Hello everyone, anyone with 650 GMAT score and 8+ years exp in IT has got an interview call? I am in dilemma whether to retake GMAT and apply for R3 or apply with 650 and work on the essays and applications. Any comments will be of great help.

R2 Interview shortlist will be announced on 7 November 2023. R3 last date of application is 18 December 2023. This means, if you fail to make it to the R2 shortlist with your current score, you have good enough time to improve your GMAT Score and apply to R3. This comes with the assumption that if you make it to the Interview round, your GMAT score (w.r.t profile) is good enough (which is a fairly decent assumption, I guess!)

So, does IIM A require you to submit the work experience proof while you apply in R2? Or is it a document required if selected for interview?

some IIM A applicants reported back with the topics I had initially predicted here on my write-up up- specifically Should India prioritize the G20 or focus on bilateral ties, and One election for India. You can find my tips and suggested topics in the first link toward the end.

1. A Strategic Approach to the IIM A PGPX Extempore

2. The non extempore part of the interview- Mastering the PGP/PGPX interview- A comprehensive-debrief

3. Want to revisit IIM A Essays debrief? refer here-
Comprehensive debrief of IIM A PGPX essays

4 Want to revisit high level MBA resume tips? refer here-

Not sure if this will help anyone here or not but the graph here shows the average score of "Admitted" and "Admitted from Waiting List" candidates. It also shows the number of data points on x-axis as column chart.

And this is a Histogram of Admitted candidates from 2021 and 2022 years.

Data comes from GMATClub Decision Tracker datasets

The extempore topics of other candidates besides me:

"Indian startups are often criticized for replicating Western products without much innovation. Comments."
"Given the significance of mental health, is it advisable to consider discontinuing closed-book exams?"

My extempore topic:
"Do you believe that MBA professors with limited corporate experience should be teaching students who come with significant industry experience?"

Guys who were interviewed past week please share your interview experience and extempore topics. It will help all including you, if you are not selected and apply again in R2.
