Below are my inputs on your profile and answer to your query:

1. Your academic percentage is good however, not very good considering the competition in the pool for PGP.
2. You have a rich but limited work experience compared to the average work experience of the batch.
3. The SPOT award won and other work achievements shared resonates with your quality work experience.
4. Learning from the limited entrepreneurial experience will be valued, hope you are making good use of the 10k followers.
5. Achievements outside your work experience are highly valuable.

Based on the above, I would strongly advise that trying to improve the GMAT score will definitely put your profile in strong contention for the PGP program.

Hi Eksha22,

Your profile is way better compared to the engineering applications the B-School receives. Rich work experience from the Big4, winning SPOT awards at work and having successful entrepreneurial stints with great interest and achievements in the extracurriculars makes your profile strong.

Though a 700 GMAT score is good but given the competition and considering your pedigree and the time you have in hand for the upcoming intake, we suggest that you give another shot at GMAT aiming for a higher score. Also, do consider doing some online courses which will help you transition to your short term career goal and show your learnability skills.

Wishing you all the best.

Hi Ayush7777

Experience with NGO, participation in NCC and Bharat scouts and guides, your national level achievement in sports will help you showcase your leadership and team skills and how you have used them at work. Working directly with clients from many countries around the globe will give you the right content to talk about your professional achievements at work and the skills you have built.

Your academic percentages are just fine and if you are writing GMAT you should aim to score more than the avg gmat score of the batch.

Hope this helps.

Wishing you all the best for the GMAT exam.
