Dear Prospective Student,
Welingkar introduces a broad based selection system for its PGDBA / PGPe-Biz
programs.100% reservation for pure talent!!!
As a premier B-School, We focus on selecting great talent that shows
potential. And the question we ask while we do so is: what is your
potential to be a manager - not how much you have scored in your written
test!
A completely new selection system
Considering the above, we are introducing a completely new selection system.
A broad based selection system which focuses on strong academic record, an
innovative mindset, leadership abilities, and a quest for excellence. We
accept students based on a comprehensive review of their application and
written test scores instead of minimum performance standards. The focus of
this selection is on:
§ Academic Potential
§ Personality Traits
§ Leadership Qualities
§ Creative Skills
§ Work Experience preferred
§ Extra Curricular activities
§ Interests and accomplishments
How does this new system work?
A sum total of all these qualities are what we look for in a student wanting
to pursue a PGDBA / PGPe-Biz program. Hence a student with a high written
test score doesn't guarantee a short listing as the student may be found
lacking on other areas on which the Institute lays emphasis. Alternately
students with a low written test may be shortlised if they are academic
performers / have exhibited leadership qualities / performed exceptionally
well on areas of the Institute's focus
So while this process begins with the short listing of candidates from
Common Entrance Tests which we accept i.e CAT, XAT, MAT (Dec03*, Feb04,
May04 * Dec03 candidates must submit their original mark sheet if selected),
ATMA (Feb04), there is no Cut Off score as we believe that the written test
alone cannot be the sole deciding factor in the selection process. To test
emotive aspects of leadership, decision making skills, ability to handle
stress, team orientation, group dynamics to name a few, we have added Group
Discussions and Interviews as a part of our initial round of selection. All
students who have applied to Welingkar will be called for a Group Discussion
and Interview round. Post this; a shortlist of candidates will be declared
who will then need to go through a final round of Interviews for selection
to the programs.
The Panelists
The Selection panelists for this process are practicing Industry
professionals, so in true sense the Selection Process is for the industry
and by the industry!. The group Discussions and Interviews will be conducted
in Mid May04 and the final round of selection by Mid June04.The course will
commence by Mid July 04.
The process leaves little chance for good talent to be left behind. Make
sure you are in. You have time till 25th April'04!
