Hi Pramod,

International work-ex is not a must but it is desirable. Still there are many people here who don't have international work-ex. The only problem might be you less work ex. Still try your best. In case your profile is very good (esp. if you have some managerial work ex), with a 720 GMAT you have a fair chance of making it.

All the best.

Hi tarun,

Will you please assess my profile and give your opinion about my chance to get admission in PGPX.

Education: CA
Experience : 12 years ( 6 years in Corporate Finance and 6 years in SAP consulting)
International Experience : 3 years as on 31.03.2007
Role: Project Management
GMAT Score : 660 (Too bad)

I have rescheduled my GMAT again on 24th July but I am not sure whether I will be able to improve my score.

Please give your opinion whether I must improve my GMAT score or in your batch there are people with this GMAT score.

Regards
Convio

hi convio,

tarun's been a busy b'day boy oflate :-) so let me answer your question.

my take is that your profile is impressive. your fin. background coupled with consulting exposure should be a good fit. we have 5 CAs in the class and buggers are much sought after assets here .....there have been times when many of us techies have felt like liabilities in the first two terms.

back it up with strong essays and also apply to God's school of Management.

All the best.

cheers

Hi Tarun and Mukul,

Thanks for opening this thread. I gave my GMAT exam last week. Got a score of 670. Verbal really killed me. Not the score I expected. Was aiming for a score around 700. Anyways - wanted to check on my chances for PGPX 2007.

I have around 11 years of experience in IT. I am currently in managerial role and have been in this position for around 2 years now. Have a bachelors degree in Engineering - Computers with a CGPA of 8.2/10.

Should I try to improve on my score? I think it is on the lower side looking at another thread that Tarun started earlier this year.

Suggestions???

Thanks
Vicky

hi vick

if possible, gun for a higher score (700+). last yr with the same score, institute asked me to comeback with a higher score, with all my diversity mantras/ploys . but i had only 6 yrs workex last yr agst your 11 yrs, so cant say - but why take risk ??

cheers

Most people will say that GMAT score is not the only criteria for admission to a B-school and its true to an extent ...However its also the first criteria to screen people ....

One can expect that lot of IT junta will apply so if you have a story which is very different and can make an impact ...this score will do ..otherwise please retake GMAT.

Cheers
