Calling all IIM Ahmedabad PGPX Applicants (2024 Intake, Class of 2025)

No need to worry

Hi all. I have 2 questions regarding applicationFreelancing work. I work as a Freelance corporate trainer currently. How do we present this experience in my application?

Also is 640 is a good gmat score to apply?

Are the essay questions sent after we submit our application?

is it the focus edition you took?

Hi can anyone please tell whether ESSAY TOPICS remain same for each rounds or do they change with each round?

Essay questions are sent to the candidates who are shortlisted for the interview. In other words, all who are sent essay questions will face the interview.

I suggest write an essay on R1 topics and be prepared as essay writing time window is very short for IIMA and the topics don’t differ so much. You can easily tailor the raw material and stories you use in R1 essay topics in case they change the topics.

Freelancing is legit work. You can present it as self employed I guess. How you talk about it during your interviews will be a game changer for you. It can boost you or take you down.

Secondly, a GMAT focus 640 is a very good score, nothing to worry about. On the other hand old format 640 is slightly on the lower spectrum but thanks to holistic profile evaluation, you can salvage this through your essays, profile and interview performance.

Can someone kindly confirm this!

640 isn’t possible on GMAT Focus.

GMAT Focus scores end with 5, and GMAT standard scores end with 0.

Thank you for the update 😊
Be that as it may, percentile reference would still be taken into account and the point made above still remains

Absolutely!

I think Ayushi may apply with 640. There’s a decent chance. Had it been Ayush though...

😂💯

Where we have to upload the CV in IIM A application? .................. is it mandatory to upload the CV because I have gone through the entire application but did not find any place where they have asked to upload the CV

That’s in the next phase if they shortlist you.

No. The classic one

But when I try to fill in my application and use the self employed tab it is mandatorily asking me to fill website etc. which unfortunately I do not have. How to navigate this situation?

hi . did anybody face any issues while saving personal details? mine don’t get saved after every time I enter them.

Yes, someone did. Try a different browser or a different laptop. That worked.

first GMAT attempt? @ayushigupta95
