IIM Bangalore: Interview Shortlists for 2013-15 Batch

@cricpuy I read your post which said Pg 4 pt 11 etc.... could you pls share the link for the pdf...the one i got in the mail is showing page not found....
@sabyasnata

Just a pointer about the SOP.. It is always better that the SOP should be in a flow... Many people take different approaches... Its best if you can write it in the form of a story, every quality that you mention should be supported by some achievement from your past.. It creates a good impression.. Otherwise its like the candidate is shooting arrows in the air..

P.S : Its always better to be completely honest.. There will be seasoned interviewers in the panel
I tried updating my Graduation details in the form. I'm a final year engineering student.I have a few queries about filling the form.
1) I've received my grades till my 6th semester. But my mark sheets are available only till the 5th semester. I will not be able to upload 6th semester mark sheet. I can provide a link of the webpage for proof. Is this alright?

2) My marks are getting updated in the "Enter/Update marks" link, but my details regarding Institute Name and Branch are not getting saved.Kindly tell me what to do regarding this.

3) I'm from Chennai and we have government holidays on 14,15th( Pongal Festival). The shortlist results were announced on 11th. 12,13th was a weekend. So I will have only 5 working days before the deadline. I might not be able to get recommendation in such a short span of time. Is there any possibility of an extension?

Hi,

I have a query here , how much time does it take for the referee to receive the passcode..

My referee has received the link but no passcode.

Will the passcode be directed to the referee mail-id or is it required to drop a mail to the administration office?

1. I think that should do it. but mail admissions to confirm.
2. Fellow puys can help regarding this.
3. No extension will be given. deadlines are sacrosanct here. somehow you have to get those recommendations.

Guys, I have a query regarding the employment section...the form asks us to choose the industry type.....but it does not list management consulting as an option...but there is an option named "Services-Competitiveness". Should i choose this or use 'Others' option?

@elflord thank you. I've mailed the admission office too. And yes, another doubt. I'm a fresher but the Work Experience tab is marked compulsory..will I be able to submit my form without filling it?
@mayank1009

I think Consultancy can be put forth in the services section.... But it will be better if you wait for a few more replies... Or you can ask the admin section

can the referees be some our batch frnds working for reputed organisations? Or compulsorily they have to taken from one's boss?

@manoj_campion

Absolutely not... Please refer to your instructions.. Am pretty sure it is mentioned there that referees cant be friends.....

@ricsani Facing the same problem...

and for 10th 12th mark sheet can we upload it in pdf format?

@cricpuy Click on the first degree, which is there by default, taken from you CAT application form and then udpdate the fields.

how can i update my grad percentage? 10th 12th and grad marks seem to have been kept fixed

My referee has submitted his reference successfully. But haven't received any confirmation yet. Neither the status has changed. What to do now??

@ricsani I dunno (I am just another applicant)..perhaps grad marks can't be edited.
Any senior who is from WBUT, please inform that do we need to show any proof of DGPA to Percentage conversion? I dint find any such formula for that i directly multiplied my DGPA with 10 to get the percentage. Please inform me as my IIM A & B dream is associated with it
