Primary answer
To be eligible for MBA programs in Karnataka, candidates must hold a bachelor's degree in any discipline from a recognized university with a minimum aggregate of 50% (45% for SC/ST/OBC categories as per state norms). Final-year undergraduate students can also apply provisionally. Additionally, most top colleges require a valid score in national/state-level entrance exams like CAT, MAT, XAT, CMAT, ATMA, or Karnataka PGCET. Some private institutions may offer direct admission based on academic merit or internal tests, but AICTE/UGC-affiliated colleges generally adhere to standardized eligibility norms.
