hi
my post was in reaction to what mentioned by dream & ashut.
So, u think epgp-I is quite good. How is the placement records of the last 2-3 years. I could not garner any info as such apart from some pie charts & percentages.

Yes Indeed. The program is doing quite well. :p
luck2aa has added a link in the above post. You can refer to it for the latest placement stats,

It is little surprising to note that EPGP - at Indore is NOT that flashy as the PGP. Infact EPGP with a better work experienced student profile, should actually be able to attract better companies for an advanced work profile.

Logically if EPGP programs at A,B,C,L, XL are doing good in terms of placements , then the programme at I cannot be far behind.

It will be great if some seniors of the EPGP-I can throw some light ..

Well, Looking at the placement stats of the past couple of years , the program is apparently doing quite well.
What makes you think that the EPGP is not doing well in IIM-I ? :-P
Any insights would be much appreciated.

When can we expect the interview calls ? any ideas ?

Looking at last year thread I can forecast that results can be out between 17th May and 19th May....this is just speculation

When can we expect the interview calls ? any ideas ?

We all agree that IIM Indore has established itself among top 10 in India in just last 12-15 years. But Only concern I have about their EPGP course is why they are not publishing their Placement details? Even they have not updated details for 2010-2011 batch as well and obviously not for 2011-2012 batch. Either Placements are not good or they are too busy to update!!!

I have visited this school in 2006, its heaven in Indore and its flagship program PGP is also doing great, But I heard there is not much focus on EPGP course specially on Placement. Hope I am wrong and all my thoughts are just rumors.

I think you are correct to some extent. I have one of my friends in the current batch of EPGP 2011-2012. What I came to know from him that the placement drive is very much student driven. You need to build networking and try to bring companies for recruitment. Although they are having recruitment nowadays, but all of the students have not been placed yet. But as they have time till mid July (I think), he told hopefully each and every student will get placed by that time. He told me that you might not find companies lined up for placements as it is the case with PGP. So having said that, it looks placements are not as flashy as it is in PGP course.

If any alumni from EPGP batch, could throw some light onto the placement drives, it will be great.

BTW, I checked the IIM I website, and saw that they have placement stats for 2010-2011 batch. Correct me if I am wrong.

Dear Sudhir,

You have a excellent profile. The only drawback is your GMAT score which is quite low than the average GMAT score . Howver we have people with good profile and low GMAT score. Please go ahead with application and all the Best.

Thanks.

Probably , I may not be the correct person to answer your query but I feel that you have a very good profile and will definitely be called for the interview.
I guess , seniors are busy with their placements.

I'm also an applicant like u. But still I can give my opinion. see my response in 'Blue' below.......

Regarding the reporting of scores... should we report through GMAC mentioning the instititute/course code (apart from giving an attested copy of the score sheet)?
- At the time of submitting application, only self attested copy of GMAT score is required. (as confirmed by EPGP adcom to my query in the email)

Also, In case we have both CAT and GMAT scores, is it OK if we mention both in the application form? If not, which is preferred. From the above discussions, I see that most of the applicants are going for GMAT score. I have got 710 in GMAT but 99.18 in CAT(99.2 VA and 97.x QA).
- Both ur GMAT & CAT scores are very competitive. U can mention both the scores in the application. But b ready with the answer in the interview if they ask u why did u appear for both the exams.

Also, regarding the draft in favor of IIM Indore, is it fine if I send an "At Par" cheque, that is equivalent to a draft in a way that it can be encashed at local branch, unlike conventional cheques.
- Better to check with EPGP adcom regarding this. Through email or call or both. Email wid b better as u wud have a proof in hand about EPGP's reply.

Please suggest

All D Best with ur application.

With your previous score , YES ..
However , if you plan to retake GMAT on May 14th then you cannot apply with that score. IIM-I will consider the GMAT score obtained between 1st Jan 2009 and 31st March 2012, as mentioned in their brochure.

I agree with shashankp27.
******************************************

Hi,

I score 510 in my first GMAT attempt and will re-take the test on May-14. As the last date has been extended till May'15, can anyone let me know whether I can apply for ePGP by submitting GMAT score on May-14?

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
sunil

sunil, even if EPGP adcom agrees for your application with your GMAT score on 14th May. How do u plan to submit application on or before 15th May. Courier will take aminimium of 2 days if not more.. do u reside in or around Indore?

*****************************************************

Thanks for your response.

I can't apply with a score of 510 and expect an interview call from IIM-I.

That's right. There are very less chances that u will get an int'vw call from IIM I with a GMAT score of 510. Try to improve ur score above 650+. 700+ score will b much better. All d best for ur exam. I wud suggest not to b in hurry & concentrate on ur exam first. Try to get a descent score and then apply for next academic year. Most of the Indian B Schools will open their admission process for next academic year (2013-14) from July 2012 onwards.

Hi Guys,

I have been following this thread for some time but never posted anything till now.. I think its high time I should also pitch in this wonderful forum for discussion.

I have also submitted my application and now its a matter of wait and watch.

Quick overview of my profile :

Work ex : 7years
Industry : IT
International Work Ex : 4 years
GMAT : 650
Extra Curriculars : Decent
Current Location : US

Hope they agree to conduct interview over the Skype (in case I am shortlisted.. fingers crossed though)

Good Luck to everyone !

I would suggest you to pick the phone and give a call to ADCOM and get your doubt clarified. Seniors have indicated that ADCOM is quite rigid about the rules.
Go thru the previous posts of this thread.
