The goal of the Admissions Board is to select students whose academic background, work experience, leadership abilities and communication skills meet the demands of the Program. The Admissions Board evaluates applicants' potential as future leaders and their projected ability to succeed in and profit from the program.

Enrollment

Applications received from the students are checked for the basic eligibility criteria and the eligible students are enrolled into the program as private candidates. The applications received from students awaiting final year results or those who do not have the certificates readily for submission, will also be processed and enrolled into the program. However, such students will have to submit the relevant certificates of the qualifications claimed in the application as soon as they are made available to such students.

Rejected Applications

If the applicants do not satisfy the eligibility criteria, the applications are returned to them along with all enclosures and the amount paid after deducting Rs.500. Such students are, however, permitted to apply again after they subsequently satisfy the eligibility criteria. The amount once paid is not refundable under any circumstances, except in the case of rejected applications.
