I’m curious about how competitive it is to get into the IIM Ahmedabad
PGPX program. What’s the acceptance rate and how does it compare with top global
MBAs?

IIM PGPX (specifically IIM Ahmedabad’s one-year executive MBA) has an approximate acceptance rate of 10–15%, making it comparable to selective global one-year MBAs such as INSEAD and IMD. Based on RTI-disclosed data, recent batches admitted around 158 students from applicant pools in the 1,200–1,500 range. If the question refers to executive MBAs across multiple IIMs, the acceptance rates are similar: IIM Bangalore EPGP admits 80–90 students, IIM Calcutta MBAEx admits around 70, and IIM Lucknow IPMX admits around 60, with each program seeing 5–10x more applicants. Selection at all these programs weighs GMAT or GRE scores, academic record, work experience quality, essays, recommendations, and interview performance. Admitted cohorts typically have GMAT averages of 680–720 on Classic and 5–10 years of work experience. Round 1 applications have the highest success rate.
