Hi Sarthak

Very nice profile not just for IIM A but for any other school as well.

AIM to get a GMAT score minimum 655. Higher score would mean better chances

And start working on GK related to your field of interest, fields of achievements and passions and field of work

*Work Experience*

2013- 2014 (1 Years)
Automobile Manufacturing OEM: Worked in Supply chain and Sourcing

2014 to 2025:
Worked in Oil and Gas Sales, Marketing and Plant Operations.

Secured All India rank 91 in GATE 2014.

How much GMAT Score would be safe for IIMA PGPX?
anubhav2591, you have covered both sales as well as plant operations in whatever oil PSU you are working. This is a good selling point for you. You have studied in NIT and secured a good AIR in GATE. So the consistent excellence is there.

Hoping you can add on few points on extra curricular. You should target 655+ to be relatively comfortable while applying.

Can anyone help me in evalution of my profile as in how much GMAT score should I target for top B schools

10th 9.2 CGPA
12th 90 percent
BBA 71 percent
CA 62 percent

Over 6 years of work exp in 3 companies:
1. Vizag Steel
2. Maruti Suzuki
3. Agi greenpac

Currently working as an internal auditor in AGI greenpac
The avg GMAT score for most IIMs is around 645 (+-10); you should aim for a similar score. However, if you do end up scoring less, see how else you can stand out. A lot of magic can happen on applications and essays too that can help you secure admissions. We have worked with many candidates and helped them get in at much lower score just by uplifting their application and essays and ensuring that they stand out!
Reach out if you need help from IIM Alumni who are helping applicants from 7+ years.

Hi Gmataspirant2521, With 12+ years of work experience, what colleges expect is two things primarily - a) You bring strong domain/functional knowledge of the industry you have worked b) A strong reason for opting for MBA at this stage.

From the profile perspective since you have consistently performed and you have a variety of experience not only limited to project management part; the profile will not be an issue in your selection. Focus on the two above mentioned item during application/interview. For shortlist, try to get a GMAT above 645, it should be decent enough to get shortlisted in IIMA.
Best Wishes.

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