Are these numbers for MBA specifically or does it include other courses?

These numbers are across all courses. For MBA - it’s 13 on 15 admits for 2026 intake as of now. Still counting 🧿

Hello, I want to apply in LBS MIM program starting in 2027. What is the avg GMAT score for it?

Ideal would be anything above a 655+ FE. Essentially because out of the 3 profiles that matter - academics (CGPA + GMAT/GRE), professional (internships + work experience), and extracurricular (you’ve enough time to build on this even if right now it’s not in a good shape considering you’ve 6-7 months easy)- academics is the only profile that’s not “subjective”. Rest everything can be built upon through brainstorming etc.

655+ is when I’m extremely confident of a profile. Though people do get in with 615 FE too (a person we helped last year got a 100% scholarship for LBS masters with a 615 FE).

Hi SkyWeb,

A lot depends on your overall profile and the demographic you represent.

That said, broadly speaking, you should look at a 675+ on the GMAT to help differentiate your case from others.

We encourage you to inquire with us so we can schedule a free strategy session for guiding you.

Thanks and all the best!

Hi everyone - I’ve collated all the MoMs shared by Swati, Sheeza, and Krishna (thanks so much, guys!). This should give everyone a one-stop place to access them through the week and also help new members catch up easily.

Going forward, anyone sharing MoMs, please add them to this link - I’ve given editor access to everyone. Hope this helps.

Hello,

Congratulations on your GMAT! It’s amazing that you had the clarity to get done with it by your first year itself.

The base profile looks strong! Just make sure that the decisions you take in the coming years are optimised too and you’ll be golden.

For instance, if you’ve clarity about finance as an industry - actively try to figure internships in the same (doesn’t matter if it’s a boutique firm or a bulge bracket. Try exploring different industries within finance though to get clarity about which one you want to get into).

Try to explore extra curriculars in a similar field too. Example - initiating an NGO to teach tax planning and investing to acid attack victims.

For more details, you can reach out to me on +91 99714 44312
