1. Eligibility Check – Completed during application using your education, work history, and certifications.

2. Sign Up & Enroll – You’ve selected your MBA program and confirmed your enrollment.

3. Onboarding & Orientation – A short series of videos to guide you through your learning experience, AI tools, and FAQs.

4. Experience Portfolio Assessment – Upload supporting documents (resume, project reports, employment proof, etc.) and map them to Program Learning Outcomes (PLOs) as academic evidence.

5. AI Validation Interview – A short virtual session with our AI avatar to validate the authenticity and depth of your experience.

6. Dissertation Completion & Submission – You’ll develop a practical, strategic research project addressing a real business challenge within your field of expertise.

Throughout this journey, you’ll be supported by AI-powered tools, industry-relevant guidance, and a learning model that works around your schedule — all designed to help you gain your MBA qualification with impact and efficiency.
