does colleges ask for " should be employed currently at the time of application "

what in case of carrier break? will those be considered

Isn’t it to be introduced from next year?

Hi everyone, I am planning to apply for IIMA in round 2. With only limited days to do so by design, any suggestions how to best proceed with this and any suggestion on which consultant I can hire?

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 will try to reach out. Thanks for the lead

what do consulting ppl provide ? cant we do it one own , just want to know how much support it is needed from outside

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.

Which consultant did you hire?

Thank u for letting us know. which consultant u prefer to take. if it is reasonable i will go ahead with it.

Aanchal Sahni of MBA Guide Consulting. My CV and essay look way better because of her.

Mainly targeting top 3 IIMs.

My 12th score is low - 71% - firstly how much could this affect my chances. Have a GFE score of 655.

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

Hello Gmat Expert
Though GMAT score is valid for 5 years, can someone guide me, IIMs and ISB consider GMAT scores for how long durations?

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.
