But how do you actually apply for one?
Don’t worry—the process is easier than you think. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you through it.
? Step 1: Research Your Options
Before anything else, spend time understanding which IPWP programs match your:

Online/hybrid delivery formats
Industry-relevant curriculums
? Step 2: Check Eligibility Criteria
Most IPWP programs require:
A bachelor’s degree (or diploma for some programs)
Minimum 1–2 years of work experience (depending on the course)
Sometimes, specific subject background (e.g., tech, business, healthcare)
Read the eligibility details carefully on the official university website.
? Step 3: Prepare Your Documents
Keep these documents ready:
Updated resume
Academic certificates (10th, 12th, graduation)
Work experience proof (offer letter or payslips)
Government ID (Aadhaar, PAN)
Passport-sized photo

? Step 4: Fill Out the Online Application
Visit the program’s official website and complete the application form. You’ll need to:

Fill in your personal and academic details
Pay the application fee (if applicable)
Some universities may schedule a short screening call or counseling session to guide you further.
? Step 5: Wait for Confirmation
After submitting your application:
The admissions team reviews your profile
You may get a call or email for further discussion
If selected, you’ll receive an offer letter
Once accepted, complete your fee payment or choose an EMI/loan option, if available.
? Optional: Explore Lateral Entry or Credit Transfer
If you’ve already completed some courses or certifications, check if the program offers:
Lateral entry into a later semester
Credit transfer to skip repeated topics
This can save you time and money.
