Indian Institute of Social Welfare and Business Management

IISWBM has designed a comprehensive admission process for the MSW course. The admission criteria help the institute in ensuring the admission of the right candidate. To begin, students must visit the institute's online admission portal to apply for the programme. The form can also be obtained from the admissions office.

Once the application stage is completed, the institute shortlists students who meet the eligibility requirements. Next, the selection committee of the institute conducts a written test. Students who pass the test are further evaluated via GD & PI rounds. Those who pass both the rounds and are selected for admission must report to the institute for document verification and payment of fees.

The institute is one of the few institutes that offer MSW courses, as it believes in creating socially conscious managers. IISWBM Kolkata is a great choice as it has an excellent placement record. Moreover, as per the official website, students enrolled in this course get to do a summer internship and fieldwork to gain hands-on experience. 

Other than this, student reviews on Shiksha suggest that the institute provides 100% placements for MSW students. The highest package bagged by MSW students during recent years placements stood at INR 12 LPA. The review also suggests that students are provided internship opportunities in good companies, such as Aditya Birla Group, L&T, Hope Foundation, and more.

For admission to all its MBA courses, the Indian Institute of Social Welfare and Business conducts a personal interview round. This round is held to check the suitability of candidates for the MBA programme. Students who get called for an interview must prepare well.

Further, to be able to get to the PI round, students must fulfill the eligibility criteria, submit an application form, and pass the GD rounds conducted by the selection committee of the institute. In general, students are questioned about their past work experience (if applicable), general knowledge, and management principles.
