Goalisb, Was SOP there in last year’s application?

Are there any noticeable changes in this years application process?

Also, another point to note: Online (at home) GMAT and GRE would not be accepted for EPGP 2024 intake.

Sharing here for reference:

SOP Guidelines for IIMB EPGP applicants 2024:

Provide an essay detailing your purpose in taking up this course of study at IIMB, including your future aims. The essay should be around 600 words and should be in simple and direct English and preferably typed in a readable pdf format.

Please note the length of the file name should be less than 40 characters (eg. for SOP - Name_SOP.PDF, for Category - Name_Category.PDF)

Nikhil

Does anyone know what are the guidelines for the Statement of Purpose? Is there a word limit?

Hi applicants,

Sharing some tips to keep in mind while writing your SOP:

- Spend more time in sharpening your axe. Jot down your professional, personal and extracurricular achievements in a blank page first (Do not self-reject anything). You can use these pointers for your application and SOP

- To make your intent clear, tie your past, present and future goals together. They cannot be one in each direction. For example, you started as an IT engineer, currently a tech lead, you need to mention your short term goal around technology - Eg. Tech consulting or product management

- Make your SOP personal; No, do not write a story of your heartbreak, did not mean that! Write about the situations who made you who you are today and share how you will add to the diversity of the cohort.

Feel free to reach out for more tips! I also make video content on GMAT and one year MBA, you can get more tips!

All the best!

Regards,
Kayalvizhi

I am unable to upload the GMAT score report downloaded from mba.com in the test score details section. I receive a prompt asking to upload a nonsecure/valid file. Anyone else facing this?

No. I forwarded it to others to check. They can open it without inserting any password. I downloaded another report from mba.com. Same issue. Other PDFs are getting uploaded but the official report is not.
