned on our website http://bimtech.ac.in/admissions/selection-criteria/.

As such there is no reservation for any section of the candidates. However for achieving the goal of social inclusion and diversity, the candidates from SC/ST/Minorities and physically challenged categories are given some additional weightage in calculation of the merit score.

 

The cut-off is not pre-defined. It depends upon the quality & number of applications received  and  varies from year to year for different programmes.

Moreover, score of CAT/XAT/GMAT/CMAT/MAT is not the sole criteria for admission. The admission is based on the overall merit score which is calculated on the basis of multiple inputs/factors. Candidates are shortlisted on the basis of CAT/XAT/GMAT/CMAT/MAT score for further selection process of written aptitude and personal interview round.

The merit list for admission is prepared on the basis of past academic profile, CAT/XAT/GMAT/CMAT/MAT score as applicable for different programmes and the performance in selection process. Some additional weightage is also given to the eligible candidates on the basis of their work experience & social profile to bring diversity and inclusiveness in the selection process. The proposed break-up of different weightages for 2017 admission cycle is as follows :

S.NO.	SELECTION CRITERIA	WEIGHTAGES 2017 (MERIT/INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS CATEGORY)	WEIGHTAGES 2017 (OTHER CATEGORIES)
1	Personal Interview	30%	40%
2	Write Up	10%	20%
3	CAT/XAT/GMAT/CMAT/MAT percentile	30%	NA
4	Past Academic Performance (10 th ,12 th , Graduation)	5%	10%
5	*Work Experience	10%	15%
6	** Regional-Eastern States(seven sisters), Southern States (Kerala, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Puducherry) and State of Jammu & Kashmir	5%	5%
7	#SC/ST/Minorities/DA	5%	5%
8	#Gender (Female Candidates Only)	5%	5%

* Weightage for work experience would ideally be given to a candidate only if he/she had worked in executive or supervisory role for a minimum period of one year as on 01/09/2016, in a registered company having turnover of Rs. 50 crores or more in the preceding financial year i.e. 2015-16. However, management reserves the right to relax this particular norm on the merit of the case, if the candidate is from a start-up, entrepreneurial or social organization.

**  For getting regional weightage, submission of valid  proof of residence is must.

# Management reserves the right to make minor changes to address diversity on gender and social parameters.
