Please note that this information has been consolidated from various sources (discussion with PGDBA aspirants and students; social media posts made by students/aspirants; RTIs filed over the years; and off course you should not forget that we have been there and done that and we are the only ones in the industry who can answer those questions.)

According to our sources, around 7,000 people applied for the PGDBA entrance exam 2019; however, only 4,500 took the test. This could be due to multiple factors such as students opting out of process (post CAT results declaration), rejection of application by PGDBA admission committee due to incomplete/incorrect information, among other reasons.
