Application Deadlines

We operate a staggered admission process with two 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.

PGP MFAB Class of 2027 Application Deadline Tentative Interview Dates
Round 1 November 09, 2025  Week 3, October 2025 to Week 2, January 2026
Round 2 March 08, 2026  Week 2, April 2026 to Week 4, April 2026

 

Note - Applications submitted after November 09, 2025, will automatically roll into Round 2 consideration. We shall not accept applications received after March 08, 2026, for the class of 2027. Each application round represents a specific timeframe for submission, not sequential stages of the process. Candidates may submit only one application per academic year during a single round.  These dates depend on the admission cycle, i.e. these will be the Round 1 and Round 2 deadline dates.

Special Instructions

Reapplicants  

Any applicant who previously applied to any of the PGP Suite of programmes will be considered a reapplicant.

We welcome returning candidates, who typically represent 20-25% of our applicant pool each year. Many successful ISB students were admitted on their second or third attempt, bringing valuable perspective and demonstrated commitment to their cohorts.

Reapplicants benefit from a reduced application fee and the opportunity to highlight their growth through a dedicated "Reapplicant essay." Your application will be evaluated comprehensively based on current admissions criteria, with no advantage or disadvantage compared to first-time applicants. We encourage you to showcase meaningful professional developments, new accomplishments, and enhanced clarity in your career vision since your previous submission.

All reapplicants, including those previously admitted to the PGP suite, must complete the current application in its entirety. Our admissions committee appreciates the determination demonstrated by reapplicants and recognises that timing and personal readiness are important factors in the admissions journey.
