Amazing Experience at FORE School of Management

CAT and XAT are the two main entrance tests through which you can get admission to the PGDM programme. The cutoff varies according to the course selected. FORE offers 4 courses (CORE, International Business, Financial Management, and Big Data Analytics) Once the student clears the cutoff they are invited for the further process. The shortlisted candidates are informed and required to undergo Business Awareness Quiz, Extempore, and Personal Interview. For extempore topics are generally related to current affairs, business news, economy etc. The interview usually has 3-4 people in the Panel. The best thing about FORE is that it offers dual specialization to all its students. Additionally, if you want to specialize in Big Data Analytics then there is an opportunity to earn complimentary International Certification in BDA. This certificate is awarded jointly by FORE and the University of California- Riverside.

The courses offered in the initial three trimesters are more or less the same for all the programs. This is done to ensure that each and every student is at par and is able to cope up. In the first year itself, the student needs to choose their major as well as minor specializations. Specialisations are given on the basis of the scores in the first trimester. Students with higher GPA's are given preference while allowing the specializations as there are a given number of seats. A lot of case studies are used along with normal studies. After the completion of 10 sessions, midterm exams are conducted and after 20 sessions end term exams take place. The grading is relative, and weightage is given to class participation, midterm exam, group projects, individual assignments, and end-term exams. Course Fees: INR 15,00,000
