Selection includes a test and interview
The Times of India said admission would depend on performance in the department’s entrance examination and a personal interview. NDTV reported that the campus selection process is scheduled for November 14 and 15.
The aptitude test covers business aptitude, logical reasoning, quantitative ability and verbal ability, according to NDTV. Applicants should use the institute’s admission portal to check the current instructions and submit their forms, rather than treating registration alone as confirmation of admission.
NDTV also lists degree records and evidence of work experience among the documents candidates should prepare for the application.
