GIBS Business School in Bangalore accepts XAT (Xavier Aptitude Test) scores for admission to its PGDM program, which is equivalent to an MBA. While there is no fixed cutoff for XAT scores at GIBS, generally, a XAT score of around 60-70 percentile or higher is considered competitive for securing admission.However, GIBS evaluates candidates based on a combination of factors, including XAT score, academic performance, work experience (if any), and performance in the Group Discussion (GD) and Personal Interview (PI) rounds. A higher XAT score can improve your chances, but GIBS places equal importance on your overall profile, including your personality, communication skills, and leadership potential. It's always a good idea to aim for a strong XAT score, but also focus on preparing well for the GD and PI rounds to increase your chances of admission.
