Admissions to IBA Programs are granted to the applicants through a rigorous screening process. The process of admission consists of several tests. A student appears in the next test only if he or she has passed the previous one. The process starts with the applicants appearing in a written aptitude test conducted by IBA and administered after the announcements of admissions. The test measures the students aptitude in verbal, quantitative, general knowledge, and analytical areas.

Candidates successful in the aptitude test, are evaluated in an interview by a panel consisting of several faculty members. Those who pass the interview, participate in a group discussion where their confidence, leadership, group behavior, depth of their arguments and presentation skills, are tested. For certain programs, this is followed by an achievement motivation test as a final check of their suitability for studies at IBA. Merit is the only criteria for passing any of these tests.

The process is completely transparent and candidates or their parents can check the answer sheets of the written tests to verify their performance. The process of admission typically completes within fifteen days after the aptitude test.
