The EPGP is a highly prestigious one-year program, as can be seen from the admission statistics (click below) as well as the small batch size that IIMB caters to. The program is IIMB’s response to similar programs launched by other IIMs (for example, the PGPX at IIM Ahmedabad and the PGPEX at IIM Calcutta) as well as the ISB PGP. In a short duration of time since its launch six years ago, the IIMB EPGP has made a strong name for itself, and is a much sought-after program among mid-career professionals.
Contrary to other similar programs, the IIMB EPGP has only one ‘essay’ as part of its admissions process.
This is the Statement of Purpose (SOP), and it is usually capped at an upper limit of 750 words. The SOP is your opportunity to explain why you wish to pursue the EPGP and and how it will help you to attain your career goals. A description of your background and why you wish to pursue an MBA is important too. Apart from the SOP, the IIMB EPGP program does not give applicants any other opportunity to highlight their reasons for wanting to be part of the program. With a class size of just 58, the program is bound to be very selective.
