IIM Bangalore: Interview Shortlists for 2013-15 Batch

@abhi.iimb Thanks

seniors for getting 3 referrals will i have to send it to all three one by one or i can send it separately. also its written that i will be getting an send email option but i am not finding it........please help.......

@abhi.iimb : I have a small doubt regarding the references while filling the application form .
In instructions ,it is said that "If your referees are not able to access 'Online reference' page, please request them to ask the System / Network administrator of their Organization to permit access."
Is it mandatory to give organization Email id of the refernce person ..? or is it fine to provide gmail id of that person ?

Thanks in advance :)

Gokul, Official email-id is always preferred as that gives more credibility. Otherwise, personal id's can also be used.

One by one will do. I guess you haven't saved the details...please play around with that and you will know what needs to be done.

@aditya2789 B and L do 😃
S duznt..it thinks CAs can get 82.5% marks..lame
@abhi.iimb ..I had 6 subjects in 10th ( one extra language paper)...neglecting that my percentage is higher..but that subject is there on my 10th score card..should I use only the 5 main papers to calculate 10th percentage..or do I have to calculate it using all 6 subjects...
@aditya2789 Congrats btw :)
@abhi.iimb sir, while filling the online form I entered the XII marks as 92.7. But it is actually 92.83. whether it will cause any failure in my cadidature.??
@albiesriram Sriram: No worries 😃 Just that your composite score came down by a fraction.

Congrats to everyone who got call 😃

@abhi.iimb @barnawal009 Thanks. Could u guys please tell me if I need to provide any kind of proof for the references as to their designation, company etc. I mean if its just email id anybody can have it written by some friend of his.
@abhi.iimb Will a referral each from employer, college HOD/prof and school principal better than one from employer and 2 from college profs ?

sorry, but I might sound stupid with the following qs:

a) The completed app needs to be submitted on or before 23rd Jan. Does that mean the Recos too need to be completed by then?

b) In the online app form, I do not see any subsection for Extra Acads. Am I missing it out or is it actually absent in the form?

Thanks.

@facemash You never know, they can even call and verify. So if you are thinking of coming to IIM Bangalore, start practicing the ethics from now onwards. You will get lots of people to write reference. Ask from your college professors otherwise from your seniors who are at some good position. They all will be happy to write it :)

Sir, Whether political references or references from tehsildars will be accepted? or it should be strictly from his/her employees/ college officials.? Just for the clarification purpose. I have received good accolades from the former of the two.

@vinu1990 Both will be fine, but if I would have been in your place, then would have gone for 2nd option, but both are equally good.
