You’re starting your journey to a PhD program.
How do you know if you are qualified?
Getting into a good PhD program is a bit like dating. Some programs are attractive but may not be a good fit under the surface. Finding a good match is important. Competition is fierce, and there is no one-size-fits all applicant profile that will work for every program.
At the Naveen Jindal School of Management, application decisions are made holistically by a committee of faculty who evaluate the application in its entirety. Each applicant is evaluated individually by faculty in the relevant functional area.
Is a graduate degree a requirement for admission?
No. Promising applicants are admitted directly from bachelor programs each year.
Further, some applicants come from careers in industry, and some after completing graduate-level education.
Successful applicants often have backgrounds outside management, including economics. engineering, mathematics, statistics and in other STEM-related fields.
Begin the application process early,and allow enough time to prepare for the GMAT or GRE, if needed. The average GMAT score for successful applicants in recent years has been 727 (for GRE, combined score of 325). Apply by the priority deadline to ensure the highest consideration. Good luck!
