Official Thread: IIM-Kolkata PGPEX 2016-17 Aspirants!!

Hi I have more than 7 years of work experience into IT consulting for HR module. I am looking to make my career into HR Consulting and leadership development program. How good will be the PGPex course from IIMC for me ?

Hey Thoughtosphere, You definitely stand a good chance and opportunities after the program. The program becomes a level setter and unique opportunities. You may contact alumni and engage with more people on pagalguy for the opportunities.

When is the application process for IIM-C expected to begin ?

Dear joshnsit,

Thanks a lot. Where can I get in touch with the Alumni ? The IIM Cal website doesn't share the contact details.

PM pagalguy users for this year's and last year's group. They shall help you out.

Is there a maximum cap for experience for PGPEX admission ?

For Eg EPGP from IIM B says the course is for people with experience between 5 to 15 years. Is there something like that for IIM Cs PGPEX as well ?

I applied to both colleges and was selected to both. As per my information, only IIMB only has this higher cap of 15 years. Though, policies may change. You can call IIMC Admissions anytime to confirm that.

Hi All,

I want to pursue Management in Information Systems (Information management specialization).

Can you suggest which executive program offers this and which one of them is better?

I am looking for Indian 1Yr MBA's - IIM B, IIM C, ISB, SP Jain, XLRI.

Thanks,

Jigar

IIM A/B/C or ISB doesn't offer specialization for sure on their diploma/degree as such.

Your search is now narrowed to SP Jain and XLRI.
I think SP Jain only will offer MIS specifically as they do have such degree for their 2 year program, but you need to check.
