Here are my few cents on how I filled the form and how I downloaded Personal data form and Interview letter. This post is for those who are not able to complete the form.
(Please bear with me as it would be a long post, so, read patiently as it may be of some help to you.)
NOTE: I know only about PGP form. I was shortlisted for PGP and PGP ABM. I didn't apply for PGPSM. And during the time of form filling I refrained to show my interest in PGP ABM.
STEPS
1- On first page you upload your photo and signature and other documents like graduation, 12th marksheet etc. then there is a button at the bottom which says "verify and submit" Press it and then you go to next page where you see all the documents that you've uploaded.
2- Check those documents one by one by clicking view.
3 - Then you have to click the button at the bottom which says "proceed" On the next page you'll have to fill in details of Work experience, Extracurricular activites n all... fill them and proceed.
4 - Then you see a button which say Final submit. Before final submit you are asked to review your form. DO REVIEW your form before submitting.
5 - And then you get to a page where you have an option to download the Personal data form and Interview call letter. That's it. Download them. So, that's the whole procedure.
PRECAUTIONS
1- USE MOZILLA FIREFOX. As it has been mentioned in the form somewhere.
2 - If there is too much TIME DELAY in all the compressing thing and you are still logged in then don't upload in this session. Log out and log in again. As the data don't get uploaded sometimes when you are logged in for quite long. Do all the compressing thing and then log in again & then upload everything.
3 - For those who are saying their Extracurricular activites are not displayed.
If I remember correctly, there was a button "SAVE" below every section and same was true for Extracurricular activites. Did you press the save button of Extracurricular activites before submitting? If no, then it might be the reason that your Ex. activities are not displayed.
4 - People who are PGPSM shortlist have to fill SOP questions.
Things which I observed after downloading the form and Interview letter:
Empty columns of below mentioned fields.
- Nationality
- Contact no.
- 10th Max marks and Marks obtained.
But, we can't do anything about this as the data has been retrieved from TCS data base, so, you've no option but let it be blank as it can't be filled.
It is not your fault as it should have been retrieved from TCS database.
By the way, it should be of no concern to you as if you see logically they already have your data in TCS data base and if they'll have any doubt they will refer to it and confirm your candidature. (Also while filling IIM Shillong form I met with few technical issues like these and when I called admission office they said, "To fill the empty area with pencil and that'll do.") NOTICE: Don't do it in IIM Lucknow form untill IIM L say's this itself.
People who are asking: Any word limit for extra curricular activities?
I wrote somewhere around 75 words. Not faced any word limit as such.
DISCLAIMER:
I'm NOT an official person from IIM Lucknow. I'm a candidate just like you and sharing what I followed to fill the form. So, to believe what I've written is totally on reader's discretion. This post is only to help those who are facing difficulties in submitting their form.
NOTE: Please contact the Admission office on phone (Not on e-mail). Below mentioned numbers are given at the bottom of Interview call letter that I downloaded. Contact them in case you have additional queries.
