Telengana MBA Admission

• Updated on  Aug 16, 2025, by Anusmita Bhatta

Telangana MBA Admission is a state-level process of selecting students in the Master of Business Administration programme in universities and institutes located in the state of Telangana. It is a 2-year postgraduate business program, which provides the student with a broad knowledge in management principles, management leadership, management marketing, management finance, management human resources, and management operations that enable them to succeed in a dynamic and varied business world.

 

The admission is controlled centrally, usually by the Telangana State Council of Higher Education (TSCHE) or an admission authority. The participating institutes specify the national-level entrance tests that candidates must take, which include CAT, CMAT, MAT or the state-level Telangana State Integrated Common Entrance Test (TS ICET). The candidates are usually selected on the basis of a blend of entrance test marks, past academic performance, and in most cases, group discussions and personal interviews.
