As per notice on the website the last day for submitting GMAT score has been extended to Sep-11.
I am planning to take another attempt on the GMAT on September 6th and submit my form before Aug-31.

Could anyone tell me if IIM-A accepts the test center score report? Or will the official score from GMAC compulsorily have to reach them by Sep-11?

I also happened to attend the webinar on Analytics to Management transition. It was good. It looks like IIM gets a lot many candidates working in analytics side of things and they explained how they can transition in to roles like IT sales, Engagement management, etc.

Not at all. Sit down , study and get a better score. These schools are competetive.

I agree with ShankSouljaBoi It is hard to get an admission from IIM's with a GMAT of 600

Hey Guys,

At every section of the application form, there is a requirement to upload supporting documents.
Is there a list of the specific documents required for each section?

For eg. What are the supporting documents required for Employment Experience section?

Hi,

A quick question. How should a Chartered Accountant report his Percentage score? Do they consider only CA Final percentage or aggregate of CA Final + CA Inter + CA Foundation?

I have a query in relation to work experience section. I have been with my Company for many years. During my tenure, I have had 2-3 promotions. Should I add 3 different sections (i.e. one section for each position held) under Employment experience or just one and list my date of joining 9 years back?

Hi
I find that the first page of the application says yo upload all relevant documents without the application will not be evaluated.

I have won an award but I dont have any certificates for that. Should I upload a photo of the memento of the award in the portal.

Pl understand that for document upload field for award no mandatory red asterisk is put.

For the employment related document, a red asterisk mark is available unlike Award.
