Hi, For admission various universities and B schools have already issued their admission notification. You can search online, a few days back i came across the notification of UPES dehradoon which has announced its UPESMET test dates for the MBA admissions. Its MBA Supply chain program is quite popular and last year the placement was also quite good for this branch. For MBA Supply Chain other than UPES you can look for Symbiosis, LPU, Amity etc. but UPES definitely comes on the top among all of these. You can check the details on official website of these bschools. You should keep a tab on the websites of bschools you are targeting for your MBA to apply for their GD/PIs of the basis of your MAT,CAT, XAT scores or apply for their individual tests. Hope this info helps! Good luck :)
