Globsyn Business School (GBS)
Last updated 25 August 2026 · Reviewed by Piyush Agarwal · Latest change: Initial sourced profile published from the official PGDM admission, programme and placement pages opened on globsyn.edu.in today; the programme fee is not published on the site and is therefore carried as an unverified fact with the official fallback
The short answer
As of August 2026, Globsyn Business School's AICTE-approved two-year PGDM accepts CAT, MAT, XAT, CMAT or ATMA scores, then its own 60-minute Globsyn Aptitude Test and interview — a composite of 100 marks with selection at 50. Placement 2025 published an average CTC of Rs 6.85 lakh; fees are not published online.
Selection process
- Hold a score in at least one national-level test — CAT, MAT, XAT, CMAT or ATMA — as per AICTE norms.
- Apply online on the Globsyn admissions portal (or at the campus admissions office): register, verify email, fill the form, pay the application fee, submit.
- Sit the Globsyn Aptitude Test (GAT): a 60-minute test of verbal and quantitative ability and general awareness, with a ten-minute essay and a short video profile.
- Attend the Personal Interview conducted as part of the admissions process.
- Final selection is a 100-mark composite of the public-exam score and interview performance; candidates scoring 50 marks or more in aggregate are selected.

Is there a management quota here?
No management quota, capitation seat or donation route is published anywhere on Globsyn's official pages. Admission runs only through the published composite — a national entrance score, the institute's own aptitude test and an interview, with a 50-mark selection bar. The institute itself points applicants to AICTE's eligibility, admission and refund policies before applying. Anyone offering a Globsyn seat outside that process should be verified with the admissions office directly.
Globsyn Business School — the AICTE-approved PGDM campus on Diamond Harbour Road — is the Kolkata option built for the aspirant this site exists for: the student whose CAT score will not clear the IIM bar but who still wants a structured, verifiable admission process. Five national exams are accepted, the institute runs its own aptitude test and interview on top, and the selection bar is published in marks, not whispers.
How does admission actually run?
A published three-step composite. First, a score in any one of CAT, MAT, XAT, CMAT or ATMA. Second, the Globsyn Aptitude Test — 60 minutes of verbal, quantitative and general-awareness questions, a ten-minute essay and a short video profile. Third, a Personal Interview. The composite is 100 marks across the public-exam score and the interview, and selection happens at 50 marks and above. Eligibility is 50% in graduation under AICTE norms, with final-year candidates given until the AICTE deadline to prove it.
What is published — and what is not
The placement page is genuinely informative: Placement 2025 brought the 2023-25 batch 1,000+ opportunities from 100+ corporates at an average CTC of Rs 6.85 lakh and a highest of Rs 16.42 lakh, with a sector split led by consulting and professional services. What the site does not publish is the programme fee — so neither do we. Ask the admissions office for the current fee in writing, and read the AICTE refund policy the institute itself links before paying. That gap is exactly the kind of fact our sourced-fact rule exists for: no number is better than an invented one.
Where does Globsyn fit in the city?
In the own-process private layer, below IMI Kolkata on accreditation (IMI-K carries NBA and AMBA) but with the widest exam menu in the city — a real consideration if your best score is MAT, CMAT or ATMA rather than CAT. On outcomes, its published average of Rs 6.85 lakh sits just under IISWBM’s Rs 7.7 lakh — against which IISWBM’s Rs 8.3 lakh total fee and university degree are the obvious counterweights. The full comparison is in our Kolkata guide.
How Udaan helps with Globsyn
We verify the current fee and admission calendar with the institute on your behalf, prepare you for the GAT-plus-interview composite rather than just the entrance exam, and keep the rest of your Kolkata shortlist honest alongside it. Applications stay on Globsyn’s own portal — if anyone offers you a seat through us or any consultant, ask for the institute’s written confirmation first.

Questions, answered
- Which exams does Globsyn accept for the PGDM?
- Any one of CAT, MAT, XAT, CMAT or ATMA, per the official admission page. That makes Globsyn one of the widest exam nets among Kolkata's PGDM schools — useful if CAT did not go well but MAT, CMAT or ATMA did.
- What is the Globsyn PGDM fee?
- The institute does not publish its fee on the website as of 25 August 2026, and we do not quote aggregator figures. Ask the GBS admissions office for the current written fee structure during the application process, and read AICTE's refund policy — which the institute itself points applicants to — before paying anything.
- Is there a management quota at Globsyn?
- Nothing of the kind is published. The only published route is the 100-mark composite: national entrance score, the 60-minute Globsyn Aptitude Test plus essay and video profile, and a Personal Interview, with selection at 50 marks and above. Treat any 'direct seat' offer as unverified until the admissions office confirms it in writing.
- What were Globsyn's latest published placement figures?
- For Placement 2025 (batch 2023-25), per the official placement page: 1,000+ job opportunities from 100+ corporates, average CTC Rs 6.85 lakh, and a highest CTC of Rs 16.42 lakh. The same page breaks the offers down by sector, led by Consulting & Professional Services at 28.74%.
- What is the Globsyn Aptitude Test?
- The GAT is Globsyn's own 60-minute preliminary test covering verbal ability, quantitative ability and general awareness, plus a ten-minute essay on a given topic and a short video profile. It sits between your national entrance score and the Personal Interview in the selection composite.
- Can final-year students apply to Globsyn?
- Yes. Candidates appearing for their final-year bachelor's examination are eligible to apply; they must submit proof of graduation with the minimum 50% aggregate to the GBS Academic Programs Office by the deadline AICTE specifies for that academic year.
