PSU-TO-PRIVATE, any chance of getting ABC for 595 with OBC reservation?
5 years oil PSU retail sales experience
10/12/btech (10/95.2/9.04 from NIT Surathkal)
In A and B, yes, there is a chance but probability of conversion is not that high. Considering OBC part, it will be better to have 615+. Otherwise your profile is good overall, good acads, good college. For C as well, a 615-625 will help in shortlist. Please try if you can improve by even 20 points atleast, looking at your scores in 10/12/btech, it seems doable.

Hi...just to let you know for one year admissions IIMs don’t consider reservations in any category...for IIMA and B your GMAT score of 595 is a little shy....maybe there is a shot for IIM C ...
Please refer to official website and brochure of IIMA, IIMB to get the latest authentic information. They have introduced reservations recently.

Also, not to spam the group, this discussion should move to IIMA or B group, rather IIML group. Thanks.

Everything is good but since you have more experience than many of these schools prefer so tread cautiously.

Apply everywhere and be prepared to explain on higher experience aspect.

International work experience is valued in all the colleges. So even with slightly lower GMAT, you have chance in IIML and IIMI. IIMC may be more challenging, but worth a shot. IIMK chance will be similar to IIML, IIMI.
Essays and Interview need to be better than most other guys to offset GMAT.

Any chance of getting C or K or L or I with GMAT 635

11+ years exp in retail banking sector - branch head
+ Very good certifications in banking sector
+ multiple achievements

Presently in career break for almost 2 years!!
Yes, nothing in profile will stop you. IIMK cohort has much lower work ex, so in IIMK, it may be challenging. For IIMC, most probably you should get a interview call (not sure for R3 though). In IIMI and IIML, good chances. Apply with good preparation, it upto you how you grab the chance.

You will never know unless you apply

And you should apply because there are chances...

Just to share with you an example of motivation

A candidate of mine with GMAT classic 620 (equivalent to focus 575) converted IIM C last year...

So it’s possible ... 😇
