How Selection Works
Process
Entrance score → application/profile shortlist → WAT/GD/PI or institute-specific assessment → final composite based on test, profile and interview.
Academics, work experience and diversity
Academic consistency, relevant work experience, extracurricular/leadership evidence and interview quality can improve conversion chances even when the entrance score is only around the target band.
