Welcome to the Education hub of India Daily Trends. Here you’ll find fresh stories about schools, colleges, exams, and policies that affect anyone learning or teaching in the country. We keep it short, clear, and useful—no fluff, just the facts you need.
Why Staying Updated Matters
Education moves fast. A new admission rule or a curriculum tweak can change your plans in a week. Knowing what’s happening helps students pick the right courses, teachers adjust lesson plans, and parents make informed choices. That’s why we bring you the latest headlines and break them down into bite‑size pieces.
Featured Story: IIT Bombay MBA Opens to All Three‑Year Degrees
One of the biggest changes this season comes from IIT Bombay’s School of Management and Entrepreneurship (SJMSOM). The school has stopped requiring an engineering background for its MBA program. Now, anyone with a three‑year bachelor’s degree—whether it’s arts, commerce, or science—can apply.
The eligibility details are simple: you need at least 60% marks (or a 6.5 CPI) in your bachelor’s degree. If you belong to SC, ST, or PwD categories, the bar drops to 55% (or a 6.0 CPI). A valid CAT score is still mandatory, and final‑year students are welcome to submit their applications.
Why does this matter? First, it broadens the talent pool. More diverse academic backgrounds bring fresh ideas to the business world. Second, it pushes gender and discipline diversity—something both IIT Bombay and other top institutes are keen on. Finally, it aligns SJMSOM with the admission style of IIMs and many other IITs that already accept non‑engineering graduates.
If you’re thinking about an MBA, this change gives you a new route. Check your CAT scores, calculate your CPI, and see if you meet the cut‑off. The deadline is approaching, so don’t wait.
Beyond IIT Bombay, we’ll keep an eye on similar moves across the country. More schools are likely to relax strict eligibility rules to attract varied talent. That means more options for you, whether you’re a fresh graduate or a working professional.
