Overview

Loyola Institute of Business Administration (LIBA) announced that admissions for its Post Graduate Diploma in Management (PGDM) programme for the 2027‑29 academic year are now open. The institute highlighted a marked increase in enquiries and applications from candidates eligible under the Children of Indian Workers in Gulf Countries (CIWG) category, a pathway mandated by the Indian government for children of Gulf‑based Indian workers.

CIWG Category Details

The CIWG admission route allows eligible students to apply for the PGDM programme while paying the domestic fee structure, provided they meet the prescribed eligibility requirements, selection criteria, and documentation standards. Candidates must satisfy entrance‑test requirements and undergo the standard admission verification process. LIBA noted that students admitted under this category typically represent approximately 15% of each PGDM batch, indicating a growing interest from Gulf‑based Indian families.

Institutional Commentary

Rev. Dr C. Joe Arun, SJ, Director of LIBA, stated that the institute has consistently observed interest from students whose parents work in the Gulf, and this year the level of enquiries around the CIWG category has been particularly encouraging. He added that many of these candidates have already completed or are pursuing their undergraduate education in India, making the PGDM a natural next step for their career aspirations in a competitive global business environment. Final selection, he emphasized, remains subject to LIBA’s admission process and verification of the required documents.

Admission Process

Prospective CIWG candidates are invited to contact LIBA’s admissions team for detailed information on eligibility, documentation, and the application procedure. Additional details are available on LIBA’s official website.
