  • I would like to know more about this course. I am interested in admission criteria, GMAT score, Management Aptitude Test score required. Can anybody help me understand how much does the average age factor matters. I have almost 7 years of experience and will that affect? Also if I have Master's in Manufacturing - does it increase my chances of admission ?
