­Hello tshilpi031,

Hope this finds you well.

Certain crucial details are absent from your profile - for instance the details of your academic institution, the degree, your achievements at work, and other extra-curricular details. Besides, what are your career goals. 

Most importantly, what is the score you are applying with?

Detailed inputs will be needed for us to provide you with an understanding of your chances.

Thanks.

All the best!

­Hi! You will have to share details about your work experience to get a thorough evaluation. At an overall level your work experience seems to be pretty good and coming from a tech background I believe you can highlight some great stories from your work experience which showcase your leadership traits or the key initiatives you took and how it positively impacted the organization.

The extracurriculars are good as well and are worth highlighting since you have secured positions at state level.

You should also highlight your short-term and long-term goals and how IIMK PGP-BL will help you achieve those.

Now, all of these things need to be captured really well in your two essays (including optional essays) as well as your interviews.

We have 50+ mentors from different business schools on our platform IvyCrackers and few of them are on admissions interview panel of different universities. You can book a complimentary 30-mins call with us and one of the interview panelists will evaluate your profile in detail. In this call, we will delve deep into your profile, help you build an overall strategy for your essays, and answer any questions you have about the MBA program. ­

Hi, Can anyone guide me on how to write the essays asked in application form and also is it better to apply with only 76 percentile cat score or write GMAT, score better percentile and apply in R2 or R3
­Hi! If you feel that you can improve your score to 635~655 then it's worth taking a second shot and then apply in R2. We won't suggest R3.

Hello tshilpi031,

Hope this finds you well.

The CAT percentile is low; you should write the GMAT and apply in R2. R3 would be late and chances of making it would seriously diminish.

All the best!

­Hi

I saw a reply saying that 535 in GMAT Focus is equivalent to a 515 in GMAT Classic. Please don't get the wrong idea. A 535 in GMAT Focus is equivalent to a 560 or 570 in GMAT Classic, depending on your percentile.
Here is the detailed score analysis from GMAC itself: https://www.mba.com/exams/gmat-exam/scores/understanding-your-score

Thanks

I don’t think lowest score is mention in their website. Also it depends on ur backgroud and other factors. Also 535 = 515(GMAT classic) which is very low for any background. If you are any chance IT & engineer , please target above atleast 655+. As per me, the min GMAT score needed is 565+ for any background to atleast consider ur application.
­Sorry but you are wrong here. Please check the score analysis: https://www.mba.com/exams/gmat-exam/scores/understanding-your-score
