@abhishek.b11 on 18th feb
hmm ok.. I have my IIM and SPJIMR interviews on 16th feb.. but the former at 8 30am and the other at 2:00pm.. same city.. so i guess i should be able to make it...
what about u??

@elukariya even i tried calling them to explain my case, but they were not even ready to listen to anything. the guy sounded very rude to me. he again and again iterated that nothing can be done, irrespective of how serious the problem is. I told him I have a fellow student who is ready to swap interview dates with me, so that they do not have any logistics issue as well. But he wont listen a thing.
I think, of all the people, Admissions staff should be considerate to student's grievances. IIM Raipur should place some rational staff in their admissions office who would atleast listen to student's problems and try finding a solution, instead of just being adamant on one single line 'the dates cannot be changed, you should have thought about it before giving CAT'.
@vaibhavkr buddy leave apart the this change in schedule thing, the format for a call to any of the iims is also ridiculuous..i would rather prefer GMAT next year and go out..in case this year turns out unlucky..
the system here doesnt let you thrive and then the peoblem of brain drain is what the country people cry about..:(

@vaibhavkr same thing happened wid me...

@abhishek.b11 different cities... in new delhi( IIM ) n in mumbai (sp jain ).. :/
@vaibhavkr were u trying on +91-771-2772500 or some other number??i haven't had success since morning :(
and reading the tales of requests from others makes me feel less and less hopeful of getting an interview scheduled
@gauravak yes dis is d number to contact dem ..be prepared to loose all ur hope
@gauravak this numbe only buddy..:P
My understanding is , all new IIM's have common WAt and PI , nothing specific to IIM Raipur,

Is it correct?What i was thinking about WAT is , its only written and no GD will be taken . Kindly clarify same.

Hi

Do we have to post the marks for all the subjects mentioned in the mark sheet or only best 5 for ICSE? As taking the best 5 greatly increases my class 10th score.

Please help.

Thanks

What is difference between EXTRA-CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES and Co-Curricular Achievements ??
Important:

Spoke with the Chairperson, Admissions. Please find below important things to note:
1. Request for change of Venue/Date will be considered
-> ONLY if it clashes with the older IIMs and
-> For genuine medical reasons.
2. People shortlisted for only IIML ABM & new IIMs and who din't get call for WAT/PI of new IIMs, you will be notified in a few days about your status. Don't worry. Issue will be sorted out. Start preparing for WAT/PI.

Guys i have around 40 certificates, for extra and co-curricular activities, should i have to show them all the certificates. In these 40 certificates around 10 are for participation only. Please reply!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No issues bringing all but its better to mention about the certificates which could serve as your highlights.
