COVID-19 policies: Top university takes admissions online

Owing to the pandemic, the university is one of the few, which has made the process of admissions completely free of physical contact.

“We took this proactive initiative right at the beginning of this pandemic, which perhaps very few universities in the country have done successfully – to make the entire admission process online. Right from the applications to personal interviews, there is no face-to-face interaction or visit to the university which is required. That makes it easier for the students. We have a state-of-the-art IT system which facilitates this,” said Dr Rajiv Thakur, Director General - Provost, Faculty of Management and Faculty of Law at MIT World Peace University.

Exceptions are also being made for students whose families are affected by the lockdown. “We understand that due to the lockdown or other constraints, there may be delays in fee payments. So, we are giving extensions to students on that front as well,” explained Dr Thakur.

Online admissions process for an MBA degree

The process of admissions is simple. Students can apply for admissions online on the university’s official website.

“The online link also allows students to upload all the documents, which are required, for the MBA admission. Based on that, we invite them for an interview and group discussion round. Then, we come up with a conclusive score and do an All-India ranking of the students. Students can select which area of specialization they are looking for. Based on the score, the specialization is allotted and the admission process is taken further,” explained Dr Abhishek Mukherjee, Program Head – MBA International Business, MIT-WPU School of Management.

Pursuing MBA: Qualities in a candidate

So, what is it that the university is looking for in someone applying for a MBA program?

Dr Neelam Raut, Program Head – Marketing, MIT-WPU School of Management, said,

“First and foremost, the person seeking admission to our MBA program needs to have an impressive personality and a positive outlook. We need good communication skills and language proficiency.”

“The student should be well-read and updated, have networking skills, good leadership qualities, be emotionally, mentally and spiritually alert, active and agile with the ability to work well in a team,” she further said, adding that the faculty in a B-school is only a facilitator. Students need to do a lot of self-learning, often by unlearning what they know from earlier.
