IBS Gurgaon Selection Process 2024 including Micro-Presentation

The IBS admission selection process for the MBA/PGPM program at our nine IBS campuses for February 2025 will include two main components: a Micro-Presentation and a Personal Interview, each valued at 25 marks.

During the Personal Interview, candidates will be interviewed for 5 to 7 minutes. The Interview Panel will evaluate candidates based on their attitude and aspirations, general knowledge, communication abilities, clarity of thought and expression, and suitability for a management career.

The Micro-Presentation is designed to assess candidates' communication and presentation skills, and their capacity to think quickly and organize their ideas effectively.

Process:

• Candidates will choose a number between 1 and 100, with each number linked to a specific topic.
• After selecting a number, candidates will receive the associated topic.
• They will have one minute to prepare before delivering a three-minute presentation.

Flexibility:

• If a candidate finds the first topic challenging, they can opt for a second topic by selecting another number between 1 and 100.
• Candidates can choose between the two topics but will not have further opportunities to select again.
• Topics are randomized after each selection; thus, if another candidate picks the same number, they will receive a different topic.

Key Features of the Micro-Presentation

• The Micro-Presentation is an individual task rather than a Group Discussion. Only the candidate presenting will speak, with no interaction or discussion among participants. No questions will be asked during or after the presentation.
• Each candidate presents their topic in front of a group of 9 to 11 peers and 2 Panel Members.

Evaluation Parameters

The Selection Panel will evaluate candidates based on their ability to:

• Think quickly and organize your thoughts effectively.
