IBSAT 2013 kicked off from Monday, December 16, 2013. The test was conducted successfully across 95 centers all over India.

IBSAT, the gateway for admission to the 9 IBS B schools namely IBS Hyderabad, IBS Mumbai, IBS Bangalore, IBS Kolkata, IBS Ahmedabad, IBS Gurgaon, IBS Pune, IBS Dehradun and IBS Jaipur is an important online computer based MBA entrance test conducted across India by ICFAI Foundation during 22 days examination window beginning from December 16, 2013 to January 7, 2014.

According to a few students the paper was tough, with the Quantitative aptitude section being complex. However the Verbal ability and Data interpretation sections were found to be easier.

IBSAT 2013 Exam Pattern
IBSAT 2013 exam pattern is based on Computer Based Test (CBT) format. It includes 4 sections: Verbal ability, Reading Comprehension, Quantitative aptitude, Data Sufficiency & data interpretation.
