Essays in IIM Calcutta Application Form [#permalink] New post   08 Oct 2019, 00:22
Hello Guys,

Hope you all are doing great !!
I was attempting to complete my application form for IIM-C PGPEX Round 2, however I realized that there is no option to provide an SoP in the entire form. The only option I get is at Step 8 where there is a provision of an Optional Essay which states below as per the form
"Anything else you would like to highlight in support of your application (word limit 300 words)"

Please confirm if there is no requirement of an SoP for the 2020-21 admissions?

typically people use to highlight something not covered in other essays. example: poor grades in exams, act of bravery, extra ordinary stuff done.
