Assessment Process for the first batch has commenced
We started the assessment process for the first batch of students. This involves a phone interview with the Dean of the School, Dr. Sankaran Raghunathan. The interviews were scheduled between April 15th thru 19th and the Dean spent at least 30 minutes on the phone with each of the candidates shortlisted to know more about the candidates and to understand their application profile better. Based on this, the next step in the assessment process is now set to begin on April 27. Candidates have been asked to write a note on themselves; about 5 questions have been asked of them and a detailed essay is expected. These essays will help the assessment team to know about each candidate. Candidates will go through a detailed process of assessment for about 3 hours in the forenoon session of the assessment day, followed by a thorough interview for about 30 minutes with a panel of interviewers. The whole assessment exercise is being handled by a group of senior HR leaders in the industry.
We expect to complete the assessment exercise and be able to make the offer of admission by April 30, 2009.

Tuition fees - lessening the burden
Dear Students:
One of the major items of consideration for students is the payment of tuition fees for a good management education. While the total amount of tuition fees is one definite consideration, if the fees can be paid over time rather than upfront, it makes the fee less burdensome.
We at the National Management School felt that we should make a difference in the way management education is delivered in India. This includes the way the tuition fee is collected. Therefore, we have decided that the tuition fees can be paid over 20 monthly installments rather then in 6 installments at the beginning of each term. Thus, our fees can be paid in monthly installments of Rs.50,000 each at the beginning of every month.
Most schools do not like this model since, among other things, it increases the administrative overload. We felt that in the interests of students, we should work out a process to lessen this administrative load while making it easier for students to pay and get good quality education. Therefore, just like you give post-dated cheques to a bank when you get a loan, you can adopt the same procedure with NMS. This makes it easier for both the School and the student alike.
This is one more way in which we bring American Management Education at Indian fees.

American Management Education at Indian Fees
Dear Prospective Student:
One of the decisions that we took early on in the formation of the school is about the fee structure. We felt that in bringing American Management education to India where US based professors will visit India to teach our students, we should not keep the fee level very high. We felt that the fee for the two year program should be kept less than 10 lakhs so that our students can get a bank loan easily. This is important to us since even government institutions such as the IIMs charge more than 11 lakhs for their programs.
You may ask how is it that we are able to keep the fee low even when we have visiting US based professors who not only have to be paid more (in tune with the US salaries) but also have to be paid for their travel to India. This is where we innovated in our business process model. We questioned the assumptions underlying each item of cost to ensure that we keep our costs low and pass on that benefit to students in the form of lower fees.
Our tuition fees for the two year program is Rs.9.6 lakhs including service taxes. In this respect, therefore, we are much lower than most other ranked schools in India.

Welcome message to applicants
Good students, good professors, good learning environment, and good industry interaction – this is the recipe for good education. Our promise to you, dear Students, is to help you discover yourselves in the two years you are with us. Management education for effective global leadership, and mentoring by professors and industry leaders, are two benefits that you will get in The National Management School (NMS).
We would like to invite you to apply for admission to the National Management School in Chennai. The two year Post Graduate Program in Management is offered in collaboration with the Georgia State University (GSU) in Atlanta, USA in two formats – the Full time / Regular PGDM program , the Part time PGDM program and Professional PGDM for working executives. This program that is offered by GSU has been ranked among the top 10 programs for the last 13 consecutive years.
The National Management School is founded by eminent professors from various US Universities. More than 60 professors from the US are involved in the School apart from the professors from Georgia State University’s J.Mack Robinson College of Business. Our professors will have the opportunity to own the institution and thus will be committed to the cause of the School. All of them have a doctoral degree from reputed Universities, mostly from the United States. Several of them hold Chair professorships in their Universities. The academic rigor that they bring to the classroom will help refine your thought processes.
We also have several Chief Officers from various large companies involved with the school. These CXOs have committed to spend time with our students mentoring them during the school year. Our students also benefit from the panel of CXOs who lead large organizations, be it in industry, government or society. The interaction with these CXOs happens in various formats, either as part of the curriculum or outside. The industry relevance that the CXOs add to our curriculum will help you to apply theoretical frameworks.
Thus, academic rigor and industry relevance are brought to bear on the curriculum of the School. The curriculum is patterned after the AACSB standards; AACSB is the accrediting body for business schools in the USA. The Certificate is issued by the National Management School in collaboration with the Georgia State University; both the Deans sign the Certificate.
We are seeking to admit students whose aspirations are high and whose achievements demonstrate such aspirations. We are looking for candidates who are in the top percentile based on the CAT exam or the GMAT. However, our admission is based on a complete profile of the applicant. While academic brilliance is important, we believe that active participation in performing arts or sports or demonstrated leadership in activities, adds to a complete profile. We believe that you learn best in a challenging environment where each one of you learns from the other.
This is what the National Management School has to offer.
FLEXIBILITY - 3 admissions seasons–June, October, & January; Full time & Weekend program

FACULTY - Professors from various well reputed universities across the US

Our professors come from international universities; our CXOs come with global experience operating around the world. This helps provide a global perspective in the classroom that is unparalleled. We believe that the quality of students that we admit combined with the eminent professors that we have and the CXOs that are involved would make the National Management School one of the top ranked schools. This is American Management Education at Indian Fees!!
