Welingkar WeSchool PGDM admission 2027-29 opens: apply at pgdm2027-29.welingkar.org

Prin L N Welingkar Institute of Management Development and Research (WeSchool) has announced the opening of admissions for its Post Graduate Diploma in Management (PGDM) programmes for the 2027-29 academic batch. Prospective candidates can register online through the official admission portal, pgdm2027-29.welingkar.org, as of 29 October 2026.

This admission cycle covers full-time PGDM programmes offered at both the Mumbai and Bengaluru campuses of WeSchool. The institute is an AICTE-approved and NBA-accredited standalone management institute, also granted autonomous status by the UGC and permanently affiliated with the University of Mumbai for its relevant degree framework.

Eligibility and Application Process

To be eligible for the 2027-29 PGDM batch, candidates must hold a bachelor’s degree with a minimum of 50 percent aggregate marks. Final-year students are also permitted to apply, provided they complete their graduation before the commencement of the programme. A valid scorecard from a national-level entrance examination is a mandatory requirement for the application.

WeSchool accepts scores from five national-level entrance tests for the 2027-29 batch: CAT 2026, XAT 2027, ATMA February 2027, CMAT 2027, and GMAT (scores from 2023 onwards). The current application window represents Phase II of the admission cycle. The application fee is Rs 3,000, which is non-refundable and covers the full application process for the chosen programme. Candidates can pay this fee through net banking, debit card, credit card, or UPI.

The selection process for Phase II involves shortlisting based solely on the entrance exam cutoff. Shortlisted candidates will then proceed to the Group Activity and Personal Interview (GAPI) round, which is conducted at both the Mumbai and Bengaluru campuses. The CAT 2026 result is anticipated in the third week of December 2026, following which WeSchool is expected to release its programme-wise cutoffs for the 2027-29 batch.

The selection component weightage for admission is structured as follows:

Admission Route and Verification

WeSchool manages its Mumbai PGDM admissions through an institute-specific application and selection process, which is distinct from its Master of Management Studies (MMS) programme that follows the Maharashtra state admission framework. Applicants for the PGDM programmes are advised to visit the official portal pgdm2027-29.welingkar.org and thoroughly review the admission brochure.

It is important for candidates to confirm their eligibility against the 50 percent graduation cutoff and ensure they have a valid scorecard from one of the accepted entrance examinations. Necessary documents, including scanned copies of academic certificates and photo ID proof, should be prepared in advance. The application form must be completed and submitted, along with the Rs 3,000 fee, well before any specified deadlines.
