SRCC GBO 2026 Entrance Registration
Similarly, the Shri Ram College of Commerce (SRCC) is concluding the registration for its Post Graduate Diploma in Global Business Operations. Unlike other institutes that rely on national exams, SRCC conducts its own entrance test, which is scheduled for late February. The GBO program is famous for its affordable fee structure and prestigious "SRCC" brand name, making today’s Application Deadline one of the most monitored dates in the management calendar.
- Ensure all academic documents are uploaded in the correct format before the midnight cutoff.
- Double-check category certificates (OBC/EWS/SC/ST) as per the latest 2026 guidelines.
- Prepare for the entrance exam focusing on English, Quant, and Logical Reasoning.
Strategic Importance of the Jan 31 Deadline
Missing today's deadline means aspirants will have to wait another year or look for lower-tier colleges. Many candidates use BIMTECH and SRCC as "Safety" or "Target" colleges due to their consistent placement records. Experts at MBA Universe suggest that the number of applicants this year has increased by 15% compared to 2025, indicating a highly competitive selection ratio for the 2026-28 batch.
- Complete the online submission at least 3 hours before midnight to avoid server lag.
- Save a PDF copy of the confirmation page and the payment receipt.
- Keep an eye on your registered email for interview slot invitations starting next week.
