One application can become the beginning of a new academic journey, a professional career, and a merit scholarship opportunity. Students planning to pursue management, commerce, technology or the humanities can soon apply for the 2027–28 academic session.
Applications will open for the MBA, undergraduate and five-year Integrated UG + MBA programmes. Graduates and Class 12 students should begin exploring programme options, organising documents and preparing for the IIBSAT 2026 admission-cum-merit scholarship test.
IIBSAT 2026 Admission cum Merit Scholarship Test
IIBSAT, the IIBS Autonomous Test, is conducted for admission and merit scholarship consideration. It evaluates applicants across areas such as academic aptitude, logical reasoning, communication ability, and general awareness.
The last date to submit the IIBSAT 2026 application is 30 November 2026. The examination is scheduled for the first or second week of December 2026. The exact examination date and instructions will be announced through the official admission channels.
A student’s IIBSAT performance may be considered for admission and merit scholarships, subject to programme eligibility and institutional selection criteria. Applicants should register early and begin preparing for the examination.
MBA Programme for Emerging Business Leaders
The two-year MBA programme helps graduates develop business knowledge, analytical ability and leadership skills. Students can explore specialisations such as Marketing, Finance, Human Resource Management, Business Analytics, Production and Operations Management, Entrepreneurship and Startups, and Logistics and Supply Chain Management.
Case studies, live projects, presentations, business simulations and corporate interactions help students understand how management concepts are applied in real organisations.
Undergraduate Programmes for Future-Focused Careers
Students completing Class 12 can choose from BBA, BCA, B.Com and BA programmes.
BBA develops a foundation in management, marketing, finance and entrepreneurship. BCA focuses on computing and emerging areas such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, data science, cloud computing and cybersecurity. B.Com prepares students for opportunities in accounting, taxation, banking and finance, while BA strengthens communication, critical thinking and understanding of social and economic systems.
Students should select a programme that matches their academic interests, strengths and long-term career plans.
Five-Year Integrated UG + MBA Programme
The five-year Integrated UG + MBA programme is designed for students who want to begin management education directly after Class 12. It combines an undergraduate degree—BBA, BCA, B.Com or BA—with an MBA through a continuous academic pathway.
Students first develop knowledge in their chosen undergraduate discipline before progressing to advanced management subjects, leadership development, and business specialisations. The integrated structure removes the need to begin a separate MBA admission process after graduation.
IIBS Bangalore offers the Integrated UG + MBA programme with an affordable fee structure. Practical projects, internships, certifications and continuous career preparation add value to the complete five-year learning journey. The official fee structure, instalment options and scholarship conditions for 2027–28 will be announced with the admission notification.
Practical Learning and Global Exposure
Professional success requires the ability to apply knowledge with confidence. IIBS Bangalore supports experiential learning through internships, live projects, industrial visits, case studies, workshops, corporate sessions and student-led activities.
These experiences help students strengthen communication, teamwork, problem-solving, decision-making, and presentation skills. International exposure introduces learners to different business environments, professional cultures and global market practices. Value-added certifications further connect academic knowledge with current industry requirements.
Recognised Academic Foundation
IIBS Bangalore holds UGC Autonomous status and is accredited with an ‘A’ Grade by NAAC. Its MBA and undergraduate programmes are affiliated with Dr. Manmohan Singh Bengaluru City University.
These credentials provide a recognised academic foundation, while practical learning and skill development support professional readiness. View IIBS accreditations and approvals.
Prepare Before Applications Open
Applicants should organise their academic mark sheets, identity proof, photographs and other required documents in advance. MBA aspirants should keep their graduation and entrance-examination details ready, while undergraduate applicants should prepare their Class 10 and Class 12 records.
Students should also review programme eligibility, specialisations, fees, scholarships and career opportunities before submitting an application. Early preparation reduces errors and provides sufficient time to prepare for IIBSAT and the selection process.
