PGP PRO attracts accomplished mid-career professionals eager to accelerate their leadership journey. We seek candidates with 5+ years of experience who demonstrate clear potential for strategic roles, intellectual curiosity, and commitment to organisational impact. Our thoughtful selection process identifies professionals ready to transform their careers while maintaining professional momentum, joining a powerful network of diverse, forward-thinking leaders.
PGP PRO identifies experienced professionals poised for strategic leadership roles. Successful applicants typically demonstrate functional expertise, analytical thinking capabilities, and the capacity to balance rigorous academics with career demands. We evaluate each candidate holistically, assessing professional achievements, leadership potential, and ability to contribute diverse perspectives that enrich our dynamic learning community while benefiting from the programme's transformative approach.
We operate a staggered admission process with three deadlines for each intake. While competition is the same across all rounds, the earlier you gain admission, the more time you will have to secure financing and arrange related logistics. Applicants in earlier rounds also get preference in the allotment of scholarships. The online application for each round opens approximately two months before the application deadline for that round. Know more about our application deadlines and special instructions below.
The PGP PRO classroom brings together professionals with diverse journeys across technology, finance, consulting, manufacturing, and beyond —each contributing rich industry insights, functional expertise, and business perspectives.
