Nomination and Selection Process for Duke TIP in India
Nomination Process
Duke TIP currently works with over thirty schools across seven cities in India, including Ahmedabad, Bangalore, Delhi, Dehradun, Hyderabad, Mumbai and Mussorie. Students are nominated by their schools. They are chosen based on several criteria, including high performance on a standardized examination, rank in class group, counselor/headmaster recommendation, personal essay and proficiency of English.
Selection Process
" TIP was amazing and exhilarating and no one should turn down the offer. More than just academics are taught there. It was an awesome experience.”
Duke TIP selects students using a rigorous and holistic approach. The selection committee takes into account the student’s academic performance, ability, and potential to thrive in a fast-paced, university-level environment. The committee recognizes that there are not enough spaces currently in our TIP in India program, but plans to expand in the future and offer alternative ways to engage with Duke TIP for nominated students. One way we plan to do this is through Duke TIP’s e-Studies Program
