EMBA Entrance Assessment:

EMBA entrance assessment is divided into two stages. EMBA entrance assessment follows an evaluation criterion that covers various skills. A clear communication is essential, and it is measured through language skills, verbal and writing skills allowing you to communicate in the best manner. An entrance test is developed to help in assessing and choosing the right candidates. This entrance test is the first stage of our evaluation process.

Our EMBA programme lays great importance to group work. EMBA also enhances decision-making capabilities, for which analytical skills are imperative, and working in groups and commitment towards goals are under the focus of our assessment criteria. Applicants after being short-listed on the basis of their academic record and EMBA entrance test will be invited to the second stage i.e. group exercises and individual interviews.

Overall, our assessment criteria, tends to look into learning capabilities, enthusiasm and commitment towards goals and objectives of an individual.
