[2014-2016] IIM Bangalore Interview Shortlist and Related Discussions

Is ther any format to get reference from work place and college....pls guide me frnds...

Hello. Got 4 mails from IIMB with intimation. Then got a mail with interview date. I called their office and they said my SR number was there in the shortlist.

Here's my profile:- 10th-94%, 12th-89.8%, BE-80.5%, Work Exp: 47 months.
CAT : Verbal 90.5, Quant 91.8, overall 93.78.

And I was selected under general merit. Is this for real?
Please, no hate messages from all the 99 percentilers. Just want to know whether anyone else with a similar profile was selected.

This is the Bonafide Final year Certificate format that the 2013-15 batch used. In case you don't find the format in the link provided you may use this.

This is only for people who are still in their final year of graduation.

Got the interview details mail, but i haven't received the mail with link details!

In the website it shows i am selected, what to do?

and yes Grad score of 9.15 DGPA( 84.75%)

CAT 2013 has def been a mixture of emotions. After getting consistent >95% in Aimcats and top ten in almost all pagalguy mocks, was devastated to see my 94% CAT 13 score. And just when i was almost done banging my head & cursing the indecipherable "normalisation" process, I received a call letter from IIM B!! 0_O

Never knew my 95% in X and 97% in XII from loonnggg ago wud make such a difference!! \m/

Got the interview call.

OA-99.75; QA-99.43; VA-98.77
Workex- 32 Months
Happy to see calls going to 94-95 percentiles with good work ex. Atleast one IIM has a global outlook.

I really don't understand the basis for rejecting my appln.. Would be grt if sum1 can help me figure it out.. I wouldn't be able to slp over it!!


CAT Score - 96.82 Q-95.87 V- 93.44.
CA /CFA (1st attempt)
10th - 86
12th - 83
TY - 86

Work Exp - 21 months..

I still didn't understand the referrals part. How to get from 3 different people by entering emails etc. And as I graduated last year and took a drop and therefore do not have work ex, whom should I approach for referrals?

Hi Seniors, Could you please shed some light on the component 'References' of the PGP application form. Some specific questions would be

(i) Who could be a 'good' referee?
(ii) What points should the referee stress on in his/her referral?
(iii) How much would the references impact the final admission into the institute.
Do pitch in with pertinent points, if any.

Thanks in advance!!
