I spoke to an alum. He said this is all about checking you writing style to make sure you only wrote your SOP.

You can be given any topic to write about and express your opinion

I don't think they will give us a choice for WAT topic. They will hand out a single topic to all the participants, an alum may throw more light on this though.

I have created a whatsapp group to pool resources and discuss interview preparation with other applicants. Please join the group:

Hi,
Can we expect any further calls for interview in R1.
I have one doubt; I have uploaded unofficial GMAT Score but do not requested GMAC for official score to send to IIM B. Do I request the GMAC for the score now? Will this be the reason that adcom will not consider the application for review?

Kindly help.

No, this should not be the reason. IIMB does not mandate for an official score card to be sent to the school.

Hello sandesh87

Past acads, brand on the CV is good. The GMAT is just slightly below the mean and should most likely not be an issue in your specific case.
Not sure what your career goals are though. Will play a vital role.
As long as you can tie in your career achievements with realistic career goals, you have a pretty good shot at EPGP.

Hi,

This is Arpit. I am targeting IIMB, IIM C , IIM I , IIM L only.

My GMAT score is 720 (Planning to take again with a target of 750-760)
10th - 74%
12th - 80%
B.Tech - 65.50%

I have around 9 years of experience overall. I started with Ericsson (Telecommunications) as a telecom Engineer and worked there for 5 years. Worked in Onsite projects in Romania, Greece and Egypt. Managed a team of 3-4 guys onsite and involved in a client facing role in Romania for 3 months.
Then through a competitive exam, I switched to Government sector in a partial administrative and audit role for 1 year but left to prepare for UPSC.

I developed an interest in teaching and mentoring so I started a small initiative to teach and guide aspirants of various exams through Youtube channel which currently has around 20,000 subscribers. My brand has a visible presence on facebook and Quora too. I write on Quora and have around 8000 subscribers. For a brief duration of 6 months , I worked in Ed-tech industry as a marketing manager after leaving Government job.

Currently I am working in CAG of India (Govt. Of India) as an Assistant Audit Officer (Gazetted) and will have around 2 years and 2 months of experience at the time of interview in current role. I lead a team of 3-4 members here on various audits (Financial audits and performance audits of various Government ministries and schemes), plus this job profile has elements of administration, people management, finance , accounting and IT. I am also involved in building an IT application for CAG (This involves some programming, database and product management part)

My GMAT score is 720 (Planning to take again with a target of 750-760)

My purpose of joining an Executive MBA is to get into in Ed-Tech or similar industry and then after getting some exposure at management level, start an educational initiative on my own. (something in area of Secondary and college education ).

Academics :

10th - 74%
12th - 80%
B.Tech - 65.50%

I am targeting IIMB, IIM C , IIM I , IIM L only. Is my profile good enough ? Where do I need improvement ? Please guide
