Hi, I have a few queries about the online application form of PGPX. Can someone have a look ? 

1. Contact Details - I do not have landline phone at residence. Yet the page does not allow to proceed without entering a number. I have entered 00000000 as my number. Can you suggest any other alternative?

2. In international exposure section, is there any limit on minimum number of days I should have spend abroad ? e.g. I have multiple abroad travels, but one of them is a travel of only 1 week. Should I add it ? (I was paid for it, and it was actual work, not a conference etc.)

3. What kind of documents are you looking for the international travel ? Is it okay if no documents are available for onsite travel? I may have only flight tickets as a proof.

42

Hi, I see in the application form no attachment is there. So is it that right now no document is required? 

43

why does the form let us enter the roles and responsibilities of current job only? What if I have not spent much time on my currrent job but have done a lot of diverse work in my previous jobs?


Not sure who is the adcom for IIMA. Can anyone route this query?

44

I have taken my GMAT in january-2016. I have my official score with me. But GMAC has not reported the score to IIMA. please clarify if score by GMAC to be sent to IIM A before shortlisting?


If my application will be complete without GMAC reporting my score to IIMA.

 I dont see any option to fill class 10 and 12 marks on the application portal which means they are not a criteria for short listing. Is that correct?

Hi, some more questions on PGPX Application Form. Request the Adcom to answer.

 

1. Awards/Prizes : It is mentioned that the awards/recognitions should be regional/national/international level. Does this condition also apply to those awards/prizes which I have won in office competitions (e.g. some prizes were in office local branches, not regional or national level) ?


2. Extra Curricular Activities/Interests : The page says you can mention about your present or past hobbies. At the same time it also says please mention only those activities for which you have obtained any recognitions and awards. Does it mean that, if I have some hobby/activity where I am at amatuer level of proficiency but don't have any certificate to show for it, then I shouldn't mention it?

In IIMA application, there is a column for Self/Career Improvement Efforts.

I have attended various training sessions in my current company. But I do not have any certificates. Can I mention those training details under the "Self/Career Improvement Efforts" column?

Hi, Facing a dilemma.. I had planned to take first attempt at GMAT by October 20 n if required second attempt by Nov 5-10..the Manhattan mock score 600 makes me feel that I should take only one attempt and that by November 5-10. Just would like to responses from experienced test takers. Thanks
