Will XL accept GMAT scores for GMP( next batch onwards)? what are the chances of this being done?
I keep hearing about the friction between BM and GMP guys. Hope this batch(on both sides) acts more maturely :-)
Wonder where you got that from??
.......Chill.....I think guys back at XL are "mature" enough!

I know that. Can comment more only when I see. And I will make sure that I write more on this whatever the truth is.

Chances are 50/50. I don't know why XLRI has been stubborn in accepting just XAT scores. BTW, I heard a GMP guy making through this time on the basis of GMAT score. Not very sure though.
Let me flaunt whatever I possess :satisfie:
1. XAT %ile: 99.93 (VA,QA,LR: 99.24, 99.75, 95.62)
2. Essay Rating: Can't rate (I shivered in the Delhi 0.2 deg.C cold and could not even complete)
3. Interview Rating: Decent (Refer: My interview experience and verbatim)
4. Work-Ex: 20 Months in a Telecom Software company
5. X: 90.1%
XII: 94.5%
B.E.: 9.17/10 College of Engg,Guindy. Anna University.
No great achievements and no spectacular/remarkable extra-currics.
Have won some cricket, volleyball, kabaddi prizes at high school level. Some quizzing prizes at college, office.

At the risk of sounding like a rabidly loyal XLer(which I am turning into), I would like to point out that XLRI started the 1 year GMP in 1997 whereas IIMA and IIMC have started theirs last year and this year respectively....

Well,IIM-PGPX(A and C) and ISB also selects candidates thru GMAT. I think unlike CAT/XAT, the idea of getting workex professionals thru GMAT is to select the brightest minds from an international gamut of experience and aptitude rather than search for the best talents in India .Agreed CAT/XAT is tougher to crack than probably score a 680-690 in GMAT(no offense meant), but i guess Indian B-schools have adopted a balanced approach of written scores and profile scanning (based on acads and workex) to select candidates for Exec-PGP-an approach generally followed across the world.
