How to structure your Statement of Purpose?

There are three ways in which people generally structure their SOPs:

1. You can write your SOP in a chronological manner describing significant events right from childhood to date. Try to bring out the learnings from each of these events. You do not necessarily have to mention your achievements. You can also mention your failures, what you learned from them and how has it changed you as a person.

2. You can choose a theme for your SOP and build your story around it. For example, the theme of your SOP could be Willpower and you could elucidate instances that demonstrate this quality of yours. However, do make sure that since you would not be following a chronological order here, jumping from one instance to another does not confuse the reader.

3. A third type could be a mixture of 1 and 2.

IMPORTANT: Try to cover maximum aspects mentioned in the SOP requirement. Try to draw upon experiences from both personal and professional spheres of your life. The last paragraph should ideally be a culmination of all of your past experiences and learnings into your desire of pursuing the PGP from IIMB. All of us know that IIMB is an institute of international repute and mentioning this as the reason for doing an MBA won't make you stand out. Try to bring out the point as to how IIMB would help you in achieving what you want to in the next 30 years of your life.

Hi, I did not get the link to the application form. I received the mail informing me that I have been shortlisted and that i will receive a mail containing the link to the on-line application form. Has it not been sent to everyone or is there any issue?

In the form, where we're required to upload the score sheet, is it sufficient to upload our degree completion certficate or is the complete transcript required? I am in the process of getting my transcripts from my college and am not sure if it'll arrive by the deadline.

Hi , I have these two as my references 1. Senior analyst from my organization who is just a level above mine and has been my lead 2. A professor from my college under whom I have conducted workshops for 3 consecutive years though not from the same branch. As I have completed my graduation in 2016 so will it be fine to have the professor as the reference?
