Gmat 735, graduated from IIT and this time interview was good... but didn’t make it...
Is it 12+ work experience or introduction of reservation ultimately leading to reduced no of seat for general male?

I think 12+ WE could be the reason.

Not sure if it's the workex. In the decision tracker for IIMA I saw a guy with 14 years of Workex who got in. I myself was waitlisted in R1 with a GMAT FE score of 715 and Workex of 7 years.

I think IIMA people are concerned that that people with high GMAT scores will eventually ditch their programs to go for an MBA abroad. In my interview also they asked if I had any plans to apply abroad. I did not answer this question well.

I do not think so that assumption can be the basis for the final decision for any college. It could be either messed up interview or diversity factor in my case at least. Limited batch size with reservation might have impact on selection in round 3. To maximise the chances always apply in round 1 of any college.

Which is ideal to increase chances? 1st or 2nd round?

Didn't get through in 3rd round this time!

Round 1 provides every university to select candidates without any constraints. As we progress, they will start focusing in getting candidates from specific backgrounds that they were not able to get in Round 1. Round 1 have lesser filters is what I believe.

Hi, I was wondering if anyone has any information regarding the interview format for international candidates (PGP). I believe it is online, but have no data apart from that. Can I expect it to be similar to the in person interviews?

Is there any update for the waitlisted candidates? Do you have any idea how the waitlist is processed? Are the candidates waitlisted in Round 1 cleared first, or is it a general pool for all the rounds put together? Is there any historical movement data to pacify my anxiety? thank you

There is a WhatsApp group for Waitlisted candidates. Everything has been discussed there....meanwhile, there has been no major updates to the WL conversion (apart from 1 person who has indeed reported a conversion)......no one has any idea about how WLs are processed. Lots of speculation but no evidence......The pool is general but if in case there is an internal preference at IIM A, we wouldn’t know. But it seems unlikely......If you go through PGPX GMATClub Forums 2019 to 2024, the trend has been around 8-10 WL conversions. Post R3 conversion has ranged from early February to first week of April (after the start of the session!)

I have been preparing for the GMAT for the past four years, initially enrolling in a Princeton Review classroom course in South Extension, Delhi. Following that, I joined Sandeep Gupta’s online classes, which are highly regarded and cater to the top one percent of test-takers. Despite my efforts, I still feel challenged, particularly with the verbal section and multi-source reasoning.

Could you kindly recommend a reputable coaching program that focuses on these specific areas? Additionally, I recently took the official mock exam on mba.com and scored 545. Any guidance you could provide would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

dhilavikash What works for many others may not necessarily work for you. When I was preparing for my GMAT several years ago, I signed up for a number of online courses and classes, only to realize that self-study worked best for me. Maintaining error logs for verbal question types was particularly useful in my journey. If you have been maintaining error logs, great, but if you aren’t, definitely try doing it because it will help you pinpoint the concepts you are not grasping well enough. You can join any weekend batches for in-person classes and meet with verbal tutors to get some one-on-one guidance. It really helped me, as my Jamboree tutor separately shared her best tricks and strategies, which helped me increase my score significantly.

Whether you take the GMAT or the GRE, you will need to set milestones and keep track of your error logs and concepts covered. If, after your first GMAT attempt, you still face challenges, you should consider switching to the GRE. You can read about that here.

When to switch to GRE from GMAT? Consider these to evaluate your plan : ISB

I am taking some extra time out to guide applicants this month. Feel free to connect should you want to discuss your case
