I would like to know a few more things:1. In the biographic details, in case of non married applicants,we have to tick mark the parent column and write our parents' name???2. In my 10th standard percentage,it is showing 88.1 instead of 88.14...... Is it ok???I feel it is because we could fill only upto single digit in cat form.....3.As regards uploading the documents in pdf format,we have to upload coloured scan or black and white would do???4.In the Graduate Section,there is a column called the actual/expected date of exam and date of result.....I have completed my engg and I am not sure the actual date of exam.I jst know when we got our results.....What to fill in the form??Also while going to enter update detail score link,we just have to write our 8 semesters of engineering???Because in the column,there is something mentioned as final.......So we have to write the final percentage also in the final column??

1. can we also write innovations/improvement we have done .
2.i have developed some good Applications which have improved business process and reduced the maintenance cost ,saved some bucks for the company .but all come under the same umbrella doing Application development.

Guys, I feel it is high time we start discussing about our Interview Preparation 😃

It is an IIM Interview. It is a one-time opportunity and by fact, the 'best' opportunity which we can get. So Lets make the complete use of it.

I guess we need to groom ourself in the following areas,
1. Complete understanding about ourself
2. Our 'Why MBA' part and our area of specialization / career goals
3. Our Academics
4. Everything pertaining to our work
5. Social Awareness and Perspectives about the World around us

@SarayuSheshadri @ricsani @CA_Sid @abhi.iimb

Seniors, Can you please throw some light as to how you guys prepared ?

Do let us know your thoughts 😃
