JoSAA/CSAB Counseling Process
The admission process for KIMS MBA is managed through JoSAA or CSAB, depending on the category of the student. Candidates must first qualify in entrance exams like CAT, XAT, or GMAT and then participate in the counseling rounds.
- Candidates register for JoSAA/CSAB and fill preferences for various institutions and programs.
- Based on their rank, candidates are allocated seats in a merit-based process.
- The counseling includes document verification and seat acceptance procedures.
- Students who do not get a seat in the first round may participate in subsequent rounds of counseling if seats are available.
The process is highly competitive, especially for top-tier institutions like KIMS. Students must carefully select their preferences to maximize their chances of admission.
