When’s the right time to take GMAT Focus for IIM B round 2? And what’s a safe score range?

My profile:

6.5 yrs work ex (civil + interiors)

Age 30 | UG 63% | 12th 95% | 10th 88% | no intl exposure

Highlights: grew partner leads by 30% & conv. by 20%, reduced ops cost 15%, resolved 95% client complaints within 48 hrs

Tbh feeling a bit pressurised before writing, any advice would help 🙏
The avg score is around 645; but remember that is just the avg score; a lot of students have scores less than that. We have worked with multiple candidates with much lower scores and helped them secure admission at top IIMs.
reach out if you need help with your applications and essays/SOP.

The class has candidates from 5-10+ years of experience. Usually 8 yrs is the avg experience in each batch!

@bb & others might be confused what it is means .... It just represents a social category, that suffered from the caste system and has inherent disadvantages due to it and constitutional provisions are provided such that they are not unfairly denied opportunities. - Assumption being a OBC category candidate needs to put in more effort than a General Category candidate to secure the same marks.


TL;DR
A provision similar to affirmative action

etdolores, With a great academic background and PSU sales experience, a 625-635 will be decent enough for you to be competitive. You can target higher to get the best out of you. Exam date depends more on your preparation level than the application deadlines, so whenever you feel confident to score in your target range. Of course to apply in R2, you would ideally want to get scores in hand by around Sep 20 to provide yourself some time to prepare for application and SOP.

good profile, aim o complete GMAt atleast 15 days before deadline. A strong application and SOP will be needed considering your years of exp. Also PSU candidates apply in very large numbers every year, and you will need to stand out of the crowd.
reach out if you need help in your application or SOP/essays.

Hi Valm1994, The Work experience in Siemens will be much appreciated. Being the cricket team captain in a cricket mad nation is not easy, this will add good points to your application.

But the acads including GRE is on the lower side. It may be the reason that the marks itself are not provided so liberally in UPTU. But GRE should be improved. A 310 will find it hard to compete or sometimes even to shortlist.

Please note that IIMB has reservations, so unless specified, this is the evaluation for a general candidate. GRE requirements may differ across categories.

Hi,
The first test date in Oct is too close, its not recommended to target that without a strong prep. The process is quite competitive. Its a good idea to target the Jan test. That will be doable if you start on time.

The prep for this wouldn't quite be on the lines of GMAT, closer to CAT but not that difficulty level. Feel free to check this resource on the IIMB Test.

All the best!

Hey All,
I’m planning to apply for the IIM Bangalore PGPEM (Weekend MBA) program.

Can anyone suggest the best approach to prepare for the IIMB entrance test scheduled in Oct/Jan?

I haven’t prepared for GMAT/CAT earlier, so starting fresh.

Would appreciate any tips, prep strategies, or resources. 🙏
