Last updated 18 September 2026 · Reviewed by Piyush Agarwal · Latest change: Initial sourced profile published from the official VITBS page (fee table, scholarship grid, eligibility, important dates) and the university programmes-offered page, both opened today; the 2026 admission cycle shown is complete — the page's calendar is reproduced as the printed pattern for the next cycle
The short answer
As of 18 September 2026, VIT Business School admits its two-year MBA through VITBEE 2026 or a valid CAT, XAT or MAT score on a 60% academic bar, followed by a personal interview. The official page prints tuition at Rs 3,48,500 per annum with a Rs 3,000 caution deposit, and waivers from 50% to 100% tied to printed score bands.
Selection process
- Qualify: 60% or First Class across Class 10, Class 12/Diploma and the undergraduate degree; final-year candidates eligible if results arrive by 14 August 2026. SC/ST and J&K/Ladakh/NE candidates get a printed 10% relaxation.
- Test: appear for VITBEE 2026 (VIT's own entrance) or submit a valid CAT/XAT/MAT scorecard — the printed routes. (VIT-AP's MBA page separately lists NMAT among its accepted tests for that campus.)
- Interview: shortlisted candidates face a personal interview (2026: shortlist 7 May, interviews 9-10 May, allotment 15 May).
- Pay: Rs 1,00,000 advance fee by the printed deadline, balance by the second deadline (2026: 27 May and 3 June); classes commenced 4 July 2026.

Is there a management quota here?
VIT Business School prints one admission machine: a valid VITBEE, CAT, XAT or MAT score, a 60% academic bar and a personal interview. The page publishes no management-quota, NRI or institute-level seat share for the MBA. What it does publish is a scholarship grid tied to printed score bands — up to a full tuition waiver at CAT/XAT 95 percentile or MAT 791-800 — which is the opposite of a paid seat: a discount earned by the score itself.
VIT is one of India’s best-known private university brands, and its business school is one of the few in this tier that prints the whole machine on one page: the exams, the bar, the fee, the waivers and the calendar. This profile records that page as opened today.
How does the selection machine actually run?
Two printed doors: VITBEE 2026, VIT’s own entrance, or a valid CAT, XAT or MAT scorecard — then a personal interview for shortlisted candidates. The academic bar is 60% or First Class across Class 10, Class 12 and the undergraduate degree, with a printed 10% relaxation for SC/ST candidates and those from Jammu & Kashmir, Ladakh and the North-East. The 2026 calendar shows the rhythm: applications to 12 April, VITBEE 3 May, interviews 9-10 May, allotment 15 May, classes 4 July. One application covers the four campuses (Vellore, Chennai, VIT-AP, VIT Bhopal). Our MAT route guide and percentile-band comparison place this door among the others that accept moderate scores honestly.
What does it cost, and what does it return?
Rs 3,48,500 per annum in tuition, printed with a Rs 3,000 refundable caution deposit and a Rs 5,500 second-year alumni/mark-sheet charge — roughly Rs 7 lakh across the degree. The remarkable part is the waiver grid: a CAT or XAT percentile of 95-plus, or a MAT score of 791-800, earns a full tuition waiver; 90-94.99 (or MAT 760-790) earns 50%. That is a published discount tied to the score itself — the inverse of a quota premium. Refunds follow UGC norms. The page’s placement content is thin on salary specifics (an institute-level “Highest CTC Rs 1 Cr” banner belongs to VIT-wide engineering outcomes), so we print no MBA salary figure rather than borrow one.
Where does VITBS sit in a shortlist?
As the printed-fee, multi-exam floor of the private-university MBA: lower in published cost than the autonomous PGDM cluster, more transparent than most of its price tier, and reachable without CAT through VITBEE or MAT. If your score is moderate, the honest comparison is between VITBS’s waiver grid and the fixed-fee deemed universities — the budget-band page and without-CAT map carry the full field.
How Udaan helps with VITBS
By checking every quoted number against the page that printed it — fee, deadlines, waivers — and by treating the absence of an MBA-specific salary table as a question to put to the admissions office in writing before money moves, not a gap for an agent to fill.

Questions, answered
- What is the VIT MBA fee?
- Rs 3,48,500 per annum in tuition at VIT Business School, printed on the official page — about Rs 7 lakh across two years, among the clearer published totals in this tier. The first year bills Rs 3,51,500 with the Rs 3,000 refundable caution deposit, and the second year adds a Rs 5,500 alumni and mark-sheet fee.
- Does VIT accept CAT for the MBA?
- Yes — CAT, XAT and MAT scorecards are all printed alternatives to VIT's own VITBEE entrance. A candidate who missed CAT entirely can sit VITBEE; a candidate with a moderate MAT score can use it directly. The score also drives the waiver grid: CAT/XAT 95-plus or MAT 791-800 earns a full tuition waiver.
- Is there a management quota in VIT for MBA?
- Nothing of the kind is published. The printed process is a test score plus interview on a 60% bar, and the only money-sensitivity on the page runs the honest direction — score-based tuition waivers from 50% to 100%. A 'paid seat' offer at VITBS contradicts the published process the way it would anywhere.
- What percentile do I need for the VIT MBA?
- VITBS publishes no cut-off percentile for admission; the bars it does print are scholarship bars (CAT/XAT 90 and 95, MAT 760 and 791). Selection runs on the complete file — score, academics and interview. For schools that do publish admission bars, our percentile-band comparison lists only officially printed numbers.
- Which VIT campus should I choose for the MBA?
- The MBA runs at Vellore, Chennai, VIT-AP and VIT Bhopal under one application and one printed fee table at the Vellore page's cycle. VIT-AP's own page adds NMAT to its accepted list. Choose on campus placement evidence and location; ask each campus's admissions office for its own placement report before deciding.
- How does VITBS compare on cost?
- At about Rs 7 lakh all-in tuition it sits in the sub-Rs-10-lakh band of our budget comparison — below the autonomous PGDM cluster (Rs 13-16 lakh typical) and far below the premium tier. With a 95-plus CAT/XAT percentile the tuition can fall to zero, which makes it one of the strongest printed waiver offers relative to fee size.
