Guys,

Now that applications for PGPX are closing, here is wishing you best of luck. Remember that applying to any MBA program is also an experience in itself. If you feel that you stand even a slight chance of getting an interview call, begin writing your essays now.

In the end, call or no call, selection or no selection - there will always be a next opportunity and who knows, there may be better things in store. On top of this, it should not discourage one from applying again. Remember that there are many, who succeed in more than one attempts and PGPX is not an exception.

Good luck folks!

I have submitted mine too. Probably I will be the person competing with the lowest GMAT and international experience on the higher end.

Hello,

Can someone tell me where I can find the essay topics? After submitting the form the guidelines document is not seen on the login page.

Any ideas where I can find this or can someone paste the essay topics here?

Here you are...

Good that you did, Here's wishing you luck!

C'mon, that's not the attitude to sport after submitting. We'll meet at the campus in April 09... Or maybe at the interview venue before that? I've chosen Ahmedabad.

Hey that's good news...
