The selection process at WLCI has been designed to assess each candidate’s personality, abilities, analytical skills, and creative aptitude. WLCI also offers more than 100 scholarships to Indian students [5] to help them pursue undergraduate and postgraduate courses [8] through a scholarship test.

The All India Combined Entrance Test, also known as AICET, is a common entrance test that has been specially designed for students from any stream. [9] Whether a student is applying for Creative Courses or Business Programs, AICET is the first step in the selection process. This test is divided into two parts:

The General Ability Test measures general intelligence of the candidates. The test aims at evaluating the candidate through quantitative, analytical and logical ability. It assesses the general knowledge and communication skills of the candidate. It also focuses on testing the students’ capacity for learning in general, regardless of any specific skill in a certain subject or topic.

The CAT is designed to assess the Drawing skills, Observation & Visualization ability of the candidate. It judges the intuitive ability as well as creative and innovative use of colour and illustration skills. For students applying for Media & Mass communication, it assesses their verbal communication ability and creative writing skills.

For business students there is a Personality Assessment Test that identifies the personality traits and interest areas of the applicant and helps determine the profession best suited for the candidate and where he/ she is most likely to succeed in the professional career. Communication Ability Test that evaluates the proficiency in English communication skills - reading, writing and speaking. The communication skill is important to determine the employability in the industry.

The tests are followed by a personal Interview wherein candidates are evaluated for their skills and abilities required in their chosen field. They are also judged in communication and interpersonal skills as well as creative and lateral thinking.
