• In fact, students with a low written test may get shortlisted if they are academic performers / have exhibited leadership qualities / performed exceptionally well on areas of the Institute’s focus.
• Hence, there is no Cut Off score as solely the written test cannot conclude the selection process.
• To test emotive aspects of leadership, decision-making skills, ability to handle stress, team orientation, etc. Group Discussions and Interviews have been added as a part of the selection process.
