Dear Abhi,

From what I gather, the earlier MBA is not going to have any negative
effect on your application. However you need to convince ADCOM, why
you are going for second MBA.

Cheers

Kiran

Hi

I am a mechanical engineer and MBA by qualification. I did my MBA from
a Tier 2 B School in India, just after completing my Engineering
degree.Post MBA, I have been working with an Indian IT MNC and have
about 8 years experience in IT Sales and Marketing.
Now, I want to move up the value chain and get into strategic
management and consulting. To get ready for such roles and succeed in
industry, I believe I need to get back to the school.
Can anyone please help and tell me if my earlier MBA degree is going
to be any hindrance in my eligibility and selection for the program.

Thanks

Best Regards
Abhi

Can old rats learn new tricks?

Yes they can. I have personally witnessed 77 other rats figure the "how-to-survive-IIMA-PGPX-Term-I" trick out. Here is how IIM-A did that:

- Locked rats in a cage (called PGPX) with trick contraptions (really complex; and "crazy-sounding" subjects)
- Showed them a really large chunk of cheese that they can have in the future (senior management jobs!)
- Rewarded them with little morsels of cheese each time they made a headway figuring out a trick (grades)
- Punished them with little dozes of electric current (quizzes)
- And did not let them rest till they figured the tricks out – threw cold water (cases) at them, kicked the cage (term exams), and threw more puzzles (incrementally harder) at them each time they figured a trick out.
And wow, there is a group of semi-trained rats (not necessarily smarter ones though!).

The first term of the course is finally over and we had exactly 4 hours of break before the group jumped into the bulky (what else do you call 25 kgs of books and case spirals) second term material.

Here are some statistics of what the group (of rats) went through in the last ten weeks: (compiled by a colleague rat who is great at figuring out really complex "mazes")
- Worked on close to 75 cases
- Wrote 12 surprise quizzes/mid-term
- Wrote 9 full-length exams
- Attended 140 classes (each session – 75 minutes)
- Wrote/co-wrote/contributed to close to 50 reports/ submissions/PPTs

Don't you think rats (real ones) are luckier?

Keeping with its tradition of attracting students from diverse background, Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad (IIM-A) will see a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) officerearning the nuances of management under the Post Graduate Programme for Executives (PGPX).

Rajesh Nirwan, a 39-year old Deputy Inspector General of Police (DIG) with CBI, is one of the selected 78 candidates for the course this year. PGPX is a full time residential programme for executives with substantial work experience leading to a One Year Post-Graduate Diploma in Management for Executives. The programme is designed for executives with 6 to 7 years of post qualification, full time work experience.

An IPS officer of Rajasthan cadre, Nirwan served as a Superintendent of Police in four districts including Jharawad, Tonk, Sawai Madhopur and Kota spanning eight years, before joining CBI's Economic Offence Wing as a DIG in 2004.

"After working for CBI on deputation for three and a half years, both me and my department felt a need to understand the management concepts of the contemporary world for optimum utilisation of resources for our police force," said Nirwan. A professional chartered accountant, Nirwan has also worked with Pricewaterhouse Coopers for nearly two years before appearing for IPS. Although on sabatical from work for one year, Nirwan is keeping his options open of joining the corporate sector after the programme.

The batch of 2007-08 had 80 participants for which the institute had received 800 applications. This year the institute has received 1347 applications. The average GMAT score is 724 this year. The average work experience was 10 years with around three years of international work experience as compared to this year's average of around 13 years work experience in India and 9 years abroad.

Arvind Sahay, Chairperson of PGPX, said that there are high number of participants from the IT sector this year.

Now probably most of you are either preparing for GMAT for started
filling out IIM PGaPX application process. Share your experiences,
doubts and opinions in this forum
