IBSAT case studies
IBSAT · Put your knowledge to work in context.
IBSAT (the IBS Aptitude Test) is the entrance route used by ICFAI Business School for admission to its MBA and PGPM programs across the IBS campus network. The official site describes admissions to 9 IBS campuses for MBA/PGPM 2027-29 through a single IBS application, and lists IBSAT 2026 with 8 test dates in December 2026, with Dec 5th & 6th shown as test dates and 1st December 2026 as the application last date. IBS also states that admissions are open to all qualified CAT/NMAT by GMAC, XAT and GMAT score applicants, so a candidate holding one of those scores can apply through the same single application rather than treating IBSAT as the only door. The test is multiple choice and, as candidates commonly encounter it, is built around four areas: Verbal Ability, Reading Comprehension, Quantitative Aptitude, and Data Adequacy & Data Interpretation. The IBSAT case studies are 5 cases and about 2,139 words.
