Process Overview

The application process is completely online; hence a PC with an internet connection is a must. You will need to create an account to complete the online application form. Once this is done, a confirmation email will be sent to you with the necessary information to activate your online application account.

The online application requires you to provide detailed information about yourself, your education and work experience, etc., in addition to submitting a few essays. You also need to provide the names and contact details of two professionals for submission of recommendation letters. The recommendation form will be made accessible to your referees from the School’s online application form.
Once you submit your application, you will be taken to a payment gateway where you will be required to pay INR 3000 (equivalent of USD 60) as application fee using a VISA / Master credit card or internet banking (ICICI Bank only). If the payment is successful , the application is considered submitted. You do not need to complete the entire application in one sitting. You may save parts of the application, log out, and return later to complete the remaining parts.

The Admissions Office will then check the application to ensure it is complete and inform you accordingly. You will be able to track the status of your application through the online application itself.
