Eligibility and Selection for PGDM and PGPM Programs

For the PGDM program, freshers are eligible to apply. Applicants must possess a bachelor’s degree from a recognised university with a minimum of 50% marks or an equivalent CGPA. The selection process for PGDM is based on a combination of the applicant’s profile, entrance exam scores (CAT or GMAT), and performance in the interview stages.

Applicants for PGPM must hold a bachelor’s degree with a minimum of 50% marks and have at least three years of full-time work experience by the program’s commencement. Women applying under the Restart initiative for PGPM must have a minimum of two years of career break and three years of prior full-time work experience. PGPM applicants are also required to submit a valid GMAT or CAT score. The selection process for PGPM considers academic record, relevance of work experience, and versatility and achievements.
