Weschool PGDM Admission Process and Eligibility

Phase 1 allows for early calls, known as Profile-Based Calls, for candidates who have secured 60% or above in their academics. Shortlisting for WeSchool is based on academic background, entrance exam scores, and overall profile. Accepted entrance exams for WeSchool include CAT, XAT, CMAT, ATMA, and GMAT. Shortlisted candidates then participate in Group Discussion (GD) and Personal Interview (PI) rounds.

For eligibility, candidates must hold a Bachelor’s degree with at least 50% marks from a recognised university. Final-year students are also eligible to apply, provided they meet the criteria at the time of admission. Work experience is not mandatory but can be an added advantage. The Bengaluru campus offers AICTE-approved two-year full-time PGDM programs across eight specialisations, with a total intake capacity of 600 seats. The total program fee for the PGDM course at Welingkar Bangalore is approximately INR 14.08 lakhs. WeSchool also offers merit-based and need-based scholarships, such as the Dr. G. SunJewels Scholarship and Dr. Rinti Banerjee Scholarship.
