Shanti Business School sets its 2025 cutoff for PGDM admissions at 50% aggregate marks in graduation for general candidates, relaxing to 45% for SC/ST/OBC categories, without mandating fixed percentiles in entrance exams like CAT, MAT, XAT, ATMA, or CMAT.

This approach allows candidates with strong overall profiles to secure spots, even if exam scores are moderate, as the institute prioritizes potential over rigid thresholds. For 2026 aspirants, focus on valid 2025 exam results and prepare for GD/PI rounds starting April 2026, with applications opening October 2025.
