Really apprecite your view. Yes I am trying to pivot into leadership roles which my current profile may not end up taking me to. Pretty difficult to be honest with a pure engineering role. Also, I work actively in AI so I know the engineering roles may be sunsetting in another decade from now.

And also you have to check if you are focusing on growth or for salary increase

I am trying to pivot from engineering roles into strategy and consulting. I understand it is a risk but I believe the growth might follow. Please tell me your two cents too.

but predominantly from what I have read in blogs and testimonials
It is great program to get into a leadership position within your industry

Really apprecite your view. Yes I am trying to pivot into leadership roles which my current profile may not end up taking me to.

WA@wzu241

but since you are from NIT
Try if you can pivot without an MBA

60 days isn’t even sufficient

For a 100 point increase, don’t you think 60 days is good enough ?

Any inputs on what range of score I should be targetting ?

Hi guys,

I am new to the IIM-A PGPX application process. I know that IIM-A requires a resume for the first round of screening - are their some general guidelines one should follow for it?

Also, I see that candidates are selected on the basis of their resume upon which they are asked to write 3 essays over a few days. Are there certain patterns to these essays each year or do they differ substantially.

Also are their some consultants/self-help groups to help us through the IIM-A PGPX application and admission process?

Hi fam.

I just gave my first Official GMAT mock after 4 months of self-prep and here is where my score stands.
I can see that I have to improve on a number of factors to get to my target 695+, while the most effort has to be given on Data Insights.
My final FE is in June last week which leaves me with 60 days of preparation. Can anyone suggest me what would be a goood course for 2 months that can substantially help me improve my DI score.

dont let this mocks make you/break you. only see these mocks as practicing a way for giving exam. don’t decide or guess your score for official exam on basis of these mock. and if you’re planning to give exam from test center, i suggest you buy and use a mouse, sketch pad and dry erase pen and yes noise cancellation earbuds if necessary so that you are habituated with exam experience.

Hi odd_major

The resume follows the basic MBA format (experience first, then education, and finally the additional information section).
The essay questions largely remain unchanged, so you should be ready with the drafts before you receive the invite. Not getting an invite is highly unlikely in the IIM A admissions process. The essays and the interview are the most important parts of the process. In a way, the essays help you prepare for the in-depth interviews. I work extensively with diverse profiles on IIM A applications and interviews. Feel free to reach out if you would like guidance. Here are some of the IIM A specific resources I have shared in the past.
