Hi, 
I have 5+ years of experience in Information Technology (currently working with an Insurance Company).
What is the minimum GMAT score required to have a chance of getting an admit ,as the competition for an IT male is fierce?

Nina1987 · Answer

How was the employment statistics for the latest batch of IIML's IPMX? Unlike A, B, C, IIML doesnt share these details in its brochure or website.

IPMX · Answer

Ankit,

As GMAT is just one part of your overall profile, there is no criteria of min or max GMAT score. Candidates are evaluated based on their complete profile.

IPMX · Answer

Hi,

At IIM Lucknow, we don’t disclose our placement statistics. We have always stressed on our knowledge development. Though, we can assure that our placements are at par with any leading institute in the country.

Hi,

I am a female with 10 years IT experience (with around 3 years international experience). I recently took GMAT and scored 690 (Q50v34). I have a diverse experience in technology consulting (including that of telecom, e-commerce and PLM products). I am looking for advise on following aspects:
a. My chances of getting an interview call with this score (I understand that a 690 hovers slightly below average)
b. Focus areas on writing SOP (should it be strictly professional or some its worth including a personal flavor to it).
c. Job prospects after completing IPMX for a person with a profile like mine (I am keen on higher roles in Tech consulting more focused around products)

Would be great if you can advise or give me a contact where I can connect with a current student/alumni over email/phone.

Kind Regards
Richa

Thank you Team IPMX for starting this thread. I just updated the first post with data tables and deadlines for the 2017-18 admission calendar.

I request all applicants to add IIM Lucknow IPMX program to your MBA timeline so that the applicant stats displayed on the first post reflect true picture of admissions. While adding the program, MAKE SURE you are setting it for graduation year i.e. 'Class of 2018'.
