QUESTION- 10 What is the early round of interview ? How is it helpful to the candidates ?

It is a reality that post declaration of CAT/XAT result, all the top ranked B Schools start inviting candidates for further selection process. Many a times these schedules clash with each other and candidates suffer. To avoid possible overlapping of selection process with other Business Schools, as in last year, we propose to have an early round of selection process in the month of December 2016 itself on six locations. The candidates would be invited for the early round process based on their profile as judged from their :

• Consistency and good past academic performance.• Relevant work experience (if any) that brings value to the class room learning.

This early stage selection process provides a candidate an opportunity to appear for the process with relative ease.

Candidates need to update their entrance test percentiles (CAT/XAT/GMAT/CMAT/MAT) in the online application form after the same are declared for preparation of final selection list based on merit.

The second round would be conducted tentatively in third week of February 2017 pan India at 15 locations.
