FLAME Pune PGDM Admission 2018 – FLAME University, Pune released the application for admission to post graduate programme. Admissions to FLAME University occur in four distinct cycles. If you make an early decision to apply to FLAME, you can participate in the first cycle. Participating early in the admission process gives you a first mover advantage. Your decision to apply early is not binding on you in case you receive an offer of admission from FLAME. However, selected students will have to make a decision about their offer before the stated deadlines in their offer letter. The second cycle is a campus round, where we conduct our assessment process during a dedicated weekend in January on FLAME’s campus in Pune. You may also choose our regular application cycles (third and fourth cycle), which will take place in selected cities across India, like the early decision cycle.
