    Apply online

    Apply in nine short steps on the PRTF admissions portal.

  2. 02

    Screening

    The admissions committee checks your eligibility and shortlists candidates for the next stage.

  3. 03

    Test and interview

    A 30-minute aptitude test and a 15-minute interview. If you have a valid entrance exam score, you can skip the test.

  4. 04

    Offer and seat

    Shortlisted candidates receive an offer letter by email. Confirm your seat with the registration amount and your documents.

Paying for it

If the fee is the obstacle.

Help getting a loan, and exactly what happens to your money if you change your mind.

Education loans

Because the programme is approved by AICTE, it qualifies for education loans from public and private banks and from NBFCs. The admissions office helps you choose a bank and a scheme, issues the admission and fee documents the bank asks for, helps you complete the formalities, and follows up with the bank to keep things moving.

If you withdraw

PRTF follows the refund norms set by AICTE.

  • Before the programme startsYour fee is refunded in full, less a processing charge of ₹1,000.
  • After it startsThe refund is calculated pro-rata, on the number of days you attended.

Before you start the form

  • Graduation mark sheets and degree certificate
  • Entrance exam scorecard, if you have one
  • Transfer or migration certificate
  • Category certificate, if applicable
  • Identity proof: Aadhaar, passport or similar
  • Passport-size photographs

Before you arrive

Two things worth knowing.

Somewhere to live

There is a girls’ hostel on campus. Living in is not compulsory. If you would rather find your own place, the team helps you find something nearby and reliable.

If you want to build something

Students with a venture in mind get mentoring, industry contact and help turning an idea into a business plan, during the programme and not after it.

FAQs

Questions about applying.

Straight answers on eligibility, selection, fees and what happens next.

01What are the eligibility criteria?

A bachelor’s degree of at least three years in any discipline, from a recognised university, with at least 50% aggregate marks or the equivalent CGPA. For SC and ST candidates the requirement is 45%, as per government norms.

02I’m in my final year. Can I apply now?

Yes. Candidates in the final year of their qualifying examination can apply. Admission is provisional, and you will need to submit proof of graduation (your final mark sheet and degree certificate) on or before 31 October of the year you join.

03I’m from a non-technical background. Is an AI-centric programme for me?

Yes. The programme assumes no coding or mathematics background and accepts graduates from commerce, arts, science, engineering and every other discipline. The first year builds AI fluency from the ground up, so what matters at admission is your reasoning and your attitude to learning, not what you studied. How the programme is built.

04Can I apply without CAT or any other entrance exam?

Yes. If you hold a valid score in CAT, XAT, CMAT, MAT, ATMA or GMAT you can apply with it. If you don’t, you apply through PRTF’s own selection process instead, which assesses your academic record, an aptitude test, a personal interview and any work experience. Neither route costs anything.

05What is the PRTF aptitude test like?

It runs online and takes 30 minutes. It covers logical reasoning and business awareness, and it carries 30% of the assessment on the internal selection route. There is nothing to memorise for it.

06What happens in the interview?

A 15-minute conversation on Zoom with two evaluators from the admissions team. They are interested in how clear you are about your career, how you approach learning, and how you communicate. It carries the largest single weight in the assessment, at 40%.

07Is there an application fee?

No. Applying through the PRTF admissions portal is free. You pay only when you accept a seat.

08What is the total fee, and what does it cover?

The two-year programme fee is ₹7 lakh, and the registration amount is included in that total rather than charged on top of it. The fee also covers a laptop, study tours, industry interactions, medical insurance, uniforms, examination fees, and certificate courses from Google, NVIDIA, Amazon and other organisations.

09Which payment plan works out cheapest?

Paying once. The one-time plan is ₹6.50 lakh, which is ₹50,000 less than the full fee. The annual plan is ₹6.75 lakh, saving ₹25,000. Paying trimester by trimester comes to the full ₹7 lakh. See all three plans.

10When is each instalment due?

Every instalment is payable 15 days before its trimester begins. Payments made later than that attract late fees or penalties as per institute policy.

11What happens to my fee if I withdraw?

PRTF follows AICTE’s refund norms. If you withdraw before the programme begins, your fee is refunded in full after a processing charge of ₹1,000. If you withdraw after it has begun, the refund is calculated pro-rata, based on the number of days you attended.

12Can I get an education loan?

Yes. Because the PGDM is approved by AICTE it qualifies for education loans from public and private banks and from NBFCs. The admissions office helps you choose a bank and scheme, issues the admission and fee documents the bank needs, helps with the paperwork, and follows up with the bank to speed things along.

13What happens after I submit the form?

The admissions committee screens applications against the eligibility criteria and shortlists candidates for the aptitude test and interview. A final merit list is prepared from those results, and shortlisted candidates receive an offer letter at their registered email address. You then confirm your seat with the registration amount and your documents.

14Do I have to live on campus?

No. Accommodation is not mandatory. There is a girls’ hostel on campus, and for students who prefer to arrange their own housing the team helps identify suitable options nearby.
