Delhi School of Business Delhi

The Delhi School of Business Delhi accepts CAT, XAT, MAT, CMAT, ATMA, and GMAT scores for shortlisting and final admission for its PGP/MPM programmes. The college follows a holistic shortlisting process with a mix of test scores, prior academics, work experience, and diversity factors. The overall cutoff is typically released as a composite percentile rather than a single number and varies by category and programme. For the last three admission cycles, Delhi School of Business Delhi has shown a rising trend in CAT/XAT shortlisting due to increased applicant quality and new programme offerings, with CAT/XAT percentile requirements generally higher for General category and lower for reserved categories in line with policy. The school places emphasis on sectional cutoffs where available, particularly VARC, DILR, and QA components for CAT and the analogous sections for XAT. The 2025-2026 cycle is expected to see slightly higher overall cutoffs as demand remains strong and the institute expands its MBA offerings. Delhi School of Business Delhi has seen attrition in its intake size in some years but continues to attract a mix of fresh graduates and working professionals, reflecting the evolving market needs. The candidate should target a 99+ overall percentile for CAT and 90+ for XAT in the General category to be competitive, with sectional targets around VARC 85-90, DILR 80-85, and QA 85-90 for CAT. Within the reserved categories, candidates should expect moderate relaxation but still aim for at least the 85+ overall percentile in CAT for higher chances of shortlisting. This is indicative guidance aligned with the institute’s past trends and the competitive landscape, and the actual 2025-2026 cutoffs will be published by the college on its official portal after final approvals.
