Calling all IIM Ahmedabad PGPX Applicants (2022 Intake, Class of 2023)

Folks,

Much awaited IIM-Ahmedabad PGPX has released the application deadlines. Let's connect and know about each other who are planning for Round-1. All the Best.

Folks,

A couple of current PGPX students (including myself) are running a non-profit initiative to assist students who are targeting admissions this year. This initiative of course extends guidance for all 1-year programmes in India.

Please feel free to reach out to us. Sharing a link to my post on LinkedIn.

Do you anticipate any changes to the IIM-A application this year?
_________________

There is no such indication yet. It’s just that the application process currently states that there will be in person interviews (dates are populated against cities). However, given the current conditions, I believe interviews will still be online.

One more thing to note is that the average GMAT & GRE scores have increased for the current batch (2021-22) over the 2019-20 batch (source for this info are the news reports which carried the news of the inauguration of the 16th batch of PGPX) . One can expect that the average will remain the same and may even increase.

Candidates should expect tough competition and be better prepared ! Hence, we decided to launch the non-profit initiative to help out aspirants this year ! 😇

are the Indian B-schools accepting online Gmat score this year ?
_________________

Yes. Due to the ongoing pandemic, I believe most of them would continue to accept GMAT Online scores. IIMA is doing that already.

it is likely that your interviews were a major reason for the unsuccessful attempt. It sucks to receive 3 dings, but try and analyse where you went wrong in the interviews? Did anything stand out for you during the interviews?

I don’t believe your gmat score was the reason for the rejections. if that were so, you wouldn’t have received all the 3 invites. at the same time, it’s not really that low to be rejected by all 3. I would rather suggest to invest time in introspecting where you went wrong and then take steps accordingly.

Hope that makes sense.

Thanks for sharing. It would also help if you could share any specific doubts/questions that you have. Otherwise it’s quite difficult to provide objective answers or feedback

**[This is a non-profit initiative]**

(Re-posting with full background info about the programme)

We are a group of students from IIMA (PGPX Class of 2022) trying to make a positive impact on the community!

As India continues its fight against Covid-19, many students are working very hard to get into a B-school of their choice in the coming months. Many of us faced the same dilemmas that many of you are facing today.

During these tough times last year, many of our seniors reached out and provided us the much needed clarity. Thus, we just want to pay it forward by helping those aspiring B-school students who are in need of guidance related (but not limited) to the following -

1. GMAT/GRE Prep
2. Profile Review & School Selection
3. Assistance with the Application process
4. Interview Prep

** NOTE : Many of us had multiple admits across IIMA, IIMB, IIMC, ISB, and a few US B-schools **

So what are you waiting for ? Click on the link below and let us know about yourself and your goals so that we can arrange a 1-1 chat between you and a suitable mentor.

We hope you #PayItForward by donating an amount worth your cup of coffee towards any social cause (such as Covid-19 relief)

Disclaimer : This is a pro-bono voluntary initiative by a group of students and is neither driven nor associated with any institute

Can anyone confirm does IR score plays an important role for pgpx or only the gmat score is enough?

This isn’t very important. GMAT scores are more important . However, if you have a low IR score, be ready to justify the same

But will that be point of rejection? If i can explain

If i have a gud gmat score

I honestly do not believe that IR itself will be the sole reason for not getting selected. If they shortlist your profile, you can assume that your applciation is good enough to be reviewed. Post that it all depends on your overall profile score in comparison to other candidates. Interviewers may look for weaknesses in your application.

Just like your undergrad or school scores. People are asked about low acad scores quite often. But you can always find a way around these tricky questions.

And if u have two gmat scores, with one having gud IR decent gmat score and next one with higher gmat score but lower score.. Sharing both score will justify that i am not weak though?

Gmat :710 ir:7 and Gmat :750 ir:2
