What is a typical day of a Masters’ Union student?
At Masters’ Union, our dynamic and hands-on pedagogy ensures that each day offers a unique learning
experience. With 2-3 classes per day, each spanning 120 minutes, students delve deep into
diverse business topics, engaging with expert faculty and their peers in stimulating
discussions and practical exercises. Beyond classes, students immerse themselves in a
variety of enriching activities throughout the week- CXO Sessions, Industry Practicums,
Career Counselling Sessions etc.
Can applicants tailor their Masters’ Union PGP TBM?
Masters’ Union offers more than 87 electives, giving students
the chance to construct a tailor-made postgraduate program that fits their personal and
professional goals. We have new-age, core, and industry concentrations.
Students are free to pursue a generalist path toward management or specialise in particular
areas by choosing industry concentrations. Regardless of the path students decide to take
during their elective terms, everybody graduates with the same PGP TBM certificate with an
opportunity to choose industry concentrations.
How will applicants be graded at Masters’ Union?
The final grades for most courses will be determined by a mix
of class participation, quizzes, simulations, group assignments, projects and exams.
Masters’ Union grades the exams on a Standard Normal Curve, also called a Z-curve, with a
mean of 3.0. There are no forced-to-fails. To graduate, students must maintain a mean grade
of 2.1 in both the core and electives courses.
What are the benefits of the one-year format?
The PGP TBM at Masters’ Union, with its unique 16-month
format, encapsulates the best global practices in management education through a pedagogical
approach. Designed to be a fast-paced academic experience, it includes 13 months of rigorous
academic training in core areas and industry concentrations with a three-month period of
internship and industry immersion, and opportunities to network and seek mentorship. Being
in this state of constant engagement gives an opportunity for students to learn how to set
priorities and make choices about learning, socialising and personal time from the very
beginning of the programme, making them an expert at decision-making, which is one of the
most valued qualities in a business leader.
If an applicant is from a non-tech background, is the Masters’ Union
PGP TBM a right fit for them?
While the programme might have the word ‘technology’
integrated within it, our programme is far more holistic in what it encompasses, and allows
students from non-tech backgrounds to blend in seamlessly. We ensure our graduates are
equipped with the knowledge and practical skills to work on a diverse range of tools, from
programming concepts to software design. As leaders at the intersection of business,
technology, design, marketing and many more, we believe tech is only one out of the several
toolkits students will need to acquire at Masters’ Union. Students who choose to immerse
themselves and have a more technology-focused emphasis for their journeys can curate their
own academic journey through their elective choices.
What is the typical student's profile at Masters’ Union?
We don’t have any ‘typical’ student
profile. The PGP TBM welcomes students from across diverse geographical, academic and
professional backgrounds. We encourage students to visit our cohort statistics page to get a
better idea of the student profiles of graduates of the PGP TBM programme.
If an applicant just completed/will be completing their undergraduate
studies, is Masters’ Union a right fit for them?
Work experience is not a mandatory
requirement for admission. If students feel they have demonstrable leadership potential
along with meritorious academic accomplishments, we encourage them to apply to Masters’
Union.Freshers from our third cohort have had unparalleled career trajectories, with our average package for freshers at ₹34.07 Lakhs.
How many years of work experience does an applicant need to be
admitted?
While 2-5 years of work experience is
ideal, it is not a mandatory requirement for admission. Applicants in their final year of
graduation with demonstrable maturity and leadership experiences are encouraged to apply.
What's the minimum qualifying GPA?
Masters’ Union does not have a minimum GPA
requirement as the GPA system is not a global grading methodology. We focus on the courses
students have taken, grades received and overall academic performance.
Is there an age limit for entry?
There is no age limit for entry. However,
the programme is most suitable for those who are at an early stage in their careers. If
students have more work experience, we encourage them to get in touch with the admissions
team at
admissions@mastersunion.org , who will
evaluate their profile and advise them accordingly.
If an applicant has very little (or no) work experience, how will that
impact their placement prospects at Masters’ Union?
As a candidate with less than 2 years of
experience, students will not be competing for jobs with more senior peers. Companies offer
jobs relevant to different experience bands (0-2 years, 3-5 years, 5-8 years, 8+ years,
etc). Organisations would focus more on their skill set as compared to their past
experience.
If an applicant doesn't have a business background, will this impact
their chances for admission?
We value diversity at every level and
welcome applications from a variety of professional and academic backgrounds, including the
arts, law, medicine, military, and non-profit. As with all candidates, we will be looking
for demonstrable leadership potential, and will consider this in conjunction with their
professional experience and past performance, when assessing their application.
If an applicant doesn’t have an undergraduate degree, can they still
be considered for admission?
Yes! While the vast majority of our
participants have undergraduate and/or advanced degrees, this is not compulsory for
admission. Candidates who do not hold an undergraduate degree, but who have an excellent
career record, examination scores and leadership potential are also welcome to apply.
Who are we looking for?
We are looking for a candidate who uses
available opportunities to the best of their ability, is curious to learn new things,
remains open to opposing viewpoints and new ideas, and exhibits strong leadership
performance and potential.

Can applicants defer their admission offer from Masters’ Union to the
next year?
Currently, we are not offering the option
to defer admission. Those who cannot join the programme in the current year are advised to
apply again next year.
Are all applicants interviewed?
Only candidates who have been shortlisted post their application submission will be invited for the personal interview.
Are any of the rounds more or less competitive than others?
Each round is equally competitive, with the same acceptance ratio across all rounds. The most important factor is to dedicate sufficient time and effort into your application to accurately showcase your strengths and talents.
However, applying in Round 1 offers several advantages:
-
Scholarships: If scholarships are a priority, we encourage applying in
Round 1.
-
Hostel Room Choice: Round 1 students get priority in selecting their
hostel rooms, ensuring they can choose from
the best available options.
- Notice Period: They have ample time to serve notice periods at their
current jobs.
- Break Before Studies: They can take a well-deserved break before starting
16 months of intensive study.
- Loan and Funding: They have more time to apply for loans and arrange
funds.
Can applicants get their profile evaluated?
Feel free to connect with the admissions
team to understand your fitment with the programme. While applicants are welcome to send
their CV to admissions@mastersunion.org for a preliminary conversation, due to a large
volume of requests, our responses might be delayed.

Masters’ Union follows a holistic evaluation approach for admissions and does not have a cut-off for the AI Assessment and Interaction. Our selection process considers a combination of academic and professional experience, communication skills, and other application components.

Yes. We now accept the latest GMAT Focus
Edition and it aligns with our admissions criteria.

Edition? Will this impact application?
Yes, the same reporting policy applies to
both the GMAT Focus Edition and standard GMAT. Students will have the option to report the
scores of both versions of the GMAT in our application form. The choice of taking the GMAT
Focus Edition will not have any negative impact on the application. Note: The conversion
table designed by GMAT, is to help students convert their GMAT Focus score to the equivalent
standard GMAT score and vice versa. To convert their scores, students should locate their
GMAT Focus score in the left column and find the corresponding standard GMAT score in the
right column.
Are there more details about the AI Assessment and Interaction?
The AI Assessment and Interaction is a key part of the application process, to be taken by shortlisted students on the day of their personal interview. The video-based AI Assessment represents our commitment to staying at the forefront of technology, offering a cutting-edge and unbiased admissions experience.
