Hello Everyone! Welcome to this thread for IIM Ahmedabad PGPX 2024 intake Admission discussions. Admissions schedule: https://www.iima.ac.in/web/pgpx/apply/ PGPX Admission Office mail id: pgpxquery@iima.ac.in / agm-pgpx@iima.ac.in Let's start the discussion here. All the best!

People who have admits, what is the tentative starting date of the course you have received?

there is some chance that the r3 results will get declared by Feb 3 or 4. 1. r1 results were due by oct 20 but were released by oct 13. 2. r3 timeline mentioned earlier was for shortlist by Dec 29 and essay submission between Dec 29-31. later this was advanced to Dec 21 shortlist and essay between Dec 21-23. generally, the process this year has been getting preponed by a week or so. maybe, there's some chance for early release of r3 results as well - by feb 3/4.

Do we get an email or do we need to keep checking the portal ?

In my R3 interview, one of the prof at the end mentioned that this course is for people who want to switch career and not for people who want to go into the same domain. This he told when I mentioned about by post mba goals. I kind of felt that he was trying to grill me, as 1 year is too short of a time to switch careers. He also said all the best with a smirk at the end. Am I over thinking or did I actually have a bad interview ? Posted from my mobile device

technically, it is for ppl who wish to pivot AND for ppl who wish to advance within current domain. maybe the prof was testing you to see what's really in your head vs what responses u've prepared. a lot of ppl in pgpx pivot all 3 - function, industry, geography. this was clarified during the webinars, i believe. probably overthinking. did you get a mentos/candy offered at the end of the interview ? what's up with that ? https://gmatclub.com/forum/calling-all-iim-ahmedabad-pgpx-applicants-2023-intake-class-of-393572-260.html#p3075154 .

Interesting! In my interview, when I said I want to get into consulting, one prof asked me whether I did not want to stay in my same domain. I said I am keen to pivot completely into consulting and that's why worked hard in the last year to add spike-worthy achievements to my profile. Then the prof said that usually PGPx students get into the same domain, the college has seen that domain switching does not happen much, but not that it does not happen. I reiterated a couple of times in my interview (and have done so in my essay) that I want to get into consulting. Let's see what the result looks like. Can't waittt!

Professors have different ways of evaluating I guess. I was confused that my interviewers did not ask me a single career related question. Just asked me why do you want to do an MBA when you already have a good undergrad
