Hello Harsh,
I am a graduate of NIT way back in 2006 with a degree in ECE.
I initially started with Software (Accenture ) but did not feel happy there so I left.
Now I am working in Business Development with a company in Oil & Gas, Power & Minerals sector.
I have 3 questions for you:
1. Do you think PDPU has people in my age bracket 27+ & work experience 5+ years?
2. Does PDPU consider GMAT scores as well? I have a GMAT of 750 & would like to use it if possible.
3. For a person with a background such as me (B.Tech ECE), do you think PDPU would give me a chance?
Thanks.
TJ
Hi TJ,
I too badly wanted to leave IT after spending 3 yrs in Accenture. Good to know that u have vast exp in Energy sector and want to pursue MBA in Energy now. To answer ur queries-
1) Yes, we have few ppl in 2011-2013 batch within same or even higher age group. Also, there is 1 guy with 5+ yrs of work ex of which 4 yrs is in Schlumberger.
2) No, GMAT is not considered in SPM. Only CAT score in considered. Pls refer adm policy from below link
School of Petroleum Management3) Yes, u have an excellent chance of converting SPM. There are ppl from various backgrnds in the current batches such as Chem, Mech, CS, ECE, Instru, Civil, BA, BSc, BBA, BCom etc. Moreover, u hav vast exp in the Energy sector so u definitely hv a great chance.
Just to clear a few points that SPM is not restricted to Chemical or Mechanical Engineers. Its open to everyone as long as a person wants to join Energy Sector.
Also from this yr onwards SPM is inviting companies separately for Lateral placements where in ppl with work ex will definitely be compensated with a much higher pay package.
