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 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.

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.

However, regardless of the path students decide to take during their elective terms, everybody graduates with the same PGP Rise 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.
