What is GEM at PythaGURUS ( GMAT ELITE MBA PROGRAM) ?

GEM, GMAT ELITE MBA PROGRAM, is an upgraded version of PythaGURUS previous GMAT program. Now, in addition to the rigorous coaching on maths and verbal, students also get to build up a great understanding of their candidature. It was very recently that our GMAT Program was morphed into this new program called GMAT ELITE MBA Program, and this was introduced out of candidates need to see the big picture. For example, even during the 6th or the 7th class, we realized that a lot of our candidates were very naive in their understanding of what an MBA program is, what are business school rankings, what will a resume involve, and what is the need to have a strong understanding of short term and long term goals.

GEM is our Elite Program for MBA aspirants who want to establish a career in management, and are keen on clearing the first hurdle of getting a high score on GMAT. This program will include 22 classes of 3 hours each (11 Verbal and 11 Maths) spread across 11 weeks of candidates stay with PythaGURUS. In addition to the classroom training across the various concepts tested on GMAT, GEM will also lead the introduction to your reason for pursuing an MBA. Just as any other aspirant trying to establish a career in management, you also are keen on knowing why are you spending so much of time on studying for the GMAT.

Part 1: Verbal and Maths Curriculum

Our Integrated Curriculum includes classes and regular weekly exercises that help the students to build a strong conceptual understanding of the entire range of topics that appear on GMAT. Quantitative Section During our 11 week curriculum, we re-teach you some of the concepts that you may have learnt in your school days. Every class is a new learning experience that comes with teaching style, concepts and the question exercises that are equivalent to those tested on the main exam. The rigorous classroom sessions of 3 hours each are complemented with doubt sessions on the weekends and weekdays. We understand that most of our students are either working professionals or college goers who have not been able to keep in touch with the school level mathematics, and classes are structured to bring the candidates to the mark. Integrated Reasoning A recent introduction to the GMAT exam, integrated reasoning requires aspirants to employ data interpretation techniques that are representative of either the real life scenarios that the managers will face in the industries or the case studies that the MBA students will face from the day one at any business school. All the top tier MBA schools lay a great emphasis on data based decision making across various functions, and getting a good grasp of this section is imperative to be a successful manager. With top GMAT scorers (GMAT 790) and top B-School Graduates leading our content and R&D teams, we offer classes that facilitate a great jump in the accuracy rates of the students. Verbal Section and AWA One of the weaker areas of people taking test from the Asian Sub-continent, Verbal forms 50% of the GMAT exam. In addition to struggling with Sentence Correction and Critical Reasoning, most of the students from India face a lot of problems with Reading Comprehension. We start with building your basics around these areas in order to well equip you with the skills necessary to crack this section. During our classes, we follow an appropriate mix of rule based teaching and skill based learning. Special Emphasis on 700 800 Level Questions GMAT has different tiers of questions segregated across difficulty levels ranging from 200 800 level. i.e. A 700 + level question is harder than a 500+ level question. In addition, the official sources such as the official guide and the tests on www.mba.com ( the official site ) are not very representative of the high level of difficulty questions that they throw on the main exam. We have developed a unique comprehensive question bank at PythaGURUS that helps you prepare for the real test, and those questions are a great representation of the real scenario.

Part 2: Resume Review and MBA Goals Orientation:

GEM, GMAT ELITE MBA PROGRAM, was introduced to minimize the gap between our candidates understanding, and the requirements of their perspective business schools. Based on our experiences with a lot of diverse applicants, we realized that even after getting a very high score on GMAT, some candidates were oblivious to the entire application process. Students scored 740 10 days before the deadline of Harvard, and were surprised to know that Harvard would not even interview them because of the story they had built. Some of them had 3-5 years of work experience in the IT Consulting environment and were looking for just any avenue to get out of their current role, and move into management. Their understanding of Business School was limited to getting an education on the resume that will take them further in their path to leadership. While that is understandable, we also know that most of them did not have a great understanding of Why is the knowledge of Short term and long term MBA goals important for the MBA aspirants and why is it important to know it ahead of time. It is quite understandable and normal if a lot of our readers are not aware of what we are talking about in this article, but our agenda was to introduce this to you ahead of time. We are very certain that at some point in your cycle of applying to the business schools, you will have an awe-inspiring moment that will make this picture very clear to you. Our agenda was to reveal the importance AS SOON AS POSSIBLE We asked a lot of candidates who had secured very high GMAT Scores or were still in the process of preparing for GMAT Why do you need an MBA? and we got the following responses: I want an MBA as I want to develop and hone my leadership skills I want an MBA so as to gain a thorough managerial perspective I want an MBA to earn more money I want an MBA so as to be able to get a strong promotion and I will also get to travel internationally A management consultant simply wants to make partner. An entrepreneur simply wants to succeed at building some sort of company. An investment banker just wants to rise in the investment bank's hierarchy. For these goals to be visionary, each of the above hypothetical applicants would need to have some greater mission. If the consultant wanted to eventually focus on a specific sector that excited her or if the entrepreneur was interested in working on specific kind of business or if the investment banker was concerned with the impact of her work on something beyond her own career development than that greater mission would be in place.

It was through these responses that we realized that there was a strong gap in candidates understanding of what a business school would be looking for in the entire candidature. We realized that there will be absolutely no point in making a candidate secure a 740 if he or she cant pull out a good story and use that score into creating a great success story. In addition to these, there were very Internally Aware candidates who were thorough in their expectations from an MBA program and had a strong clarity of their short term career goals, we realized that their career goals did not match the schools expectations at all, and that could have been disastrous for these very smart and inspired candidates.

There are two goals that we plan to meet through this program: Building Strong Concepts and Stamina across Maths and Verbal through a very rigorous GMAT Training Program. Build a very strong understanding of Business Schools, and make the candidates aware of their candidature, and aspirations for future.
