Hi @ruhanqureshi,
Thanks for sharing your profile.

Public Sector Banking profiles are well received by Indian B Schools and you have handled areas across credits, deposits and bank products. So work experience wise, your profile is strong.

The academic scores are on a lower side, but with 6+ years of work experience, it doesnt matter a lot.

The colleges, extra curriculars etc also matter in profile, but we are assuming it will be good.

No GMAT score can guarantee admission and much depends on your interview performance, after the shortlist. For shortlist, a 645+ GMAT FE will be needed to be competitive enough. Generally, in our experience, Public Sector bank people have needed lower GMAT to qualify compared to people from other profiles.

Again, assuming you are from General category as assessment may vary for other categories.

Best of luck for your future!

Can anyone please tell me what is the word limit for SOP for IIM B?
Is it written somewhere that these many words is the word limit?

Thanks in advance.

This depends, you can provide the official work email-id but you have to make sure about the settings that it does not forward the incoming mail to spam.

I have a question. Say I apply to round 2 and get an admit. I have to accept by Nov. Does accepting the offer mean, I have to deposit a non-refundable fee? If yes, how much is that? What if I plan to join some other school?

You forfeit the amount that is paid as commitment fees incase you choose not to join the course

3lakh non refundable fee. You’ll be given 10 days to withdraw that. In case you don’t do that, the 3 lakh goes away

I am applying for R2, but before final submission, I previewed the application for checking the details, however the preview document does not show my work experience, it just shows the name of the first organisation and nothing else. Is anyone else experiencing this issue? What could be the possible reason?
