PGDM (GMP) Candidates may apply either through XAT 2017 or GMAT score (taken between December 01, 2014 and December 20, 2016).

I took my GMAT in Feb 2017, as the date is not in between the specified period, Am I not eligible to apply?

Hi nishant12600,

It seems that they have not updated the dates on their portal yet. I have edited the original post

In my IMO, your score should be valid for next year's intake.

Does anyone know how is the placement of the folks with 10 plus WE?

I have 10 plus WE and when I look at the profile for GMP, there are not enough folks with 10 plus WE. Is that a red flag for me?

Weird that I didn't hear anything from them after submission of application.

The application in itself seemed very inadequate.

Hi warriorguy

Exactly what I was thinking. Moreover, I am pretty sceptical about the process. No essay, no CV, no recommendation. How are they going to shortlist us? If it's solely based on GMAT then I am screwed!

Exactly. I have my doubts regarding their 1 year programme. The 2 year programme is reputed. Lets see. Did you check with the office?

I contacted them before starting my app to know about the min GMAT score req. They said that the last years cut off was 630. So I decided to apply.

I submitted the application on 31st Dec. Will call maybe after a week or so if I didn't hear anything from them. What's your GMAT score btw?

It's just the min cut off. Maybe the guy would have an exceptional profile. Who's to say. Even ISB admits guys with 620!!

Unless you work for Barack Obama making mini space shuttles 620 won't cut it.

I gave the GRE which they don't even consider.

To be competitive 700 is a must at Indian B-Schools.

With all due respect to stonecold, I would like to partially disagree. Indian b-schools, premier ones, in the past have admitted students from 650 onwards with exceptional profile and/or amazing extra-curricular activities.

Well that's disheartening to hear but it's actually true. They have a class avg of 680 though. But what's done is done. I can just wait and hope for the best.

Did you check with the office? They don't update the website frequently.

Since conversion format is available, I believe either should work here too.
