Admission:

During my pursuit of a good MBA, I initially looked for the best colleges and to get those I appeared for CAT and NMAT examinations. I wasn't able to get very high scores consistently throughout my academic years in 10th, 12th and Graduation so with whatever I got with me I looked for some decent MBA Schools. One of my friends suggested me for Thapar as he was also doing MBA from here only. So then I decided to appear for its selection process. Admission went quite smoothly as the first step was of initial online screening through which they were shortlisting the candidates for final counselling based on previous scores and academic history and also scores of NMAT and CAT. Once shortlisted I was called for further processes of Group Discussion and Final Interview. It went well as they only asked us about ourselves and what we did in our graduation.
