Can you tell me if it is compulsory to mention Statement of Purpose for admission in PGPEX (Post Graduate Programme for Executives) in IIM Calcutta?

Yes, it is compulsory to mention Statement of Purpose for admission in PGPEX (Post Graduate Programme for Executives) in IIM Calcutta.

It should include an objective and clear statement on: why does one want to join the PGPEX programme? What qualities, experience and achievements does one have to justify admission? What type of jobs and at what level does one expect after successful completion of PGPEX?

IIM Calcutta is the first management institute in India to be Triple crowned – to be accredited by AACSB, AMBA and EQUIS, i.e., accredited by all the three major accreditation agencies in the world for management education.

Only 5 other business schools in Asia and 73 business schools around the world are currently ‘Triple Accredited’.
