Frequently Asked
Questions

How do I decide which programme to choose, or which programme is right for me?

If you are dealing with complex family dynamics or need long-term business transformation, leadership growth, and legacy building, OPM is the right choice. It is a 12-month programme for those focused on sustainable growth, succession, and global business exposure.

If there are not too many complications in your family dynamics, your primary pain point is sales or business acceleration, and you want to make a shorter commitment of your time, then 9 month BAP is a better program for you.

What is the main outcome difference?

  • 12 months OPM = holistic, sustainable transformation and leadership

  • 9 months BAP = fast, practical sales and process gains

Will there be the same level of rigour of practical application in both the programs?

Yes. Both programs include assignments and Capstone to ensure whatever is taught in the class is thoroughly applied in your company. A pressing problem that your organisation is currently facing is solved with the help of Capstone, with one on one coaching by faculty and mentors.

Will I miss out a lot by choosing the BAP?

It's all about what your need is. Yes, you will miss out on some aspects like in-depth modules for family, self, patriarch, non family CXOs. Also, international immersions and Fractional Board. Nevertheless, if your current pressing need is revenue growth, then you can go for BAP.

Is it worth doing the 12-month program if my goal is only sales growth?

It is better to compare all aspects of both programs, what different and additional you are getting in each, and then decide.

Can freshers apply for the 9-month BAP Certificate?

Not recommended. Ideal for those with at least 2–3 years of business/operations experience.

Is the 9-month BAP program also designed for family businesses?

Both OPM and BAP are designed keeping needs of family business owners and promoters.

Is the 9-month BAP course a subset of OPM?

No. It is a different program. While some sessions are similar to OPM, there are many sessions in BAP which are not taught in OPM. See Modules Comparison.

Can I switch from OPM to BAP?

OPM's first batch with generous scholarships, offer of bringing a family member for free, international immersions, Fractional Board, and almost 2X course modules offers incredible value. Hence, we strongly dissuade students from switching from OPM to BAP.

Having completed BAP, can I upgrade myself to OPM by doing additional courses and modules?

Yes, it is possible by doing additional modules and international immersions. However, we would like to understand your business objectives and then recommend the best way forward.

Can I upgrade from BAP to OPM during the program?

Yes, by completing additional modules and paying incremental fees. However, the total cost of upgrading through this pathway will be higher than pursuing OPM directly from the beginning. We recommend carefully evaluating your long term objectives before making this decision.

Can I bring a family member or my professional team to the 9-month BAP program?

No. This benefit is exclusively available for the first cohort of 12-month OPM.

Is the business simulation/ personal interview conducted online or offline?

The in-person business simulation and interview will be conducted on the same day for a student. These will be scheduled across major cities (Delhi, Bengaluru, Mumbai, Ahmedabad, Indore, Hyderabad, Chandigarh) in India and over Zoom in exceptional cases.

What is GD or business simulation ? How to prepare for it?

The in-person business simulation will require students to role-play as a CXO of a company and solve its business challenges in a team of 5-6 applicants. We will send them a case study to prepare for the business simulation round 3-4 days prior for preparation. In this round, they will be judged on their creativity, communication, and teamwork skills. They will be participating in a group discussion for 45 minutes followed by a presentation (without any slides).

What happens in the personal interview, what kind of questions will be asked?

The interview will be a one-on-one conversation with our faculty or senior leadership. The questions will be around their application and motivations for applying to Masters' Union. The goal is to know more about students and what they want to achieve at Masters' Union.

Is there any detailed information about GD/PI ?

  • The overall process will take around 3 hours.

  • The business simulation will last 45 minutes followed by a 15 minute group presentation. Students will be working in teams of 4-6 students on a simulated business scenario, where students will be expected to make decisions, analyse data and present their findings.

  • The interview will be conducted by a senior leader or a faculty member at Masters’ Union and will be approximately 30 minutes long. They will be asked questions about their application including their achievements, essays and the video essay submitted.

  • Dress code for the event is smart casuals.

When will the results be declared?
