IIMB EPGP - StudentsSpeak Series:
Here is what Abhinav Kashyap, EPGP 2015-2016 student has to say:
"My experience is predominantly in B2B (Business to Business) and B2C (Business to Customer) sales for the high-end segment of the real estate industry. Attending the EPGP course at IIM, Bangalore has been one of the best decisions. The sheer depth of experience and wealth of knowledge that one is exposed to, in the form of the faculty and peers is truly unmatched. The lucid mix of academic classroom learning, case-based study approach, insightful projects and hearty peer interaction is exemplary. The EPGP classroom is nothing short of a sea of experience where there is as much to learn outside the classroom, as much as there is inside. The course is an excellent launchpad for managers looking for that shift which differentiates them from others and prepares them to be business leaders of the future."

Hi there,
Does IIMB consider the work experience till the time of matriculation or till the time of application?
Regards
Is it required to submit the GMAT score through GMAC. I took the GMAT last year and will have to order an additional score report. How long does it take to reach the institute?
Hello Everone,
I am considering EPGP/PGPX course, however there are few items I am unsure about.
1) If I consider the ROI of this programme using the average salary of 22 LPA of past 2 year, then I am getting negative ROI.
2) I have currently 8 years of work ex and if at all I will pursue this programme, I can do that only after 4 yrs, so that time I will be having 12 yrs of work ex. If I see the profile of IIM B students then rarely one I will find with 12+ yrs of work ex. I am not sure if this is negative point.
3) If I see the profile of IIM B students almost all are from premier engineering students, I have done 3 year Diploma in Computer Engineering and then part time degree in computer engineering from IETE. Again education profile does not stand compared to other.
reason I am considering this programme is because I have had technical roles like pre-sales, architect, consultant in cloud computing and mobility and there is nothing much left in exploring in technical arena apart from getting couple of promotion and getting the word principle in the designation (with same work doing today). Before I start in roles related to management and leadership I want to learn the basics for this which can help in long term and Manangement institutes is the place where this can be achieved.
i am in dilemma whether I should go and prepare for these programmes or not.
request you all to please share your suggestions based on the background I have mentioned.
Hi,
I am in the IT services sector for the past 4 years, out of which I have 1 year of international experience working for a European govt. project. I am from a completely technical background with a B.E. in IT and am strongly looking at pursuing a business development manager role in the future and as such believe that the EPGP is right for me. Going by my number of years of exp. (4.5 years by Mar 2016), do you think there is a chance I'd be able to land myself a role as a BD manager post the EPGP or will I be placed at a lower level?
This is important for me to understand since I want to know the applicability of an MBA at this stage in my career.
Hello ~ The SOP limit is 600 words. Can it vary? If yes, by how many words?

Hi Aspirants,
Do you need assistance free of charges.
Are you in GMAT/app dilemma?
Whether to take another attempt at the GMAT or proceed with the application?
Should I hire a consultant to review my app or not?
The cost-benefit analysis?
You want some expert to review your essays?
Someone who knows the process and knows what type of candidates makes it to the process.
Plz ping me.
This is not a spam as I am starting admission consulting free of cost to help students who are unable to pay hefty consultant fees make the best use of it.
My aim is to create level playing field for all.
Thanks.
