I secured 100% scholarship in my under graduation but that did not open the door wide for me at SOIL. I had to go through the entire process which is mentioned above.<\/p>\n<p>1) I filled my online application form with essays, which followed by an appointment to give my Caliper Profile Assessment.<br \/>\nCaliper Profile Assessment is a Psychometric Test, which has been a great help to businesses in terms of talent acquisition, leadership development, succession planning and organizational change.<\/p>\n<p>2) Only and only when the admission committee at SOIL which scans and rescans your online application form, sees you as the right fit you are invited for the Caliper Test. Caliper Test assesses multi intelligence apart from the analytical ability.<\/p>\n<p>3) After my Caliper Test happened, my Talent Appreciation Interview was scheduled. The interview is again as rigorous as the curriculum I would say. As SOIL aims at targeting the best of best lot, the interview is managed by a panel that consists of one of the Top Faculties at SOIL along with an Industry Expert which can be anyone ranging from HR Heads, to VP\u2019s of its 32 Consortium companies or more.<\/p>\n<p>4) My interview started with my life journey and progressed with a number of business problems that tested my analytical as well as behavioral skills. After my interview, I waited and waited for the results and one fine day in the course of my wait I finally gained the acceptance at School of Inspired Leadership and my joy knew no bounds. It was a very structured approach that SOIL follows and I am really glad that I am a part of it with some really diverse and an amazing set of peers to have and gain from a healthy competition we have boarded on. Know more about <a href=\"#\">MBA programs<\/a> at SOIL.<\/p>\n<p>5) At the end, I would say \u2018Merit\u2019 isn\u2019t the sole criteria for SOIL to open its gates for you\u2026it is much above it and surely better you do B-School just ONCE and hence need to make it WORTH-THE-WHILE.<\/p>\n<h6>Check out popular posts on MBA here:<\/h6>\n<ul class=\"one_column\">\n<li><a href=\"#\">Advantages of one year MBA in India<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#\">7 Things that make SOIL Special<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#\">One Year PGP by SOIL<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#\">Reasons to Opt for SOIL&#8217;s One Year MBA Program<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#\">One Year MBA: The Safer Option<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yes, that\u2019s what you read is cent percent right.
