Thanks a lot Maa'm. It was very precise and perfect piece of advise for me and people who are understanding the process of admission in IIM through GMAT. I would be required your help for Post GMAT preparation.

Thank you dear for guidance .

Do EMBA have reservation?

[@snehasiddhaasanga4979]

Hi ma’am , could you tell me what should be the right strategy for extempore ? I am a bit confused whether to completely hold my stand or be a bit flexible when professors counter you .

[@KayalvizhiConsulting]

Try and hold ground as much as possible. But be careful not to come across as arrogant, you can be polite and assertive. Worst case, you can agree to certain points

Mam what about round 3. I have read somewhere to avoid round 3 .

[@shreyaunnecessarilylonglas607]

I know this is an old video hence the doubt..is this the same process even now? I have just decided to apply for the next year's cohort and I am yet to take the test(I have not started preparing for it yet lol). Can I still apply in round 3 this year, which ends on 18 December?

[@KayalvizhiConsulting]

Yes, you can. But even for R3, this is high time to start prep :) Start away, all the best!

I had applied to iima pgpx in round 3 and yesterday i got the rejection mail. My score is 700 and my interview went really well. I have a decent profile. Btech from iit bhu with 8.45 cgpa Six years of experience with iocl. I am an assistant manager production. Energy sector. I don't know what went wrong. Is it because i applied in round 3. Do you need to have a lot better profile if you want to get into iima round 3. Or am i missing something altogether. I am very confused. I was very confident that i would get in easily. Please help.

What was your gmat score? 12th and 10th marks?

[@ankitsharma1622]

Hi, Does it make sense for me to apply at 660 GMAT Score? I am an engineer with 5 years of experience across Consulting & Lending. Thanks.

[@arunkirubakaram2658]

No, please take the GMAT again

[@ritikakrishna8759]

Hi Kayal, Thanks a lot for ur guidance. It was really very informative. Just wanted to ask one thing that whether the GMAT scores automatically sent to colleges where the applicant would be applying are sufficient or the applicant must send the hard copy to the colleges also.

[@KayalvizhiConsulting]

No hard copy required. But you have to upload a soft copy in the portal

[@ritikakrishna8759]

@@KayalvizhiConsulting How much time does it take to get the soft copy? Do they send it over mail or we have to ask for it from GMAC? Also what if i don't opt for sending the scores directly to IIMs by directly selecting the option at test centre?

[@shramikasen3755]

Do students with below average academics and a good work profile get selected?

[@KayalvizhiConsulting]

Yes, they do. I've seen people with below 50% in their UG get through too
