Pulkit decided to go for MiM from ESSEC and Ph.D. from INSEAD After BE(CS) from BITS.
Pulkit Born into a family of academicians, He pursued undergrads from BITS Pilani in Computer Science Engineering (class of 2017). During his undergrads (2015), he has exposed to entrepreneurship especially hackathons and new venture creation. He saw quite a few of his classmates starting their ventures while others who were equally capable were not able to develop their startups.
He started looking for Ph.D. options in the field and he realized with my background in engineering it’ll be impossible to get into Ph.D. directly in the field of strategy. He started looking for graduate courses in Management. After spending weeks(2016) into research, he realized MiM is the best course for him. However, He did realize very few top(traditional) schools were offering it and it seemed like a European phenomenon. While he was researching about B-Schools two schools that stood out for him were Wharton and INSEAD but unfortunately, none of them were offering MiM in 2017.
Most of the top-ranked schools in FT ranking were in Europe. He prepped 3 weeks(30 hours) for GMAT and scored a decent 700. He realized MiM courses are professional courses and not research- oriented courses. Given my background in engineering and not management and his dream of pursuing Ph.D. He had to go for a flexible and long course (not a 10-month course). This helped him in shortlisting the list for MiM. He was just targeting the top 8 from the FT rankings. His two criteria ruled out LBS, St Gallen, and the Spanish schools for him. He finally zeroed down to 3 French schools HEC, ESSEC, and ESCP.
ESSEC became my top priority for 3 reasons.
• The primary reason being the apprenticeship contract that ESSEC offers, a student can graduate debt-free as his/her studies are sponsored by a company.
• The second reason being the exchange programs offered by ESSEC for MiM students is second to none. ESSEC has Kellogg, Duke, Cornell, Booth, etc. as its exchange partners.
• The third reason being the flexibility that ESSEC offered, you can take any course on any of its campuses. You can come to schools 2 days a week, you can work 3 days a week or you can take a trimester off for an internship or any of such combinations. He finally chose ESSEC over other French schools despite being given no scholarship by ESSEC.
In Aug 2019, he went to Duke for my exchange and took courses in VC that further strengthen my interest in entrepreneurship. By Jan 2020, he had a shortlist of schools and he wanted to apply to, INSEAD and Wharton were the top priorities as they are the best schools for entrepreneurship research and VC. he started applying for research internships. After MiM he started looking for Ph.D. program and the first, admit came and it was from his dream School INSEAD with a fully-funded Ph.D. and stipend. As soon as he received admission from INSEAD he withdrew applications from all other schools as he had promised INSEAD during the interview that if given an offer I’ll surely join INSEAD and INSEAD is the best school for entrepreneurship and VC research. This was his journey from a tier 3 town in India to INSEAD.
