Did someone apply with GRE score ? What's the GRE range that IIM EPGP might consider ?

Can anyone confirm if Adcom has started accepting applications for round 2. I cant find the link to online application anywhere on the IIMB website?

To my fellow applicants who have been accepted in round1.

Did you send the acceptance amount? and did you get a confirmation email yet?

I wish to apply to EPGP. However, I have a low GMAT score of 650, which is making me skeptical as it does not fall in the accepted range. I work with BHEL in sales and marketing and have 7 years of work ex. Can someone please guide me on whether I should apply or not. There's no point in applying if the likelihood of not getting shortlisted is greater. I can't retake the GMAT before the deadline because of some engagements. Please help.

Hi guys

In the recommendation letter there is this question-

What do you consider the applicants chief liabilities and weaknesses?

Is it a good idea to state weakness and then state how I have improved upon this weakness. Or will it show a desperate attempt? Also is it ok if we write about only 1 weakness? There is no word limit either. We should restrict ourselves to how many words? Please guide.

Does anyone have contact address of  any current student or alumni who is willing to help?


Does anybody know how many offers have been made in R1 ?

Did anyone get acknowledgement for R1 acceptance letters submitted after 10/23? With foundation day, Sammantran etc. going on I am not able to reach anyone in the office who can help and confirm.

Quick question...do we need to submit official GMAT score cards via GMAC or is it enough if we upload the soft copy of the score card?

Hi,

I am applying for Round 2. What is the difference in intake between Round 1 and Round 2?

Thanks

Sir, Ive got GMAT score of 680 Iam presently working in Accenture as senior software Analyst . I will be completing 3yrs and 10 months by march 2016 Can i apply for EPGP PROGRAM IN IIM Bangalore for round 2 Can iapply after writing the GMAT exam again with better score.

Hey,

I have a 740 on the GMAT taken last year. I will have a 3 yrs and 10 months total work experience (including 2 yrs and 10 months in the US) by March'16. I also have a 2 yrs master of science from the US. I probably will not still be eligible to apply for 2016 right ? 

Also, I think till last yr you guys had 5-6 yrs as the minimum work ex required, even in the batch profile I did not see anyone with 4 yrs of work ex. Has there been a recent change in eligibility or is it just very very difficult (near impossible) to get in with just over 4 yrs of work ex.

@EPGP_IIMB May I know which recruiters from consulting, private equity and investment banking target EPGP students

Hi, I have close to 8yrs (will be 8 by March 2016) of work ex in IT  and am a Tech Lead at present. I scored a 710 in GMAT, but I am disappointed with the score and thinking to apply next year with a better GMAT score  and may be a better profile than to apply in R2 now. However does the GMAT score of 710 or 750 makes any difference in the application ? As I am a male from Indian IT industry, I was thinking the GMAT score has to be higher to stand out. My profile is just average, I don't have much to add in the extracurricular activities. 

Friends, in the application form there are no essays other than SOP, isn't it?

The instruction says to summarize the roles and responsibility section in Work Experience within 200 words but the sections is unable to save anything beyond around 90-100 words. Is it a glitch or we need to manage within that ? Can the admins please confirm ?
