Hi,
Can anyone confirm whether Indian candidates are eligible for English Test Exemption, based on work experience in India or Bachelors in University with English as the medium of instruction?

If not, in how much time after applying do I need to provide the IELTS score to the Imperial Admissions Committee?

Anyway, I contacted Adcom and found out that the admissions process won't be hindered because of the English Test Score and they might ask for an IELTS score when they send the conditional offer if it comes to that.

I'm applying for R3 currently. Done with my initial submission and fee payment for the application, as well as personal statement and references. I dont see another submit or completed indication for closing the application process. Is there no action pending once you've uploaded all documents and references?

Hi All,

Received an admit for the Imperial FT MBA program!

Applied in Round 3 on 01/11.
Took the KIRA interview on 01/18.
Interviewed on 02/13 with an ex adcom member and current consultant.
Received on offer on 03/02.

I’m an Indian citizen living in the US. Have a bachelors degree in mechanical engineering from India and a Master of Science degree from a top 10 school in the US. I have around 5 years of work experience in the oil commodity trading industry. Applied with a GMAT waiver.

My question to the community is regarding scholarships. In the original email they stated that potential scholarship news would come later. How much later would that be and in what format? And if there’s an admits group chat, I would love to be added.

Good luck to everyone!

Hello everyone,

I have received an admit on the FT MBA programme at Imperial and look forward to connecting with others admitted.

I am a Pakistani citizen with a BBA from the Institute of Business Administration (IBA), Karachi. My work experience of 8 years stems largely from the LNG trading and project development space, and with a Japanese conglomerate.

I will also be happy to help any prospective applicants.

All the best to everyone!

Hi can anyone give an insight on the kira video assessment questions?

Posted from my mobile device

As far as i can recall-2 motivation-based questions which were the usual ones somewhat around why Mba? why now?

And there were questions hovering around what kind of leader I am....etc etc

My 2 cents would be: prepare your application materials well and whatever impromptu questions are asked just answer the first best thing that comes to your mind...
