I attended the session
Key takeaways-
1. Application to start from 22nd june for round 1
2. They are not expecting impact of covid on next batch
3. Interviews will be conducted across various locations in India and through skype for international applicants
4. Gmat or gre score is required, although you can apply without it initially, but they would need a gmat score before final decision
5. Don't expect Placements in companies like Bain, McKinsey since these ppl mostly hire junior consultants and PGPX is for experienced candidates ( prof mentioned PGP is forkids and PGPX is for adults)
6.No specifc cutoff for gmat, however average score is 702
7. Avg work exp is 9 years for last batch
8. They are expecting applicants to be honest in their applications, clearly chart out why MBA is required, how current exp has helped, etc..they want individuals who are not mugshots and have intuitive and interesting personalities..

Looking forward to people sharing more information about the interviews and how to crack those.

Thanks in advance.

Hi everybody,

I am trying to apply to the one year IIMA PGPX program for the class of 2021-2022. As you already know, the admission timelines for R1 are out - Jun 22, 2020 to Aug 31, 2020.
However, I am having issues in the online portal - the URL is not found or I get a message saying 'Registration to the portal is closed'. I have also written to their email (pgpxquery@iima.ac.in), but havent got any response.

Is anyone else facing this issue? Please help!

Hi varshikolla, i tried just now by signing up and was able to access the portal.

Just check once! not sure if it was a temporary issue or something else.
