Admissions Questions
Am I eligible to apply to the MFE program if I received a bachelor's degree from India?
Minimum academic requirements for international applicants are
a 4-year bachelor's degree or a master's degree (2 years after your
bachelor's degree). Recognized basic or first degrees from India include
B. Engineering (in Engineering only), B.Sc in Engineering, B. Tech,
B. Architecture, B. Veterinary Medicine, B. Agriculture, B. Pharmacy or a
Masters degree in a non-engineering field. Associate of the Institute of
Chartered Accountants, Institute of Cost Works Accountants, Associate of
Business Management, and Associate of Institute of Engineers are NOT
acceptable as substitutes for a four-year degree. You are ineligible to
apply with only a 3-year bachelor's degree; therefore, you would need to
complete a master's degree (2 years after your bachelor's degree) in order
to apply. A Postgraduate Diploma (PGDM) awarded by the Indian Institutes of
Management at Ahmedabad, Bangalore, Calcutta, and Lucknow (2 years beyond
bachelor's) can be counted towards the 4-year requirement for a basic or
first degree. For specific details, contact the UC Berkeley Graduate Division at
gradadm@berkeley.edu.
