The Admissions office follows a well-defined process which profiles candidates on a number of parameters since empirical research on recruitment and selection shows the efficacy of multiple criteria.

We use multiple parameters, namely academic performance in school, high school and graduation as well as scores in CAT/GMAT to ascertain your suitability for the programme. The CAT/GMAT score is also used to establish the minimum level of proficiency that is expected as indicated by the section-wise minimum scores in the CAT/GMAT. Multiple criteria are used to arrive at a composite score, which is then used to select candidates for the subsequent stage.

The admissions process includes a personal interview, conducted through remote video conferencing for international students, and an assessment of writing ability. 

There are two channels for admissions to the programme: one for domestic candidates and the other for international candidates. The admission requirements and application processes for each channel are different.

Domestic Admissions are based on the applications received through the Common Admission Test (CAT) conducted by the Indian Institutes of Management (IIMs) in November every year at various centres in India. Domestic candidates are Indian nationals or foreigners normally resident in India who are in a position to take the CAT. Shortlisted candidates attend a written test and personal interview, and provide two letters of reference from persons who know them closely in terms of their academic/professional performance. The final selection is based on the CAT performance, scholastic achievement, performance in the Writing Ability Test, and interview
