Selection Processes for B-Schools

Every B-School is unique and most of them have their selection processes in place which have been vetted over the years. There are still some elements which remain common across all B-Schools such as:

  • Academics: Your 10th Standard and 12th Standard scores are likely to play a role in the B-School selection criteria. In case of some colleges, the graduation score can also play a role although it is generally given less weightage than the 10th and 12th Scores. Some colleges adjust the scores on the basis of the boards while others simply take the raw scores.
  • Work Experience: Almost every college has a certain weightage for the amount of work experience that you possess. The highest weightage is normally given to the candidates with around 2 years of work experience.
  • Category: This might not hold true for private colleges but most government colleges have a criteria for according to your category. This generally takes the form of a relaxation in the academics requirement and the entrance exam cut off.
  • Entrance Exam Cut Off: Every college has a cut off in percentile which determines the candidates that receive an interview call.
  • Gender Diversity: This is another criteria which some colleges have while others don’t. It normally affects the final selection rather than the initial interview call.

These are a shortened list of the different factors which come into play during the selection process of the B-Schools. The weightage given to each criteria may vary from college to college but overall criteria generally remains the same.
