There are 4 levels of learning during the program.

1. Concept lessons

The first phase of the program consists of 30 weeks of lessons divided into 5 modules. Each lesson will focus on a specific topic that is important for the CAT/GMAT Exam or for the MBA Interview process. The lessons create a strong foundation for each concept and build question-solving skills in students.

The lessons will allow students to revise the concepts that they are clear about and learn the ones they are weak at.

The outcome of the 30 weeks is that students have clarity over the concepts and are mentally prepared for the advanced modules.

2. Zoom Classes

We divide students into cohorts and learning groups.

A cohort is a group of 15-25 students working together.

A learning group is a smaller group made up of 3-5 students who work together more intimately on the week’s lessons, all from the same cohort. These groups might change each week so students are able to connect with more of their classmates.

During learning group meetings, students will dive into a lesson, complete an assignment, and discuss their doubts.

The more students contribute and learn from these groups, the more they will get out of the MBA Mentorship Program.

The learning group meetings will take place in the evenings from 6-8 pm on Mon, Tue, Wed, and Fri each week.

3. Assignments

After each learning group meeting, students are required to submit their assignments in writing on the student portal. What they submit will differ based on the assignment itself.

Students will then read each other's solutions and give feedback to their classmates. Reading someone’s point of view, understanding their thought process and contributing insights are essential skills necessary to master the core lessons built into the program.

Gaining multiple perspectives on a question helps students see more, which enables them to move forward more effectively in their own learning. Writing five comments on five prompts means they’ve learned five new ways to approach the core teaching of the lesson.

The written submission of the MBA Mentorship Program is important because it encourages students to slow down, articulate, be thoughtful, and reflect.

4. Coaching

Each student will be assigned a specific coach.

The role of the coach is to keep you accountable and ensure that you keep pace with the program.

In case, you feel stuck or are finding a particular assignment difficult, the coach will help you in resolving your doubts and moving forward.

Students will have a chance to meet individually with their coaches regularly through office hours.

There are 30 weeks of lessons total. Each lesson will focus on a specific topic or skill that is critical to succeeding in the MBA admission process.

It’s important to know that each lesson will have concept videos, zoom discussion and an assignment to be submitted.

The common thing in our students is that they are willing to learn more, they are willing to put in the hard work, they help their peers out, they take initiative and they are always looking for the next challenge.

Who it's not for...

The MBA Mentorship Program is not for students who are looking for quick shortcuts and easy tricks.

We do not believe in rote learning or hacks. Instead, we focus on building strong logical and verbal skills to achieve excellent results in the exam.

It’s also not for people who focus on cut-throat competition. Our student community and lessons are collaborative and our students seek to help each other out.

It’s important to know the MBA Mentorship Program was designed for students studying full-time in their undergraduate degrees with busy schedules. That said, it’s a commitment. The Program is challenging and takes time, effort, and a willingness to show up.

Students should expect to spend about 20 hours a week on the program. There are live Zoom sessions 4 times per week and the rest of the week is dedicated to assignments and self-study.

Each student will be assigned a specific coach.

The role of the coach is to keep you accountable and ensure that you keep pace with the program.

In case, you feel stuck or are finding a particular assignment difficult, the coach will help you in resolving your doubts and moving forward.

Students will have a chance to meet individually with their coaches regularly through office hours.

Yes. We understand that life happens and plans can change. We’ve created solutions that help students navigate these changes and allow us to preserve the learning experience for their classmates.

Withdrawal Program

DEPOSIT: We require an INR 75K deposit to secure a spot in the MBA Mentorship Program and to accept our admission offer. The deposit is non-refundable.

REMAINDER OF TUITION: The rest of the tuition is fully refundable any time between the day we receive it and thirty days before the start of the program.

Scholarship recipients

If a student receives a scholarship, they are not eligible to defer or withdraw from a workshop.

We only offer a very limited number of scholarships, so to be fair to all applicants it’s important a scholarship recipient is ready for the commitment of time, and money and has a passion to level up.

Important: If in the opinion of the coaches, you’re not contributing to the culture and forward motion of your program, we’ll let you know. If you’re still not able to actively participate, we’ll ask you to withdraw from the program. In this situation, no refund is possible.
