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 .. http://www.linkedin.com/in/shivabebarta75

Kiran thanks for forming the group let me post my profile here
I was very hopeful about PGPX this year(more so because No of Seats are now 160 up from 78 last year) 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) last 7 yrs I am in manager/Senior role my profile http://www.linkedin .com/in/nitya34 writing GMAT again during first week of august and hope to score above 670 Dont you think I may get interview call even with 690?
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.
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

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.

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

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

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
