I'm from India with Bachelor (gpa:8.2/10)and Masters degree in metallurgical engineering and Material science(gpa:8.9/10).
I'm 28 yrs old with 1 year experience in technology excellence department at an integrated steel plant and since last 3 years I have been working as Assistant Professor, teaching undergraduate metallurgy and Material science courses.
I'm appearing for GMAT in October and confident of scoring 720+. I am very interested in pursuing a ph.d in following areas: sustainable management, environmental accounting, business policies, operations management.
I really need to assess my profile in regard to its appeal to admission commities.Other than few management courses, I don't have any business experience. I've enrolled for few edx courses hoping they would add some appeal and exhibit interest. Kindly let me know what kind of realistic aim I should set and if my profile can persuade commities into admitting me into their business ph.d. programme.
I'll be applying to iim's in india as well as international universities.
My main concern is regarding how admission comitties would factor my technical teaching experience.

Thanks and regards.

Hey there,
And good to hear from you!

Now, I'd LOVE to help you out and get down with your profile.

The thing is I am missing detail.

I need a LOT more info from you - school name, employer name, titles, promotions, greatest achievements, volunteer work, sports, community service, religious involvement, leadership.. etc. before I can give you a real evaluation.

But first of all, I have to say I'm not sure I understand why you want to do a Phd. Do you want to conduct research? Have you already done so? Have you any teaching experience? A PhD is an academic diploma that should lead you towards a professorship, and I don't see how you have that in business. (Although yes for metallurgy)

It will also be very helpful if you can elaborate upon your goals.

Have a look at some of the other very detailed profile requests on this board and do something similar and I'll be happy to get back to you.

Best,
JF


I hope this helps! And feel free to drop us a line for a free consultation.
