Ashoka University PG Admission 2022 Selection Process
Check the selection process for Ashoka University PG Admission 2022 from below:
M.A in Economics: Selection of candidates will be done on the basis of candidate’s performance in the written examination.
Candidates who are interested in applying for the MA in Economics programme are required to fill in an application form online through the website. An applicant cannot submit more than one form in one admissions cycle.
There is no fee to start an application, however, there is a non-refundable fee of INR 1,000 that is charged at the time of submitting the application form.
Once the application form is submitted, there are two stages in the admissions process:
Stage 1: All candidates are required to appear for an online Entrance Examination
Stage 2: If the candidate passes the entrance examination, they will be invited for an online Interview Round. The Interview Round is to gauge the candidate’s suitability for the programme and to Ashoka University’s academic rigour
Applicants are responsible for ensuring access to good internet connectivity for both of the process. Please note that only those candidates who pass the entrance examination and clear the interview round will receive a firm Offer of Admission.
YIF admissions
Applicants are required to submit a detailed application dossier. The selection process will be carried out in 3 stages, each one being an elimination stage.
- Application Assessment: All applications are reviewed by the selection committee consisting of faculty and executive members of the programme. Candidates are evaluated on the basis of their academic performance through school and college and their involvement in extra-curricular activities. Their interests and concerns along with their thoughts and motivation for a meaningful life as expressed in their essays are also considered.
- Telephonic Interview: Short-listed candidates are interviewed on the telephone. Candidates will be notified in advance about when the telephonic interview will take place. It is typically a conversation regarding the information that the candidate has mentioned on their application and may include a discussion about their areas of interests. The duration of the interview is usually around 20 minutes. This is an elimination round meaning if selected in this round they move on to the Personal Interview.
- Comprehension Test and Personal Interview: On the day of the Personal Interview, candidates will be required to take a comprehension test just before the interview. They will be tested on their reading, understanding, articulation skills and critical thinking ability, not on their knowledge of subject matter. Candidates are interviewed in Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Chennai or Bangalore. International candidates have the option to interview on Skype.
The final selection will be based on the cumulative score of all the 3 stages.
