Hello Everyone,

I am part of the current PGPX batch (2015-16). I would love to answer any questions regarding the PGPX program. However, it is a good idea to go through the latest FAQ section and the 2015-16 thread before doing so.

Good luck!

FYI to all, IIMA PGPX also has two rounds for applications, just like IIMB EPGP and ISB.

32

IIMA has a system of integrated assessment of candidates. Hence candidates with slightly lower GMAT might still have a chance, if their profile is strong on other parameters.

33

can someone please comment on the below point:

How important is foreign exposure and what are the chances if one has no foreign exposure.!

35

Could someone from the current batch/alums clarify about the extra-curricular activities that we can mention in the application ? The application says : "Please mention only those activities for which you have obtained any recognition/awards." I was part of some activities, especially social causes related, for which I have not won any awards or special recognition other than one or two "thank you" emails. Can I mention this at all or not ? Please advise from your experience.

Is conducting walk in drives and campus interviews for the company I work in worth mentioning? If yes, in which section? The interviews I conducted were voluntary and there was no additional benefits involved.
