• The candidate must hold a Bachelor's Degree, with at least 50% marks (45% marks in case of candidates belonging to reserved category) or equivalent CGPA, awarded by any of the Universities incorporated by an act of the central or state legislature in India or other educational institutions established by an act of parliament or declared to be deemed as a University under Section 3 of the UGC Act, 1956, or possess an equivalent qualification recognized by the Ministry of HRD, Government of India. The percentage of marks obtained by the candidate in the bachelor's degree would be calculated based on the practice followed by the university/institution from where the candidate has obtained the degree. In case the candidates are awarded grades/CGPA instead of marks, the conversion of grades/CGPA to the percentage of marks would be based on the procedure certified by the university/institution from where they have obtained the bachelor's degree. In case the university/ institution does not have any scheme for converting CGPA into equivalent marks, the equivalence would be established by dividing the candidate’s CGPA by the maximum possible CGPA and multiplying the result by 100. 
• Candidates appearing for the final year of the bachelor's degree/equivalent qualification examination and those who have completed degree requirements and are awaiting results can also apply. Such candidates must produce a certificate from the Principal/Head of the Department/Registrar/ Director of the University/Institution certifying that the candidate is currently in the final year/is awaiting final results and has obtained at least 50% marks or equivalent based on latest available grades/marks.

Their admission will be confirmed only when they submit the mark sheet and a certificate of having passed the bachelor's degree/equivalent qualification referred to in the certificate issued by the Principal/Registrar of their college/institute with at least 50% marks (45% marks in case of candidates belonging to reserved category). The deadline for submission of the mark sheet and the certificate is October 31. Non-fulfillment of this condition will automatically result in the cancellation of the provisional admission. NIBM would not allow any candidate to join the program in case the candidate is unable to complete all the requirements for a bachelor's degree on or before June 30. Instances of any incorrect information and process violations detected at any stage of the selection process will lead to the disqualification of the candidate from the selection process.
