hi, i have exp of 7 years with a largest manufacturing company, but due to major accident i wasnt in the job and have 5 years gap year with gmat score of 695, and in all my 10th 12th and UG GPA is 7.0%, can i apply for PGP?
For the PGP at Indian School of Business, the average work experience is around 4–5 years, so with 7+ years (and especially with a gap), you would be on the higher side of the cohort. That doesn’t disqualify you, but it does make positioning and placements slightly more challenging if your goals are very conventional.
That said, India has several strong programs specifically designed for candidates with higher experience, where your profile would fit more naturally such as PGPX, EPGP etc..
Your GMAT score of 695 is competitive for many of these programs. The key challenge will be how you:
Explain the 5-year gap (your accident can be a valid and strong context)
Show recent readiness (any upskilling, consulting, freelance, or transition effort helps)
Clearly articulate career goals
So instead of limiting yourself only to ISB PGP, I would strongly suggest targeting a mix of ISB + these executive programs where your profile has a better fit and higher conversion probability.
