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.

Can applicants tailor their learning journey at PGP Rise: General Management?
We offer 16 electives, empowering students to take charge of their time and construct a relevant programme that is aligned with their interests and career goals. We have new-age, core, and industry concentrations so they can choose to pursue a generalist path toward management or specialise in particular areas by choosing industry concentrations. However, regardless of the path students decide to take during their elective terms, everybody graduates with the same PGP Rise: General Management 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.
