and social purpose for managerial decision making and implementation.

entrepreneurial capabilities in students to make them effective
change agents.

in students the capabilities of setting standards of excellence

is internationally recognized as equivalent to an MBA, is the

variety of Indian public and private sector corporations and
other organizations. Many have already attained top management
positions in Indian industry or have become entrepreneurs. Most
are serving in functional management positions.
Admission Procedure
Every
year, IIMA selects about 250 students from among the over 100,000

of the nationally administered Common Admission Test (CAT),
and subsequent rounds of personal interviews and group discussions.
The students are selected on the basis of their CAT scores,
past academic performance and performance in the interviews
and group discussion. Selected students have scholastic achievements
in disciplines such as arts, commerce, science and professional
streams such as engineering, technology and medicine. Many of
them also have achievements in extra-curricular and organisational
activities. Some of the qualities that characterise past students
are high levels of initiative and energy, capacity for hard
work, strong task orientation, willingness to learn, and a temperament
suitable for teamwork. The PGP classes have had a mix of fresh
graduates and persons with work experience.
