Two-Year Post Graduate Programme in Management (PGP)

PGP (2019-21 Batch) Admission Procedure for International Applicants

Definition of International Applicants

Foreign passport holders only will only be considered as ‘International Applicants’ for admission
to the Post Graduate Programme in Management of IIM Indore in 2019-21 batch.

Eligibility Criteria

 The candidate must hold a bachelor’s degree, with at least 50% marks or equivalent
CGPA, awarded by any of the universities incorporated by an act of the central or state
legislature in India or other educational institutions established by an act of Parliament
or declared to be deemed as a university under section 3 of UGC Act, 1956, or possess
an equivalent qualification recognized by the Ministry of HRD, Government of India. The
equivalence of the foreign degree needs to be certified by the Association of Indian
Universities. The bachelor’s degree or equivalent qualification obtained by the
candidate must entail a minimum of three years of education after completing higher
secondary schooling (10+2) or equivalent.

The percentage of marks obtained by the candidate in the bachelor’s degree would be
based on the practice followed by the institution/university from where the candidate
has obtained the degree. In case of the candidate being awarded grades/CGPA instead
of marks, the equivalence would be based on the equivalence certified by the
institution/university from where they have obtained the bachelor's degree.

In case the institution/university does not have any scheme for converting the CGPA into
equivalent marks, the equivalence would be established by dividing the obtained CGPA
by the maximum possible CGPA and multiplying the result by 100.

Candidates appearing for the final year bachelor’s degree/equivalent qualification

examination and those who have completed the degree requirements and are awaiting
results can also apply. Such candidates must produce a certificate from the
Principal/Head of the Department/Registrar/Director of the institution/university
certifying that they are currently in the final year/ awaiting final results and have
obtained at least 50% marks or equivalent based on latest available grades/marks. Such
candidates, if selected, will be allowed to join the programme provisionally only if they
submit a certificate latest by the Principal/Head of the Department/Registrar/Director
