Basic Eligibility

How Eligibility Actually Differs by University

"45%–50%, varies by university" is the honest headline figure, but what it actually means in practice differs more than most guides let on. Here's exactly what four of our partner universities state on their own official eligibility criteria for the Online MBA:

UniversityMinimum MarksNotable Detail
Manipal University Jaipur50% general / 45% reserved categoryWork experience not mandatory
NMIMS (SVKM)50% general / 45% reserved categoryExplicitly welcomes both fresh graduates and working professionals
Sikkim Manipal University50% general / 45% reserved categoryForeign qualification holders must submit an equivalence certificate
Amity University OnlineNo minimum percentage statedOpen to any discipline, degree from a recognised university

The practical takeaway: if your graduation percentage sits right around the 45–50% line, this is not a detail to guess on — check the specific university's stated policy (or ask your Phoenix counsellor to check for you) before assuming you're eligible or ineligible.

Can I Enroll Without a Degree?

No — a bachelor's degree is the minimum for any MBA in India. Final-year students may get provisional admission — final marksheet must be submitted before the semester begins.

Executive MBA — Special Cases

Executive MBA programs accept professionals with 3–5 years of work experience even if graduation percentage is below the standard cutoff. Designed specifically for senior working professionals.
