01 OVERVIEW
What SRCC GBO actually is.
Background context, in two paragraphs. Skip ahead if you've already taken it before.
SRCC GBO is the entrance to the Post Graduate Diploma in Global Business Operations (PGDGBO) at Shri Ram College of Commerce, University of Delhi — a two-year programme focused on international business and trade. The exam exists for this one programme only.
With roughly 94 seats and a heavy applicant pool, it's among the most competitive non-IIM routes in the country. The written test carries 75% of the final weightage, with Group Discussion and Personal Interview making up the rest. The paper was trimmed from 160 to 100 questions, so accuracy now matters more than raw speed.
