Selection Process

The Selection Process for admission to the MBA/PGPM programme at our 9 IBS campuses in February 2025 will consist of two components: Micro-Presentation and Personal Interview, each carrying a weightage of 25 marks.

As part of the Personal Interview, each candidate will be interviewed for 5-7 minutes. The Interview Panel will focus on assessing the attitude and aspirations of the candidates, besides evaluating their General Knowledge, communication skills, clarity of thought and expression, as well as aptitude for a career in management.

The Micro-Presentation component aims to provide a focused assessment of a candidate's communication and presentation skills, along with their ability to think and organize thoughts quickly.

Micro-Presentation Overview

Process:

1. Candidates will select a number between 1 and 100. Each number corresponds to a pre-assigned topic.
2. Upon selecting a number, the candidate is provided with the corresponding topic.
3. They will have 1 minute to prepare and then deliver a 3-minute presentation.

Flexibility:

• If a candidate finds the first topic difficult, they may request a second topic by selecting another number between 1 and 100.
• Candidates may choose between one of the two topics but will not be given additional chances.
• The topics are randomised after each selection. Even if a subsequent candidate chooses the same number, they will receive a different topic.

Key Features of the Micro-Presentation

• The Micro-Presentation is an individual exercise, unlike a Group Discussion. Only the presenting candidate will speak, with no interaction or discussion among participants. Candidates will not be posed any questions during or after the presentation.
• Each candidate presents his/her topic before a batch of 9-11 fellow candidates and 2 Panel Members.

Evaluation Parameters

The Selection Panel will assess candidates based on their ability to:

• Think quickly and organize thoughts effectively.
• Present information clearly and concisely within the 3-minute time limit.
• Demonstrate the following qualities:
  • Communication skills
  • Logical reasoning
  • Relevance to the topic
  • Body language
  • Confidence

Guidance for Candidates

Candidates may be advised to:

1. Quickly jot down key points or an outline during the 1-minute preparation time to structure their thoughts.
2. Focus on delivering the most critical and relevant information clearly and succinctly.
3. Practice speaking at a steady pace to fit within the 3-minute limit.
4. Maintain confidence, clarity, and appropriate body language throughout the presentation.
