Hi Puys,
I was looking for some feedback on the admission counselling offered at IMS.
Anyone with any personal experience with their services?

I havent been to IMS consulting.... but one of my friend approached them and he had a ISB and IIM-A, SPJain call.... he said they were pretty well versed with the International MBA scenario. Indian 1 yr MBA ke liye he felt the charges were too much... but yeah overall pretty neat

IMS is really bad.. Trust me I have been there and one of the reasons why I did not get an admit from top colleges despite high GMAT and being from IIT is IMS.

Their views on Essays is very shallow. They have two counsellors Shobha and Vaishali (if I rem the names right) and trust me both of them are no good.

One of the most important lesson I learnt paying them around 14k was that, please try and write your essays on your own and keep re-reading them and editing them. IMS is absolute waste of time and this is the opinion I have gathered from many of their students whom I used to meet.

Didn't mean to offend any one through this message though.

Thank You

Wow.. Those are two completely contrasting views..!!
I saw some of the student profiles that they placed, and was really impressed..

Anyone else who has worked with IMS recently..?

No personal experience. What I know from few of my friends, IMS consultants are good for 2nd tier colleges and things. For top colleges, you have to do your own bit more (80%) and can use them as support staff to do some editing. Don't depend on them to choose the contents for you. For my friends, it worked well and they are admitted but again it was not because of only IMS but some final touches from them.
