Hi Tridisha,

I am very grateful for your time and the valuable feedback you have provided.

I will definitely consider it while crafting my essays and attending interviews.

Regards
Daivat



Tridisha1
Hi Daivat,

You have strong experience and extracurricular that will enable you to secure admissions. It might be important for you to introspect why you didn't get in last time and how you can improve your interview skills. I am not sure of your total years of experience, but you would definitely need clarity on why you need an MBA now and what after that. You also should be able to justify it well in the interview.

PM for further queries.

Regards,
Tridisha

Can anyone evaluate my chances for acceptance at IIM A, B and C (re applicant for IIM_B (had received interview call in R2))?

• Background and nationality: Indian, Male, 27 years

• Undergrad Information:
o Bachelor in Chemical Engineer from Maharaja Sayajirao University, Vadodara, Gujarat, India

• GPA: 3.98 (Department Topper)

• GMAT: 690 ( Q49, V35, AWA5, IR5)

• Work Experience:
o Acting as Senior Executive Engineer and Engineering Consultant at Linde Engineering, member of the The Linde Group, World's Leading Gas Distributor.
o Currently, I am in Munich, Germany to execute feed engineering for US based $8.5 billion Ethylene cracker for the client Bechtel. I am being made familiar with the project so that in the later part, I will be bring the project engineering to Indian office, thereby executing the project by leading it with team of 4.
o I am the only one from our Indian office to learn a new technology of Butadiene complex from the licensor company named JSR. With this knowledge, I could execute its engineering for an ethylene complex of client Niznekamsknefthakim (Russia based). Such support has helped the company save 50 million euro by not outsourcing the engineering of butadiene complex. I have even developed a team so that engineering of such technology can be executed by Linde for the future projects, saving around 50 million euros to the company for each project.
o My diligent performance at the company gifted me an unusual promotion in terms of responsibility. It got me promoted to act as a discipline lead for a $6 billion Shell Ethylene Cracker Complex, a role exclusively reserved for seniors. As a lead, I was held responsible for all the technical deliverables and their necessary planning and execution. Such fast track transition from a sedulous team member to a discipline lead has helped company to develop a leader at very low cost.
o I have executed a 1-2 million euro Project as a Lead at South African site (2 months) for client Afrox. The primary task was to update the P&ID with the current status of the operating Air Separation Plants by discussing with client the scope of work, man-hour estimation, the Safety rules followed in the plant etc. I was appreciated by Client for following and making everyone follow the Linde Safety standards at the site, thereby increasing Linde’s reputation in the eyes of client.
o I was deputed to Munich, Germany to perform the task of aligning the vendor documents with the required standards for the project of Exxon Mobil owned $ 3 billion ethylene cracker complex. I was directly working with client Exxon Mobil, Main Work contractor Bechtel and few vendors such as Mitsubishi, dresser rand etc. The cost of the work was around 1.2 million Euros. The work was a major milestone in my career as I executed it perfectly with only 1 year of work experience.
o I was deputed to Munich, Germany second time to perform the task of Basic Engineering (Engineering phase when the plant design is being conceptualized) for $ 6 billion Shell owned Ethylene cracker complex. I was a part of project task force, regularly getting involved in meeting with client Shell and main work contractor Bechtel.
o I have worked with Clients such as Exxon Mobil, Shell, EIL etc. from various regions such as US, Russia, Europe, South Africa etc.
o I am recognized in the company for providing the idea of reducing the plastic bottle use. Such initiative has helped company reduce operating cost and improve employee’s health
o I have focussed and developed on the competency group such as Customer focus, Result Delivery, Embracing change, personal Development, Cross-cultural communication and Employee Development and Empowerment

• Achievements:
o Awarded three gold medal for achieving:
 highest aggregate score throughout Engineering
 highest score in Elective subjects ( Petroleum and Petrochemical subjects) in Engineering

Hi,
I hope I am reading the score right as 610. If you see last years average GMAT score of IIMs, it was about 710. You may consider to improve your GMAT to ensure an interview call.

I know it's on the lower side, I also understand that IIM A B and C are too difficult with this score. Do I have a chance with other IIMs like Lucknow, Indore and Udaipur?

No idea about Udaipur. But last year I guess Lucknow score was about 640-660. Indore in the similar range probably.

Hi,
Please evaluate my profile for IIM Lucknow IPMX, IIM Indore EPGP and IIM Calcutta MBAEx programs:
Male, 31
GMAT:640 (Q48,V30, IR8) in the first attempt
Workex: 9 years as an SAP Software Consultant, promoted thrice; changed 3 employers: Worked with Accenture for 4 years, HCL tech for 2 years and EY for 3 years. Now working with SAP.
Xth: 88%
XIIth: 80%
Graduation: 69% BTech (IT)
Extracurriculars: Volunteer exp in child education, feeding India, organizing events in college and in professional career. Volunteer experience in AAP(political party) for 2019 General Elections campaign and door to door ongoing campaign for 2020 Vidhan Sabha elections.
The problem is, I have taken the GMAT 4 times and could not improve on my score from 640. My last attempt was also a 640 but with lower IR5. I saw IIM Lucknow specifically asks for GMAT score report which has my attempts listed down, although cancelled because the other two scores were below 640. Does it weaken my profile?
I would highly appreciate if you could suggest any other programs matching my profile to which I can apply and reach my goals.
Post-MBA: I want to move into IT strategy consulting; same industry but a different and functional role.

Hi Gauranga,

Your profile is a good fit for the one year programs at IIMs. Target a GMAT score of 680-700 and you should be good to go. However, competition continues to remain intense and you should focus on your application and how you can stand out and make a mark.

PM for further queries.

Tridisha

Hi Pulak,

A minimum of 4 years of experience is necessary for IIM A. If you have 4 years of experience, aim for a 700+ GMAT score. Other than that, focus a lot on your profile and remember to highlight why even with a low work experience (lower than the class average), you deserve to be part of the MBA program.

Regards,
Tridisha

Hi Dev,

I have not heard of anyone get into IIM A, B & C with a 610 score in the last few years. You can try for IIM L and I; with a stellar application and SOP that might be possible.

PM for further queries.

Hi Equalizer, :)

IIM L and IIM I should be well within your reach with a 640 score. You can also try for XLRI, MDI and SP Jain. On the number of attempts, it should not impact your chances substantially; however be prepared to answer the reasons behind it.

Regards,

Hi,
Please evaluate my profile for IIM Lucknow IPMX, IIM Indore EPGP and IIM Calcutta MBAEx programs:
Male, 31
GMAT:640 (Q48,V30, IR8) in the first attempt
Workex: 9 years as an SAP Software Consultant, promoted thrice; changed 3 employers: Worked with Accenture for 4 years, HCL tech for 2 years and EY for 3 years. Now working with SAP.
Xth: 88%
XIIth: 80%
Graduation: 69% BTech (IT)
Extracurriculars: Volunteer exp in child education, feeding India, organizing events in college and in professional career. Volunteer experience in AAP(political party) for 2019 General Elections campaign and door to door ongoing campaign for 2020 Vidhan Sabha elections.
The problem is, I have taken the GMAT 4 times and could not improve on my score from 640. My last attempt was also a 640 but with lower IR5. I saw IIM Lucknow specifically asks for GMAT score report which has my attempts listed down, although cancelled because the other two scores were below 640. Does it weaken my profile?
I would highly appreciate if you could suggest any other programs matching my profile to which I can apply and reach my goals.
Post-MBA: I want to move into IT strategy consulting; same industry but a different and functional role.

Thanks for the evaluation and suggestion, Tridisha.
Does MDI even have a 1-year full-time program?

Hi Midhila,

MBA schools need to maintain average GMAT scores of the class and 650 is substantially lower than the current class average. You should try to increase your score by 30-50 points before you apply to ensure selection.

PM for further queries.

Regards,
Tridisha
