Hi

I was looking at the application process for PGPX and one of the requirements is a reference letter from the employer and a second reference letter from someone who knows the applicant in a professional(?) capacity.

My questions related to this are:

1. Is there a template that the IIMs use for reference letters?

2. Will it suffice if I get the "letter from employer" issued by my immediate manager / who should issue the letter from employer?

Thanks,

Rajiv

Are reference letters required to be submitted by the deadline itself?

Hello, I need some info. Does the EPGP programs in IIM A, B and C give more weightage to our academics or the quality of work experience? I have a low grad marks of 63%. Can someone please clarify? The 2 year PGDM course gives very high weightage for academics. Is it the same for the one year EPGP as well?

Hi @EPGP_IIMB, The 'Preview Application' option is a great feature in the application portal to view how the application is coming along. However, the Roles and Resp. section somehow seems to corrupt the output, if the text in the section is greater than 50 words.  The FAQ for the section says that the R&R section can have around 200 words. Can you please check if this something that can be fixed if it not too much of a bother?
