SOIL Institute of Management shortlists candidates based on their overall profile, beyond just the academic scores. The primary aspects considered are: Leadership Potential, Academic Excellence, Extracurriculars and Intellectual Capacity.

Step 3: Design Thinking Workshop

The workshop is an activity-based session on the design thinking process. Along with this workshop being an assessment stage, SOIL Institute of Management views this as a learning opportunity for students. This workshop takes about half a day and involves sessions, teamwork and presentations.

Step 4: Personal Interview

The shortlisted candidates are invited for an interview with a faculty member and a senior member of the industry. In this 45-minute interview, students are asked questions about their aspirations, goals and professional/academic background. Students must carry all their original documents for verification at the interview venue.

Step 5: Admission Result

Within 4 weeks of the interview, candidates receive an update on email. In some cases, a candidate may be invited for a second round of interview.

Step 6: Admission Result

If admitted, a student must register for the program by paying an initial fee of INR 2.1 lakhs. Once this initial fee is paid, the student becomes eligible to apply for PGDM scholarships. The program office gets in touch with the student to discuss options.

• SOIL Leadership Assessment: A psychometric assessment that evaluates a student’s leadership dimensions and personality traits. Students do not need to prepare for this test.
• Personal Interview: Shortlisted candidates are invited for a personal interview with a faculty member and a senior member of the industry. Similar to the PGDM interview, this interview is 45-minutes long and a student’s background, aspirations and goals are discussed.

Step 4: Admission Decision

Within 4 weeks of completing steps 1-3, a candidate will receive an update on their email. If the admission committee is unsure of a candidate, they may invite the candidate for another interview.
