Hi Sayantan,

For both the cases you have to appear for OPENMAT exam.

For case 1: Since you are pursuing PGD in finance management your eligible for the option of credit transfer to MBA if you are a direct entry student for PGD that is without OPENMAT.

So if you qualify OPENMAT subsequently after taking admission to specialisation PGD then you would be provided credit transfer for completed courses.

Case 2: If you appear after the completion of PGD then your score will be valid for one year i.e. if you qualify for admission in July 2020 OPENMAT, then you may take admission in any of the following two semesters.
