Entrance tests in April in the UAE
IIPM will hold its admission test - the E-PAT or Entrepreneurship and Planning Admission Test in April in the UAE.
Selection will be based on the written test, a group discussion and interview.
Unlike the Common Admission Test (CAT), the E-PAT is based more on parameters pertaining to EQ or the Emotional Quotient and overall personality mapping since it has been globally observed that high IQ often takes a backseat to high EQ when it comes to entrepreneurship and management.

- Venue: Onyx Pearl Emerald Room, Novotel Hotel, Dubai
The seminar will cover:
- Global careers in Business and Management
