About Holy Grace Academy of Management Studies
How does a business school in a semi-urban pocket of Thrissur connect its students to global corporate networks? Holy Grace Academy of Management Studies addresses this by running an intensive residency-style MBA program that aligns its elective tracks with Kerala's dominant banking and financial services sectors. The campus operates away from metropolitan noise, forcing a tight-knit, boardroom-style learning environment where students manage simulated portfolio investments.

How to Apply
Admission depends on a composite score calculated from national or state management entrance exams (KMAT, CMAT, or CAT), followed by performance in group discussions and personal interviews. The institution compiles a merit list based on these weighted parameters and publishes a strict cutoff index on its official portal.
Candidates who meet or exceed the cutoff must submit their original academic transcripts and entrance scorecard at the Mala campus for physical verification. Once the documents are validated, the final step involves paying the first-semester tuition fee within the designated deadline to lock in the admission.
