Dear All,

We are starting a new thread to discuss about ipmx, the one year residential MBA program at iim lucknow. We are students from the current batch (2012-2013) and would try to answer questions that prospective applicants have about the programme.

The upcoming batch (2013-2014) would be the sixth batch of IPMX. IPMX is the only one year programme offered by an IIM to have a dedicated campus. The program also consists of a 2-3 week International Business Module. For the last batch it was Kelly Business School at Macedonia. The location for the current batch is still being discussed.

I welcome all prospective applicants to this thread. We, students of IIM Lucknow - IPMX 5th batch, would try our best to help the prospective candidates. Kindly note that the current batch is gearing towards the first terms exams and presentations. So, there might be occasional delays. Request prospective applications to cooperate with us.

The program details can be found at : Post Graduate Programme

More information about the life in IPMX can be found at the student's blog:
Life At IIM Lucknow - IPMX | 1 Year Full Time Executive MBA at IIM Lucknow

We wish you good luck.

Hi BDM@TCS,

You have a sales/marketing background in the IT industry. IIM Lucknow will be a good choice for you since it is known for marketing. Highlight this sales background in your application to differentiate yourself from the typical IT profile. Of course, you need to back it up in the interview as well .

I am going to repeat what I have said earlier in this thread. Apart from GMAT, you will be assessed on the quality of your experience , your maturity level, personality, extra-curricular activities , industry knowledge, ability to think spontaneously in the interview, etc. Another aspect that is important is what value you bring to the class. So, if you have had a sales experience, you should be able to share the challenges you faced as a sales manager in the class. All these things should show up in your interview.

All in all, it is your profile and how you project it in your application and your interview. Hope this helps. Let me know if you have any further questions.

Regards
ipmx

Would request if the current alumni can help in my profile evaluation .

Proactive and Reactive selling with a good success ratio.
Market research across retail customers .Industry trends and analysis
Business development across multi tower offerings
Complete ownership of sales pursuits from lead generation to delivery
Good customer wins as part of the pre sales and solutions group

My experience has been more towards sales pre sales and consulting and want to pursue now a good One year Exec MBA . I am yet to give my GMAT and have worked with TCS & Infy hence am part of the typical IT male profile :).

Would like to understand apart from a good GMAT score what are the key areas which I should highlight . Your guidance would really help in applying the right thought process for the current admission process

sudhi3127,
IIM Lucknow has a policy of not disclosing too much information about placements. This is not just for the ipmx course, but for all courses offered at iiml. From that perspective, I will not be able to give you any more details other than what you can find in the website and the pla...

Hi Sauvata,
Apologies for the delayed response. Although I had inquired about it from the admissions office, it completely slipped my mind to update you. Admissions office is very clear that the minimum experience required is 6 years as on 31st March, 2013. Even if you miss the criteria b...

@ipmx: any update on this.please reply.

@ IPMX : Thanks for the placement report. But isn't it very basic information on the placements? When you want to attract people who are at middle-senior management level for the program , how does this placement report instil confidence. I cant see the list of companies that hired, avg/median sa...

Aishwarya02,
Yes you are eligible.

sudhir3127,
The placement report of ipmx batch 4 can be found here . The placements here are lateral and completely profile driven. Note that your past experience counts a lot during placements.

Sambit,
Yes. The form is not yet up. You will have to wait till July.

@ IPMX: Thanks a lot for your replies. Can you please help me on the placements stats at IPMX. I specifically want to know how many Ibanks/PE/HF/VC visit the campus and hire?

Hi IPMX,
I could not find any dates regarding the admissions for the year 2013-14. As per the last years dates, is it going to be declared in July ??
Thanks,

siddheart,

There is no gmat cut-off. It completely depends on the competition. If you have a good gmat score, it works to your advantage. If you don't, it does not disqualify you though. There are folks with a low gmat score who made it to the course. These folks excelled in other parameters like attitude, professional achievements, academic performance, clarity about the future, maturity, etc. It is the overall profile that matters.

I don't think you should stop short of applying just because your gmat score is 660. You have substantial experience and I think your application and SOP should reflect that. And if you can showcase that in your interview, then nothing like it.

Having said this, since you are planning to re-take your gmat, I would say go ahead and give it your best shot. A better gmat score will work to your advantage.

Hi,

I'd request someone to review my profile and encourage/discourage to apply for the IPMX program 2013 batch.

Profile
Experience: 12 years
Occupation: IT Software
US/Canada experience: 6.5 years
Current Position: Sr. Manager - Projects
Academic background: B.E. Electronics (Mumbai Univ.), Distinction grade in SSC and Diploma.
GMAT score: 660 (Q49, V32, AWA 5.0)
Other achievements: have few accolades/rewards at work, but nothing outside work.

I know I have a VERY ORDINARY profile and I am considering retaking the GMAT, but this post is in response to one of the threads here indicating that perhaps my GMAT score just makes the 'cutoff'. I understand that admission must be based on personality, maturity, attitude, and other related factors but frankly above details (on my profile) are all I have to boast about.

I would like to get some candid feedback on my odds of getting in IIML for 2013 and also what else I could do (in terms of extra curricular) to make my profile stronger.

Thanks,
Sid.

PS: This is my first post here, but I have been following this site for a while.

@ipmx : Can you please confirm from the admission office,whether candidate with experience of 5 year 10 month(as on 31st march 2012) can apply for next year session.

No, as far as I know, rejection letters with specific reasons were not sent out. In general other than the gmat score, the admissions panel will be looking at your achievements, maturity level, personality, etc.
The average gmat score for the current batch is 700 +.

arpit 20,
I don't want to sway your hopes one way or the other, but to tell you the truth, it would be very difficult to evaluate your profile just from gmat point of view. Your gmat score is good and you do qualify for the programme. You have a manufacturing background, which is good.

cyberabadi,
The admissions panel looks to build diversity in the class, not just from industries point of view, but also from nationalities point of view. In that perspective, there is a mix of NRIs that is preferred for each batch.
Average gmat score is not a good data point to gau...

pradeepm08,
With 6 years of experience, you do qualify to apply for the IPMX programme. However, since you have an IT background, I would recommend that you try to get a GMAT score that is more than 700. There will be a lot of folks from the IT background in the application process, so it ...

Hi, I have 6 years of work experience. I am working as a software engineer at Oracle India. I have normal extra curricular(nothing extra ordinary). I also have won the employee of the month award once last year. But my gmat score is on the lower side- 650. I want to know is it worth applying or w...

Hello,
Can you please tell me if there is a reserved pool for NRI applicants? Also what is the average GMAT in the latest batch?

The minimum experience required to apply for the programme is six years by March 2013. Please make sure that you satisfy this criteria before applying.
