1) Is the work experience sufficient?

I dont think it will be a problem if your profile is good ..In our batch there are many people with 5 years exp. I have seen people with 10+ years getting a rejection and people with just 5 years exp get thru. It all depends on your overall profile and the value you can add to the batch.

2) Is only GMAT required or do i need to take another exam?

GMAT is sufficient.

For this year, telephonic interviews were also conducted. So, that shouldnt be an impediment to apply to this course.

I believe that OG 10,11 , Manhattan SC and Scoretop VIP along with 1000 SC,CR and RC is more than sufficient to get a good score on GMAT. For tests , I would say that princeton,Kaplan in the early days of prep and GMAT prep

Hello,

I am planning to go to Jamshedpur for doing the loan formalities. I did not get a very good experience in Pune SBI and Canara Bank . I am planning to leave on 14th Apr.It would be great if anybody who has completed the loan formalities would shed some light on the process.( time required, documents for self and guarantor etc.)

Also, it would be great if somebody can suggest a reasonable and good hotel to stay for two days.Also let me know if accomodation can be booked in the campus itself. Any inputs are greatly appreciated .This will help me to plan accordingly.

Thanks a ton.
