Introduction
Once results are out, speed and structure matter.
Step 1: Secure Your Scorecard
- Download immediately
- Save multiple copies
- Note sectional percentiles carefully
Step 2: Shortlist Colleges Rationally
Create three buckets:
- Aspirational
- Realistic
- Safe
Avoid the common mistake of applying only to “brand names”.
Step 3: Prepare for Interviews
Most candidates start late. Don’t.
Focus on:
- Personal story clarity
- Career intent
- Academic justification
- Current affairs (business-relevant)
Step 4: Evaluate ROI, Not Reputation
Ask:
- What roles do graduates actually get?
- How relevant is the curriculum to today’s jobs?
- How strong is industry exposure?
This is where modern PGDM programs often outperform legacy models.
