Can someone please guide me on my chances for Great Lakes (1 year PGPM)

GMAT : 610 : (Quant : 47 Verbal : 28)
IT Experience: 3 years (by next year June would be around 4 years)
experience with IT MNC in Service Management and Cloud Enterprise Tools


Academics : 10th -> 91%
12th -> 84%
B.Tech CGPA -> 7.35/10

Certifications: ServiceNow admin,ITIL,Business Analysis

The weakener for me is GMAT score but I read that GMAT cutoff is around 600.
Any chances for interview call ?

Any other good B schools that might consider this profile ??
Please suggest.

Hi,
You have good chances of getting shortlisted, but since its an overall profile based shortlisting, other details like your job profile, academics, essay content, achievements etc will also be taken into account before making an interview call to you.

I would suggest you to apply in the first cycle itself. App. Deadline for PGPM Cycle 1 is 30th Nov, 2017.

Link to application form is- https://bit.ly/pm18app
To download brochure you may visit- https://bit.ly/2idMIzZ

You may get a call from great lakes based on you profile and score. The cutoff in great lakes is not very high.

Hi All,

I have scored a 610 in GMAT (Q 40 V 34). I plan to finalize this score. I have over 5 years of IT experience with 2 companies. I have been into software development and consultancy both throughout my career.

What are my chances of admission in Great Lakes for the 2020 batch? Any help would be appreciated.
