Once you clear all the parameters successfully, you can secure admissions to the preferred programs (PGDM, PGDM-C) for a two-year Post-Graduate course at the leading institutes.

Admission to either course, PGDM-C, and the PGDM, will be granted to students who have chosen both programmes based on merit. The candidate's choice of programme will also be taken into consideration. Since the PGDM programme places a stronger focus on analytics, PDGM applicants' quantitative abilities and data interpretation (QADI) cut-offs could be higher. A candidate's name will automatically be removed from the list of applicants for the programme of his or her second preference after that individual, according to the merit list, has been given admission to the course of his or her priority.
