Hi All

I thought of starting a thread for all aspirants of the IIIrd PGPEX from IIMA/IIMC which would start around December 2007 /April 2008 respectively for IIMC and IIMA


This thread can be a common forum to discuss:

a) Trends from PGPEX I and II
b) focus on the III batch
c) Insight on profiles from previous batches and their placement details
d) Applications/Essays/Personal interviews - Tips and experiences.
e) GMAT scores
f) Profile of people who would apply for the IIIrd batch

and all other points which needs to be discussed.


For starters, I have some important dates from the websites (IIMA for now)

March 2007 - Official details are on website along with application form
April 2007 - Applications are accepted formally
August 10 2007 - deadline for submission of forms
October 31 2007 - Admissions informed to applicants.

April 2008 - Course begins
March 2009 - Placements


For IIMC, I infer the following from current information on the web site

Jan 15 2007 - application available for download
June 30 2007 - deadline for submission
Sep 30 2007 - Announcement of results
December 1 2007 - Report in campus
December 4 2007 - Course starts.....



My Profile is as follows:

Work ex : 4.5 years in a product company (American/German)
Role : Product Marketing
GMAT : Yet to take
Acads : Good . B.E. from Tamilnadu
Extra curriculars : Good
International experience : Visited countries on business trips





Would be nice if people can contribute to this thread and make it useful for all.

thanks

vivek

hey guys count me in too. i should thank vivek for guiding me to this thread. i plan to take up my gmat sometime in march 07. hope to perform very well. have just started prep.
i, frankly speaking, never gave a thought about this PGPEX course. i have to do some ground work and research on it.
hey vivek, thats a nice post by u there.

[sandy_venkat]

??: hey i visited the site. it clearly states the requirements. one should have atleast 5 yrs of experience. my exp is no where close. it'd take me another 3 to 3.5 yrs minimum.

[sandy_venkat]

we can start discussing about the gmat prep. wat do u guys say? if it is not to be done in this thread, the we can create a thread or may be find out some thread to discuss. another 3-4 months and we have our exams in sight. ????
