Step 1. Evaluation of applicants’ qualificationsThe Selection Committee assesses all the applications and the attached documents.
The Selection Committee can assign you a maximum of 40 points, according to the following criteria:

• MSc’s final grade (for graduands: weighted average grade of the exams passed before the application deadline as stated in the documentation uploaded to Apply@polito) – maximum 15 points;
• number of years needed to get the final degree and graduation date: degrees awarded in the past two solar years obtain higher score – maximum 10 points;
• MSc’s exams coherence with programme’s topic – maximum 10 points;
• work experiences related to programme’s topic – maximum 5 points.

The final score of the first step of the evaluation is based upon the above-mentioned criteria, up to a maximum of 40 points.
You will be considered as “inelegible” and you will not be admitted to the second step of the selection process if you:

• do not attach all the compulsory documents;
• do not fulfill all the admission requirements;
• do not reach the minimum score of 15 points.

Step 2. Interview

This step is divided in two different phases: 1) Group Assessment, 2) Individual Interview.

1) Group Assessment: in this phase, the Selection Committee, together with CNHI, also with the support of an external society, will assess your level of English proficiency and your soft skills. 

The Selection Committee can assign you a maximum of 25 points for:

• your level of English proficiency - maximum 10 points;
• soft skills evaluation (leadership; humble; innovative mindset; transparency; focus; problem solving) – maximum 15 points.

2) Individual interview: the Selection Committee interviews the applicants who passed the first phase of the step 2 of the selection process. The Selection Committee can assign you a maximum of 35 points.
Individual interviews aim to assess:

• your motivation – maximum 15 points;
• your technical knowledge – maximum 15 points;
• your work experience – maximum 5 points.

You will be considered as “ineligible” if you do not reach the minimum score of 35 points for phase 1 and 2 of the second step of the selection process.

Provided that you obtain the minimum score required, on the programme website, you will be contacted for 1^st and 2^nd phases of the second step of the selection process (at least five days before the date of the group assessment and the individual interviews).
Phase 1 and 2 will take place in presence.

If you are unable to attend the group assessment and the individual interview in presence for important reasons, the Selection Committee can give you the opportunity to have them remotely. The decision of the Selection Committee is unquestionable.

The Selection Commission can contact eligible candidates passing Step 1 of the selection process starting from July, 13^th 2022, providing that they are available.

The overall score is the sum of the score obtained in the first and second step of the selection process.
