IBSAT 2024 - Application Guidelines
Prior to filling the online application, please read the eligibility criterion given on the reverse of the voucher and also on the website
ibsindia.org and gather the information needed to complete the process:
Ensure you have a valid email address, telephone number and address before you apply. These should be valid throughout the admission process.
Keep the marks sheets of X, XII, Graduation and any other professional qualification ready for calculating percentage of marks.
The percentage obtained is to be calculated as per the practice followed by the Board/University/Institution from where you will be graduating.
If academic institutions offer grade point averages (GPA), they need to be converted into percentage score as per the conversion scheme of that institution. If an institution does not have a conversion scheme for GPA, the
equivalence has to be calculated by dividing obtained Cumulative GPA (CGPA) by the maximum possible CGPA and multiplying by 100.
