I ask many consultants and they recommend that it is ok if you lie about your achievements.
should somebody do it?

We at MBA Decoder don't support lying blatantly in the application- some bit of exaggeration is okay but twisting facts and making up stories is not our style.

Eventually, you'd be the one defending yourself on your stories to the adcom and they are smart people who can see through the lie. I have heard the story of an applicant from a particularly influential alum of a top business school about how the applicant was lying about some swanky extracurricular activity during the interview, and the alum interviewer could see through the lie. The applicant was dinged.

i think its not about lying, but about packaging your exp/achievements in the proper positive manner!

Agreed, that's what most do with their resume as well. However, it's a fine line between packaging and exaggeration.
