Nitya / Kiran and other members of the group

My Name is Shiva Bebarta and I have close to 11 years of work experience myself in the corporate sector ..I have a bachelors in economics and an MBA from XIM Bhubaneswar , class of 98 and currently am the country representative for a large US Credit Card company

and manage their IT Outsourcing ...

Like Nitya , I also gave my GMAT on 13th june but due to maybe overconfidence / stress and poor time management got only 610 ..I am very particular on my choice of B Schools which is London Business School , Sloan Masters , ISB / IMD and IIM A PGPX ..Thought of INSEAD as well ..lets see as I am more keen on a general management program and dont want to learn accounting basics all over again :--)

But with an MBA already done I am very inclined towards Sloan Masters Program which does not lay much emphasis on GMAT but overall leadership exposure

Nitya , maybe you shd try for that as well ..

My linked in profile is attached below and I plan to take GMAT again in Late September just because its been ages since I have taken competitive exams ..so maybe that could be a factor ..

wrote my GMAT on 23rd June but thanks to stress and improper time management, I scored a miserable 590(48,24)
I am BE(Jadavpur) with 73% ,M Tech(IIT Delhi) and working as Deputy Director with Govt of India
My WE is 12 yrs in govt sector(passed CFA,USA Level- I)

Dont you think I may get interview call even with 690?

Dear Monty,

Your profile is Non-IT, Hence you have an edge in diversity of profile. However IMO, the GMAT score is on lower side. Remember the last year GMAT average is 728. Even for a non-it guy, 700+ may be required for interview call. But if you can make it up with other attributes, then one may still have a chance. There is nothing wrong in applying.
My GMAT is also 690 and i am also in the same boat.

Cheers

Kiran

Hi Friends

 

Wrote GMAT yesterday, got a 680 (M 49, V 34).   

I am a BBA (General management) with industry experience of 6+ yrs in Supplychain. Currently working with an MNC which is a chemical major in top 250 (fortune 500). Previously worked in a Paint MNC in supplychain.

Now, think is the right time to get an MBA under my belt. Academics have been average.

 

Need your help to understand the chances at PGPX.

 

Thanks

Ankur
