@IIMCPGPEX Hi ...firstly i would like to thanx the PGPEX students and / or faculty, for starting this initiative for the class of 2016. I was looking for such forum since few days, but couldn't find the right place to ask my queries.

My first qsn is regarding the Eligibility...my post-graduation work-ex goes like this:
1. around 13 months in a Supply Chain Industry as Associate Soft Engg
2. for arnd 14 months - involve in business with my uncle..he had a few at that time including Restaurant & Import-Export...i was involved in these.
3. would be completing 3 years in March 2015 as an Inspector of Customs & Central Excise.

so my qsn is whether the involvement in business can be taken as Managerial / Professional experience.....since IIM C eligibility criteria says 5 years of "Man / Prof exp"

hat are the chances with 680 GMAT and 9 years of work ex in automobile?

Hello,

I am planning to apply to IIMC PGPEX class of 2016. I had taken my GMAT in Jul 2011 (within the last 36 months) and had sent my score to IIMC on Aug 2011. However, I hadnt applied to PGPEX at that time, since I had some other family commitments. Now, do I need to send my scores again or would IIMC already have my score ?

7

any tips on how to prepare for the essays and the interviews ??

have you submitted both the scores to IIMC PGPEX ?? if no, then submit the better score .. else IIMC will consider the higher score to shortlist, but you might have to explain the difference in scores during the interview.

GMAC reports all the valid GMAT scores. IIMC considers highest of the valid scores. So, in your case, if both the scores are valid, the higher one will be considered. In your application, you can mention the higher score.
