I highly recommend Aanchal Sahni from MBA Guide Consulting. I have availed of her help and found her to be kind but firm, and very supportive. But with just two weeks to go for R2 deadline, I think it's a little bit too late to rope in a consultant. But give it a shot nonetheless. All the best!

I have seen a mix bag with people clearing without a consultation and improving the profile with consultation. So I guess it totally depends on how confident you are and whether your storyline is clear or not.

Last year I applied on my own. This year, took professional help and can vouch for its efficacy. The CV for B-school, the essays... They look much better now than they did last year. B-school CV or the achievements CV is different from our usual, job-hunting CV.
If you want to leave no stone unturned, it makes sense to work with a consultant.

Although 12th score and Graduation GPA is on the lower side, GMAT Score is decent. You should definitely be clear with what do you want out of the program i.e. Given you are running your own venture currently, where and why does IIM fit in that journey? Would be good if you could bring out more flavours related to your leadership & stakeholder management skills. EC and Pro-bono have some strong points. If you are able to articulate your journey and goals in a structured and logical manner via your application and essays, that can really help boost your chances. Would be good to know your undergrad college as well. It is very difficult to evaluate chances based on 12th score alone. Quality of your overall application plays a significant role in selection

Hi everyone,
I had a query regarding the application form.
In the career section, they ask for relevant docs. What are these docs specifically? Also do we have a separate place to upload resume or is it in the same 1000 charcter box?

Also, can we create separate line items for the same company in career section? One describing my early roles and one describing role after promotion? If yes, then what relevant docs should be uploaded in this case.
