Hello @EPGP_IIMB 

I would like to clarify couple of issues:

1) In the Academics section, do we require to upload marksheets of both 11th and 12th class or only uploading of 12th class would be fine?

2) Regarding the references, do the referees get a pre-defined set of questions or a fixed format for writing the recommendations?

Thanks

Hello,

I am working as an Asst. Manager in ICICI bank and this is my fifth year at bank. Pleasetlet me know whether I am eligible for the program- say should I have completed five years at the time of applying or completing the five years of experience by the time of joining is sufficient.

Please advice.


Hello, My GMAT is score is low - 610. Wanted to know if my good acads and professional experience of 10+yrs (> 5 yrs international) can offset my low gmat score. Any help will be appreciated.

Puys, pls evaluate my profile. 10th 86%, 12th 77.5%, BE(VTU) 69% (Comp Science), 8.5yrs in IT (retail industry), GMAT score 750.

I have about 4.5yrs of international experience in Japan, Thailand, Australia.


Can anyone kindly explain what points do we need to cover in the SOP?


@MansieDewanConsulting Do we need to submit the proof of our extra curricular and awards after interview call?

@EPGP_IIMB : As per the information provided on EPGP side, valid till 29th August 2014 can be used to apply to the program. If I take the GMAT exam on 29th August, it is possible to use that score as it will take at least 8 days for GMAC to report the actual score. Can we apply using the Unofficial score report?

Hi, I have a GMAT score 700, 8+ years of experience in IT, Xth - 82.8, XIIth 79.5%, BE - 80.8% (University 1st Rank), MTech. IIT Delhi- 7.87, But I do not have much international experience (Just 3 months). I have good Extracurricular, and awards. Can you weigh in my profile and guide on which points to stress upon.


Hi Friends,

I am an IT Engineer with 7 yrs of experience. I recently gave my GMAT and have scored a 680 (Quant:49, Verbal:33, IR - 2  ). I was planning to apply for IIM B EPGP programme. I have worked as a Software Test Engineer and am currently working as a Team Lead. I am not very satisfied with my score and would need inputs as to if the above score could be considered decent above with my current profile or should I plan to retake the GMAT (I gave my 1st attempt on 26th July, so I can only give my 2nd attempt between 27th-29th August from the perspective of IIM B EPGP ).

Ravi Shankar
