Hi MuditJain5,

When it comes to IIM A, your experience is just at the borderline, nonetheless, you should still apply; it would have been nice to see a 675+ on the GMAT as that is around the median but with a set of compelling essays, you should still give both schools a shot.

We encourage you to inquire with us so we can schedule a free strategy session for guiding you.

Thanks and all the best!

Hi dhilavikash,

You should definitely retake the GMAT and apply with a higher score.

In case you are looking to improve your score, we encourage you to take 7-day free trialto our GMAT course.

Thanks and all the best!

Is it better to apply with 545±20 score for a train driver/station controller with 8 years of in Delhi metro or apply with higher score in third round.

It’s not GMAT based admission process.

675 is a very good score for a candidate to apply. I won’t encourage someone for no reason to chase a 700+ when IIM ABC and ISB are at target specially when R2 deadlines aren’t too far

Hello ExpertsGlobal and GMATinsight, when we are talking about scores of 675/700 being median, is it GMAT classic or focus? Regards.

Nothing like a safe score per se because the GMAT is only one component of the application. A 675+ is the median; so, the higher your score, the better it will be. A 705+ on the GMAT will be stellar.

All the best!

Always confirm with the pgpx iim A webpage.
The webpage says the avg GMAT score is 690 for old format and 645 for GMAT focus. And 322 GRE score.
Also, remeber that this is avg score, so a lot of people have got in with scores lower than this.

We have personally worked with candidates at 640 old GMAT score and helped them get into top iims

Hi cumimpedit,

By default, we are talking about GMAT Focus when we refer to a GMAT score now.

Hope that helps.

Thanks.

I have a 655 in FE-91 percentile. Due for interview on 4th Oct at IIMA . Just wanted to know the median scores in focus edition. 675+ (FE) seems to be on a higher side IMHO.

I don’t speak the language of GMAT Classic now, as it is extinct.

I speak the language of only GMAT focus now... so all discussion done by me regarding GMAT is keeping Focus edition in mind

What is the recommended interview attire for women? Does a long kurti with leggings work or are pantsuits with a blazer strongly reocmmended?
Wear formals and anything that you are comfortable in. A kurta and leggings also work, should not be too flashy though. Saree, salwar are also formal wear if worn appropriately.
