The SOIL admissions process aims at identifying students with the right attitude that aligns with SOIL’s value system, and who have the ability and willingness to explore their leadership potential. Our unique selection process is crafted in such a manner that it helps us assess the holistic personality of a candidate. We focus on multiple intelligence and try to assess the attitude along with the competence levels of a student.

Well versed in his/her communication skills.
Commitment to build self-leadership for the future and not just get the next job
