Hi All, I am a current year student in the PGPX One year full time MBA program at IIM A. Please feel free to post your queries regarding the PGPX Program and the application process and I will try to answer them to the best of my ability. Best of Luck..

Hi Want to know if you have anyone in your batch with more than 16 years experience. I have 16 years experience which will become 17 if I target 2020

Posted from my mobile device

Yes we do have every year a couple of people in that work experience range. However you have to be very clear about the why MBA question and convince the Profs in the interview to get an admit.

Hi,

Just wished to check what kind of roles are offered for people aiming to get into Fintech and the companies that recruit in this area?

Regards,
Murty.

We have a fairly good number of fintech companies visiting campus and offering a variety of roles. Linkedin profiles of past couple of batches will give you a good idea. I cannot get into more details due to non disclosure policy but will be happy to share in depth details to the admits at a later point of time.

Hello all, Glad to see activity already started for the IIMA PGPX 2021 class admit.
I am an alum from the 2016~17 batch and quite active across the forums like GMATClub, PagalGuy and you might also see me in the information seminars in Bengaluru. Please do reach out here or elsewhere in case of any clarifications.
My id is [email protected].
Please note: Profile evaluations are generally a waste of time, dont bother asking anyone to evaluate your profile.

Hi all,

Glad to see the thread. It ringed nostalgia bells. I was on the other side of the table last year. I applied to IIM A/B/C last year and got through them.

I am currently pursuing PGPX in IIM-A. A few of you have interacted with me during various webinars organized by the college.

I will be happy to help you all during the admission process so please feel free to reach out. And as our senior aniruddhams mentioned, profile evaluation is a time waste since everyone is unique and every year has a different batch composition.

Let's get started.

Thanks.

I've read on the institute's website that the average work-ex for PGPX students is around 10 years. I'll have a work ex of almost 5 years by March 2020. Do I stand to lose points because of my low work-ex?

The average work ex of our current batch is 8 years and 9 months. The youngest person has around 4.5 years work ex. There is a uniform mix of low , medium and high work ex people. So do not worry, you will not loose any points. There will be representation from each work experience category. All you need to do is outshine your peer group of low work ex people during the selection process.

That's fine. Thanks for all the contribution you are making in this thread. I appreciate it much! It's always pleasant to have current students visiting the application discussion threads and guiding applicants. :)

I am not aware of any WhatsApp group but we are organizing a lot of IIM chat sessions with current students. You have a great chance to meet some of the fellow applicants in those chats.

Check the following links and sign up for those chats
