MBA Admission: A Clear Path to Your Next Step

Selection Process
The MBA selection process is designed to go beyond academic merit and assess a candidate's self-awareness, communication, professional readiness, and fitment into the MBA ecosystem.
The process includes the following stages:
Step 1: Application Form Submission
Applicants must fill out a detailed online application form capturing personal, academic, and professional details. The form is reviewed to determine eligibility and completeness.
Step 2: AI-Based Interview
This interview serves as an elimination round. An automated video interview using AI tools will assess behavioral traits, emotional intelligence, and cognitive reasoning. The AI will generate a candidate profile for further review.
Step 3: SWOC Presentation by the Applicant
Applicants are required to submit a 3–5-minute video or give a live 3-5-minute self-assessment presentation explaining their personal SWOC (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Challenges). This stage assesses their self-awareness, confidence, and communication skills.
Step 4: Final Panel Interview
A personal interview will be conducted by industry leaders, alumni in senior roles, or recruiters. The panel will evaluate the candidate's industry readiness, leadership potential, and cultural fit for the institution.
Step 5: Issue of Offer Letter
On completion of Selection Rounds, selected aspirants would receive Offer letters, notifying the admission Status.
Presentations and/or Personal Interview will take place on a single day at various locations with 2-3 panel members (Faculty + Alumni + Any industry expert from those locations).
