Need help in planning my GMAT exam. I am targeting round 1 for iim A. However, I am yet to cover some course. Is it fine if I give my GMAT by 31st aug, provided I am confident with mock scores. Please help working backwards for R1 application.
Hey Bhumika

ofcourse it is ok to take exam by 07th Sept. if you feel ready.

But I think you are looking for validation than suggestion because you seem to have it all planned already. 😀

You don’t need to do anything extra for application of IIM A. Just fill form with gmat score.

you just get 3 days to write essays which may have different versions for different applicants.

Apply with fingers crossed.
GMAT is below average but experience might save you on it...

I am sure that you will get interview call. So be ready to write good essay response and do well in interview...

Stay positive 🙂

IIM A doesn’t have SOP, they give away essay questions to write in three days.

I guess for G/E/M category it is below average, but overall it may be close to average.

Since you have low experience in comparison to average experience at IIM A so you should try to compensate it with higher GMAT like 675

For lower scores than suggested, your chances will reduce sugnificantly ...

I think you should instead aim for ISB. You may have better chances there
