Hi Suraj, I am betting on the idea that you likely fell short in terms of presenting the uniqueness of your profile. And that may not be due to a lack of interesting prospects, but rather because you did not plan carefully how you would communicate the unique perspective you bring due to your specific experiences, both professional and personal. Your last round of applications to the IIMs could also be a reason, but the fact that you didn’t convert even IIM C is a major red flag regarding your preparation. Your achievements include a lot of technical jargon which is hard to make sense of from a business point of view and your goals dont seamlessly connect. It’s not always easy as a reapplicant because schools look at your profile and improvements even more critically. Your GMAT score would be the first area I would suggest you show improvement. In your case, I would highly suggest working with an experienced coach/mentor who understands what admissions teams look for and helps you put together the various pieces of your profile in a more cohesive manner.


Feel free to speak

I feel you were just a bit too shy on the experience / seniority required for the PGPX programs.
