How much time should an applicant set aside for coursework on the weekdays?
We will try to keep any additional coursework on weekdays to a bare minimum. However, the time taken to prepare for classes can vary according to the subject and applicants’ expertise on the same. On average applicants can expect to spend 5-10 hours a week on weekdays. There will be additional material provided to the applicants in the form of written content, videos or podcasts that they can choose to engage with at their convenience.
Is the PGP Rise: General Management model as valuable as a full-time residential PGP?
While the programme design differs from that of a full-time PGP, the curriculum and structure is equivalent to that of any recognized executive MBA globally. The structure is designed to be flexible to accommodate the busy schedules of working professionals and the content is tailored for those with considerable work experience.
What are the benefits of the 1-year format?
PGP Rise: General Management by Masters’ Union, with its unique 12-month weekend format, covers best-in-class practices in global executive management education through an accelerated pedagogical approach. Designed to offer flexibility as a working professional so applicants don’t have to leave their job to pursue the course, the 4 terms will cover rigorous academic training in core areas. Applicants can choose to go deeper in the industry of their choice through industry electives and find stellar opportunities to network with like-minded individuals through the residency weeks, a tech-trek and leadership retreat. The dynamic format of the programme will offer accelerated learning in the skills of time management and prioritisation, and thus equips them with stellar decision-making facilities, which is one of the most valued qualities of a business leader in today’s times.

Applicants need a minimum of 5 years of experience to apply for the programme. In case any applicant has lesser work experience, feel free to reach out to the admissions team who will evaluate their profile and advise accordingly.
Is there an age limit for entry?
There is no age limit for entry. However, the programme is more suitable for candidates with experience of at least 5 years. If they have less work experience, we encourage them to get in touch with the admissions team who will evaluate their profile and advise them accordingly.
Who are we looking for?
We are looking for a candidate who exhibits strong leadership performance and potential, makes the best use of opportunities available, and is motivated to create an impact.
Do we need to write a GMAT, GRE, or CAT to enrol in this programme?
No, this programme doesn’t require GMAT, GRE, or CAT scores.
Can applicants get their profile evaluated?
Feel free to connect with the admissions team and our counsellors to discuss fitment with the programme. Applicants are welcome to send their CV to pgpriseadmissions@mastersunion.org and initiate a conversation with our counsellors for the same.
Are all candidates interviewed?
Post the application process, the shortlisted candidates are invited to an online interview with our admissions panel.
If an application has been unsuccessful, may they reapply in the next round?
No, they cannot reapply in the next round. Unsuccessful applicants can reapply for the next intake, next year. Re-applicants are requested to submit a new online application unless otherwise indicated. Please exercise judgement in deciding if they have made any significant changes in their new profile since their first application, that would make a significant difference to their admissions chances.
How strict are the application deadlines?
Our deadlines are non-negotiable. Applications must be completed and submitted by midnight (Indian Standard Time) to be included in the ongoing round. A complete application includes the online form, all supporting documents, references, essays, and payment of the application fees.

All participants will be graded through a combination of quizzes, exams, group assignments, class engagement, projects, simulations, reflections, etc. The faculty will decide the specific grading matrix for each course.
Can applicants tailor their learning journey at PGP Rise: General Management?
We offer 16 electives, empowering students to take charge of their time and construct a relevant programme that is aligned with their interests and career goals. We have new-age, core, and industry concentrations so they can choose to pursue a generalist path toward management or specialise in particular areas by choosing industry concentrations. However, regardless of the path students decide to take during their elective terms, everybody graduates with the same PGP Rise: General Management certificate with an opportunity to choose industry concentrations.
Are any of the rounds more or less competitive than others?
Each round is equally competitive. The acceptance ratio is the same for all rounds. Most importantly, applicants should dedicate enough time and thought to their application so that it accurately represents their strengths and talents. However, if scholarships are a priority, we encourage applicants to apply in Round 1.
How should applicants approach the essay section?
The essay section in the application section requires careful consideration and thought. We’re looking for clarity, conciseness, and cohesion in arguments of applicants as well as in the structure of their essay. Most importantly, we encourage them to bring out their most authentic self through these essays to give us the best understanding of their thought process, critical thinking, and communication skills.
Are the fees refunded in case applicants decide to drop out of the programme?
Fees once submitted are not eligible for refunds. Masters’ Union reserves the right to amend this Refund Policy at any time without prior notice.
