Frequently Asked Questions

Questions you may have

One of the key aspects that set WIFA Skillanation Sports Management apart is its distinctive campus. Unlike other existing sports management institutions, WIFA Skillanation holds its sessions and classes within a football stadium and is surrounded by the leading stadiums of Cricket, Tennis and other sports in Mumbai. This unique opportunity provides students with a dynamic and immersive learning environment. By being situated within the stadium premises, students have direct access to the facilities and resources that are integral to the world of sports management. This proximity allows for practical, hands-on experiences and enables students to witness and engage with the real-time operations and events taking place within the stadium.

Our dual campus approach - Churchgate and Goregaon, ensures convenience and maximum exposure to all our students.

An aptitude/entrance test (multiple choice) needs to be undertaken by every applicant applying for a postgraduate program. It can be done at our office or online. This is a free test. No tests for undergraduate students, only submission of soft copies of your mark sheets and domicile documents to check eligibility. Once an applicant makes the cut then he/she will have to appear for a round of personal interview. This will be to assess his/her genuine desire to study a Sports Curriculum. Based on these eligibility and examination parameters, an applicant gets admission into his/her chosen Program.

The differences are the following:

1a. MBA stands for Masters in Business Administration and largely covers exactly that – Business Administration (covering specialization elements of Finance, Human Resource, Research, Marketing and Administration).

1b. Masters is the academic post-graduate track leading up to a Ph.D. (Doctorate) in the chosen field. A Masters alludes to a post-graduate specialization across a wide swathe of subjects under Sports Management. Students can choose from specializations as varied as Sports Psychology and Sports Nutrition (under Sports Sciences) and Sports Analytics

1c. Masters allows more opportunities for Research.

1d. The Sports Industry shows a preference towards hiring and paying more for Masters in Sports Management Students.

1e. Masters will be essential if you intend to pursue a Ph. D in the future.

The aptitude test will comprise of multiple choice questions based largely on sports. There is no set material that one could refer to but if you follow your preferred sport regularly then you will have no trouble answering the question.

We have our own student-led Placement Cell which brings about a minimum of 4 job interviews for each student and in most cases these are adequate to land a job of the student’s choice.

Yes, we have an internship track that our students can choose from. As we have great relationships within the sports industry we are able to provide a wide range of exposure and hands-on learning. Each student chooses the sports arena they wish to intern in such as –Football Club, Sports Federation, Sport Marketing Company, etc. and we set them up to be interviewed for the internship.

The sports industry offers a wide range of opportunities for Students with diverse interests and skills. Some of the opportunities in the sports industry include: Athlete and player agent, Team Manager, Sports governance and Administration Manager, Broadcast Manager, Sports PR Manager, Sponsorship and Marketing Manager, Business Development Manager and many more.
