TU Semester-End Examination (60% / 60 Marks): A formal 3-hour written board exam conducted by the Office of the Dean, FOM. It heavily tests problem-solving capabilities, critical analysis, and situational case studies.
Eligibility Note: To apply for the MBS program at any TU constituent or affiliated campus, you must hold a Bachelor’s degree (BBS or any other discipline) from TU or a recognized university, and pass the centralized CMAT (Central Management Admission Test) examination.
