Admission process at SSIM, Hyderabad. Siva Sivani institute of management follows a stringent process of scrutiny to ensure quality intake. The process starts with aspirants registering themselves on the official website and eventually are scheduled for the next available GDPI slot. A minimum of 14 students are made into a cluster and the process starts with group discussion followed by personnel interview. Other areas such as academic profile, English comprehension, communication, diversity and attire are given due weightage during the scrutiny process. As the word suggests, scrutiny is not to trouble or put aspirants unto a hot spot, rather is it to evaluate one’s personality, intent and involvement in the whole process. PGDM program needs aspirants with solitude and character which needs to be exhibited from day one. The whole process is designed around the above factor. SSIM receives applications from almost 13 different states of India and diversity is given a significant importance during intake. This ensures a multivariate learning and development ecosystem which creates a conducive horizon for the students to evolve and learn from.
