Editor's notes
- Your test score is the gate here, not your story. The shortlist for the writing test and interview is set by a GMAT/GRE cut-off, and the score carries 30% of the final result. Only centre-based scores count and there's no waiver. If your score is marginal, retest before you apply rather than after.
- Think hard before you apply in Phase 1 with a weak file. Get shortlisted and turned down after the interview, and you can't apply again this cycle. Miss the shortlist, and you can come back in a later phase with a better score. The FAQ says no phase has an advantage.
- Prepare for the WAT like an essay you write on the spot. It's worth 10% and it's the only writing IPMX asks for. Practise making one clear argument in a timed setting, with an example from your own work.
- The interview carries as much weight as your test score. With about 8 years' average experience and 79% of the last class changing function, be ready to explain exactly which move you're making and why a one-year general management programme in Noida is the way to make it.
