Application Process for PMBA Evening Cohort, PMBA Flex and PMBA Online
The Professional Evening Cohort MBA program starts a new class each fall. The Professional Flex MBA and Professional Online MBA program can be started in the fall, spring, or summer semesters.
Applicants for the Professional MBA programs must complete the following application requirements to be considered for admission into the degree program. Incomplete files will not be reviewed. Please note applicants for the MS/MBA program apply following MS program admission requirements. Students interested in combining the Professional Evening MBA Cohort program with an MS degree will not apply to the MS program until they are already admitted to the MBA program.

3. Entrance Exam
To ensure candidates are able to demonstrate their academic preparedness for the program, the admissions process requires candidates to submit official GMAT, GMAT Focus or GRE score results. GMAT/ GRE scores should be no more than five years old. The Naveen Jindal School of Management prefers the GMAT admission test; however, we accept the GRE test as well. Our GRE school code is R6897. GMAT codes can be found here. If official test scores are received at the university by the testing agency, the scores will be considered as part of the admission decision.
