Hi PG could u throw some more light on the INSEAD & IMD progs.
For a guy with avg acdas+IIT backgrnd & exp in IT how much score is needed & how many yrs of exp is reqiured ? How much would it cost? What r the foreign placement prospects?

[pagalguy]

To figure out their current admitted students profile, all you need to do is visit their websites and see their current class profile.. I hope you've done that .. haven't you ?. Based on what I've seen and read, IMD and INSEAD are both 1 year programmes, but the avg. age of entry @ IMD is higher than @ INSEAD.

INSEAD focusses more on your global experiences, while IMD is more focussed on your managerial experiences.

Would appreciate if you could give your valuable suggestions ...

I guess this thread would have more to do with those who have given the GMAT and are in the process of preparing their applications n stuff. But if i can help anyone out with the test prep, then i would be more than happy to do that.
First of all, i'll give my profile :
Xth : 88%
XIIth : 80%
B.E. Mechanical Engg. : 72%
Been working for the last one year with Tata Consultancy Services in Gurgaon

Well, I gave the GMAT exactly one month back and got a score of 760 with individual scores of verbal-41 and quant-50. Got a 5.5 in AWA. I prepared for just over a month and studied from Kaplan and Princeton only, though i gave a lot of practice tests in the last 2 weeks before the exam.

And now that i have the score with me,where do i go from here ? The main thing lacking in my bag right now is the work-ex. I guess the GMAT score is good enough and my acads would also suffice. But a work-ex of just one year (which will be two years by the time i join anywhere in 2006 fall) might not be too attractive for a B-school.

Would really appreciate if anyone out there who has already gone through the process of shortlisting universities in the US would help me out and guide me as to how to shortlist. Or which universities i should target with my kind of profile. I'm sure i can learn from others' experience and if i can help out anyone, that would be even better.

Let's keep this thread going and help each other in getting to the B-schools of our choice.....

Unfortunately unlike school there are no fixed syllabus to be followed for CAT. Most coaching institutes do give a comprehensive list of topics that the questions might be asked from. I would advice you to go through any of the standard material provided by the coaching institutes like IMS, CareerLauncher etc and go through the table of content. For GMAT the syllabus is more or less fixed and can be found from various sites like www.scoretop.com www.urch.com www.gmatclub.com www.mba.com.

Workexperience is always considered using the following parameters: (a) full-time (b) after graduation (c) paid. So I reckon you fail in test condition (b). But the good news is that you can certainly tell the interviewers this fact or maybe include it in your essays. Constructive usage of time is always seen as a big positive.

There are no set cutoffs per se. Usually a score of 680+ in GMAT and a percentile of 99+ in CAT is seen as good enough to get you through. But obviously the more the merrier. Getting a 800 in GMAT and a 100%ile in CAT is always the dream score.

Having answered your queries, I still think that there is a long time for you to go. I don't want to discourage you from asking but do some research yourself by using google. Ask seniors in college and visit the coaching institutes to get a better idea. Having done that, visit the forum to ask more pointed questions.

HTH,

Arun

PS: I think FY B.Sc is kinda early to start prep but good to have idea about what to expect.
