Eligibility Criteria

You need to have a Bachelor’s degree or equivalent in any discipline, a valid GMAT/GRE score and at least 24 months of full-time work experience by March 31, 2019. Candidates whose language of instruction at the undergraduate study level was not English need to present TOEFL/IELTS/PTE score.

Selection Process

Your academic credentials will be evaluated to assess your ability to cope with the rigour of the program. Past academic performance and the GMAT/GRE exam scores will be taken into consideration along with the 12th standard grades, graduation grades, post graduation and certification scores. However, no “cut off” criteria are applied to either the academic credentials or the GMAT/GRE score.

The second evaluation is on leadership qualities, on the basis of the impact you have made in professional and personal life. This aspect is assessed through the initiatives that the applicant may have taken, the responsibilities handled and the career progression achieved till date. The one professional evaluation (i.e. recommendation) which forms an important part of the application also helps in gauging the leadership potential of the applicant in a professional setting.

The third assessment is of personal attributes. The admission committee looks for versatile and well-rounded individuals who can contribute to the society in positive and meaningful ways. People who can bring different perspectives to the class and appreciate different point of views also fit the bill.

Your extracurricular activities and interests beyond your work life also provide an insight on your personal qualities. The School also encourages applicants from diverse backgrounds to become part of the cohort. Diversity in all form of life, like work experience, educational background, nationality, among others is given due consideration.
