Hi Mandard,

You have a strong profile that is primed for B-schools. However, along with a good GMAT score, a strong application and impactful essays will be essential to ensure admission.

Hi All,
Request your thoughts on my profile for the executive MBA from IIM A or B for 2021 or 2022.

Profile:
Nationality: Indian
Gender: Male
Age: 29
SSC: 90.1 % State Board
HSC: 87.8 % State Board
Bachelor of Engineering in Electronics and Telecommunication with 74 %.
GMAT: Yet to take, expecting a score of 700- 730(taking in November) thinking of applying in R3 or R1 next year.
Work Experience: Will be 8 years 3 months in March 2021 or 9 years 3 months in March 2022
Details:
1) I am a developer programmer who has worked for last 7 years as a hardcore developer across various domains (insurance, health care, government, and banking mortgage) and clients. Out of 7 years I have worked mostly on Client sites for Indian as well as international clients. I graduated from a developer to a designer/architect role during these years.
2) I am currently working as a technical consultant for clients in south Australia and my role has shifted from being a developer working in silos to client interaction. In my current role, I visit my clients and gather information on their IT processes and systems, and I provide them consultation on how to modernize or improve their current processes and IT systems. The job also involves visiting client locations and providing technical guidance and delivering coding assignments as well. This role is more interaction oriented as compared to my previous role.
3) I have also helped with pre-sales in my current role by helping the salespeople with RFA proposals.
4) I am working in Australia since last 2 years.
Extracurricular Activities
1) I was the secretary of department student body.
2) I maintain a personal technical blog where I contribute the experiences I had during my work on various assignments.
3) Winner of 28 medals in Microsoft’s official Wiki writing monthly competition
4) I regularly speak in various international tech conferences and have spoken in 15 different conferences till date.
5) I also help-out people with their technical problems in my free time.
Hobbies
1) Playing Piano: I like playing classical music on piano
2) Cooking: I enjoy Indian and Italian cuisines
Why MBA?
I love technology and I love helping people adopt pertinent technologies to solve their business problems. Post my MBA I see myself in a role where I will help the organization achieve their objectives through a holistic IT and people strategy.

Rohan,

Your profile looks decent from the face of it. With a GMAT score close to 700s, you should target IIMA's 1-year program as it is positioned well to professionals with 10+ years of experience.

A couple of data points would help the evaluation further:
1. Your grad school
2. Your scores (all through)
3. What have been your achievements in all these years?

Take time to reflect on your goals, and pre-prepare to make sure you have enough time left for your application post GMAT.
Hope this helps.

Cheers!
Team - TopTier

Hi Rohan,

With the limited information given here, your profile looks suitable for the leading Indian B-schools. A good GMAT score will be necessary though; aim for 700 and anything 20 points above or below it.

However, a strong application and clear, impressive SOP/essays will be necessary, especially since you have moved around multiple roles. Additionally, clarity of thought on your future goals will play a key role in selection.

Regards,
Tridisha

Your profile is very competitive for the programme. However, IIM-B average GMAT is at around 700. So, you should work on your score. at least 680 would be the good score to get interview call. All the best.

Hi Swati,

Your profile is competitive, but you would need a much higher GMAT score. Aim for 700 (+-20) to meet the class average. Do you have any extra-curriculars to stand out? Also, focus on building a strong application and use your essays well to differentiate your profile.

Regards,

Thank you.

I am aiming at a 700+ score and planning to appear for the GMAT in the next month. Do you think this time is enough for me to bridge the gap ebtween the current and targeted score alongside a job.

Also, i have not had any major participation in extra curricular. Does this weaken my profile?

Hi whitemiror

Great to see another person from Samsung R&D. Have worked with several people from there.

- Your academics are decent, and if you are able to hit your target GMAT score of 720+, you should be in good shape on the academic parameters. Please note that your current GMAT of 700 is not insufficient either, but yes a higher score does help.
- You are not the typical IT applicant. Your work in embedded software, your understanding of resource-constrained platforms (Android Go), and your work with Qualcomm and Google do give you an edge. Make sure you build on this edge.
- ECA seems decent. Curious to know more about the stunts - they seem very interesting (not too relevant from the app perspective though).
- Your goals are in line with your work and the EPGP, but you will need to go deeper with them. IIMB attracts hundreds of aspirants each year from technology backgrounds who want to be product managers.


Hope this helps. Feel free to come back with more queries as needed or to contact us directly for a chat.

Hi Admin

Can you please look at my profile for one year MBA in IIM’s

I have 5 years of international exposure in 11 different countries , 3 different continents. I work in Upstream Oil and Gas from last 12 years out of which 8 are in field . I work on Oil and Gas Rigs to determine where is the oil in the rock formation .

Hi arvindjasrotia

First, kudos on your hard work and growth. Some very impressive achievements there.

Here is what we suggest on your MBA applications:
- Before you begin, evaluate what growth you can get through the MBA at this point. You are already a principal consultant, and should have very clear reasons (both for yourself and your application) on why you feel you need an MBA now.
- With 14+ years of experience, you are on the (much) higher side of the work experience spectrum, and should reconsider applying to IIMB at all (see the class profile here: https://www.iimb.ac.in/node/217/).
- A GMAT score of 560 is on the lower side, and you should focus on enhancing that 100+ points. There are also options of part-time programs (ISB PGPMAX, for instance) that do not require the GMAT and will enable you to continue to work even as you get your MBA. On the IIM side, apart from IIM A/C, do look at IIML and IIMI as well, if they fit your aspirations.

Hope this helps. Feel free to come back with more queries as needed.

Hi vikgupta07

Interesting profile there. The analytics work is quite interesting. The only two things to focus on are the GMAT (raise a big if you can, you are capable of a Q50 for sure), and clear reasoning in terms of goals and the need for an MBA, especially given 4 jobs in 7.5 years.


Hope this helps. Feel free to come back with more queries as needed or to reach out directly for a chat (pl reference this discussion in your email if you do).

Hi Shan1608

You have 10+ years of experience, and that is veering towards the higher side, so please consider IIMA/C as options as well. If you get a 700+ on the GMAT, you should have a shot at those. Would love to understand more about your experience, especially the transition from SBI to PNB, the branches you managed, and more about your extra-curricular involvement as well.

Hi aggvipul

Your work certainly has differentiation, with your roles at Ashok Leyland and Amazon. Assuming that this was all operations related.

Your GMAT at 690 might well work, but if you have a chance, raise it to 700+. May be very useful, especially this year. Target IIM A/B/C. Bright chances at all, with decent applications. Apart from these, you could look at ISB too.
