IIMC MBAEX essays, deadlines, and class profile
The IIMC MBAEX essays and statement of purpose constitute the most important part of the IIM Calcutta (IIMC) Post Graduate Program for Executives (MBAEX) admissions process. This one year MBA equivalent program for executives offered by IIM Calcutta is very popular, and offers excellent education as well as placements. This page provides a brief overview and some tips and advice for the IIMC essays, while also listing down the latest deadlines and class profile.
IIMC MBAEX Essays - current topics
- Statement of Purpose: This should include an objective and clear statement on why you want to join the PGPEX programme?; what qualities, experience and achievements do you have to justify your admission; what types of jobs and at what level do you expect after successful completion of PGPEX? (500 words)
- Optional essay: Anything else you would like to highlight in support of your application (Word limit 300 words)
IIM Calcutta MBAEX essay tips and advice
- IIMC PGPEX Statement of Purpose (SOP): The IIMC PGPEX SOP is meant to be a statement of the larger vision and goals that the applicant hopes to achieve through the PGPEX program. You should focus on their professional experience, why they seek an MBA, and how IIMC can help. Future career goals are also important, together with explaining how you hope to achieve them. Keep in mind that this is the ‘core’ answer that IIMC is looking at, and it forms the core of your candidature, so this is the single most important essay as part of the application at IIMC.
- IIMC PGPEX optional essay: This is an optional essay, so do not feel the compulsion to use it, but do not also leave this blank if some aspects of your candidacy remain unaddressed. Career gaps, poor academic performance, unusual work appraisals, and frequent job changes all fall into this category, but are of course not an exhaustive listing of things you could mention.

IIMC MBAEX fees and costs
The program cost for 2021-22 will be INR 27,00,000. This includes tuition fees, cost of study material, accommodation and cost of study tours organised by IIMC.
Another very interesting part of the program is that Airfare, visa and medical insurance charges for overseas study tours will be borne by IIMC itself. However, students will have to bear the expenses for food, personal travel, electricity, cable TV, other utility and misc., expenses and any other expenses of personal nature during their stay in the campus or abroad. This is an outstanding option given by IIMC to its students. For most other MBA programs, schools do not cover the cost of studying abroad, and depend on students to pay extra for it. For those looking for global exposure during their stay at IIMC, this is an excellent opportunity to get it along with outstanding education at IIM Calcutta.
