"Some marks required" - IIMs
Jagat wrote to ask if his GPA would be acceptable. Frankly I don't know. This GPA business keeps me confused despite having gone through it at IIMB.
I know that the IIMs want a minimum 50% but what GPA does that translate into? Write in if you know.
Jagat's mail was more specific: does his high extra-academic achievements compensate for his low academic ones?
As I understand it, a good MBA class has a mix of backgrounds and expereinces. That makes for interesting class discussions. As I told Jagat, a class of IIT toppers could be fairly dull, no. :-)
