I have provided the recommender details in the application form.However, my recommenders have yet not received the recommendation form on their email ids. Do the recommenders receive the form post payment of application fees or before that?

Did anyone attend the Info Session on 12th July,2014? It would be a real help if someone can throw light on the key outcomes / learning of the session.Thanks

Hi, do we need to submit the proofs of our extra curricular and awards at the time of interview or before that.

What are the lowest and average GMAT score of the current batch?

To meet the application deadline, can we submit the form without the GMAT score ?? Is it possible to submit/update the GMAT score at a later date..?? 


is there any word limit for essays and sop. One of my essay is about 800 words. Would that be fine? I found that the the application form mentions:use extra sheets if necessary @IIMCPGPEX 




Hi, I have a query about the recommendation process. Will the referrals be intimated for the recos only after the application has been submitted or should the application be submitted only after the recos are completed and submitted by the referrals?

Is international exp mandatory for pgoex?.....i dont have any 

By when one has to complete 5 yrs in order to become eligible?

Hi AdCom,

I had a doubt regarding the work experience section "Step 7" of the application form. This section asks for "Aggregate full time work experience" and "Managerial Work experience".

I have 7 years of work ex as an Individual Contributor only. But the month field requires input between "1 and 11". I am not sure what to fill in the "Managerial Work experience section". 

The form doesn't say anything about the word limits of SOP. Is there any preferred limitation which we should adhere to? 

I gave GMAT in August 2013 and score was sent through GMAC to IIM Calcutta as part of free score submission to 5 universities. Do I need to submit score again through GMAC if i am applying for PGPEX 2015-16? Kindly clarify

Application submission deadline is 31st August, and hence can recommendations be submitted after 31st august (Since recommendation request will be sent once application is submitted)? Or do we need to submit applications before 31st August keeping margin for recommendations. Kindly clarify.
