Hi Jibs,

Planning to apply for Great Lakes PGPM 2019 programme in cycle 2. I have given GMAT in December 2018. Could you please evaluate my overall profile:

Work Ex: Senior Systems Engineer with 3.3 years of experience in Infosys
GMAT: 580
CMAT 2018: 90.74 percentile
Graduation: 8.32/10 (75.70 %)
12th: 80%
10th: 84.80%

Good profile with a lot of extra curricular activities such as,
1. Trained in Hindustani classical music for 6 years (won district, inter-college competitions)
2. Best Cadet at State level NCC camp
3. Trained in Bharatnatyam
4. Social work
5. Organised events and volunteered in college fests
etc

Can I apply for the PGPM 2019 and PGDM 2019-2021 intake with my CMAT 2018 score as well?
What are my chances of getting an interview call?

Regards,
Prateeksha

So, I am done with the WAT-PI process of PGPM round-1. The PI was very casual. They didn't even ask about my work or why do I want to do an MBA?
The first question was on where do you think you can get placed from our college. :roll: . Some very basic questions on what are the social problems faced
by people of my home town. I don't know if it was just with me, or with everyone :lol: . There could be two scenario - I got lucky or I'm doomed.
WAT topics were on the new technologies taking over the conventional work system.

Let's see what happens next. :please

Hi Jibs,

Being a GLIM aspirant, I would like to know what should I be aiming at before I attempt any of the exams.

I have a 78% in 10th, 87% in 12th and a 73% in B.E. Currently, I have an experience of 2.6 years working as a data analyst in a reputed insurance firm which might go upto 3+ years by the time I apply for the programme next year.

Could you please help me out in assessing where I stand as far as academics/experience is concerned and what scores should I be aiming at in GMAT, CAT and XAT that would get me an interview call from the institute?

(If there is anyone else in this forum who could help me out, kindly do so)

Thank you.

Hi Jibbs,

My profile is as follows:

GMAT: 610 (IR was a disaster)
10th- 88%
12th- 80%
B.Tech + M.tech. -75.70% (Very strong ECA and managerial activities background)

Work ex- 17 months (15 months - National Informatics Centre and 2 months with a Saas bootstrapped start up)

Looks like a safe bet for applying before this 25th Feb?

Also few queries are listed below:

1. If I apply at GLIM with a certain GMAT score and get accepted, will I be able to update my GMAT score and be considered for the semester abroad program as per my new GMAT score?

2. How is the work experience calculated with 30th June is mind? For instance I might leave my job before 30th Jun or I might take a sabbatical. In this case I will not be able to put in my exact work experience.

Looking forward to your reply.
Thanks and Regards,
Harsh
