@liveurlifefully said:
hi all..is anyone facing issues with references not able to provide details?my reference got a passcode..after tht he got Outlook Web Access page... what will be user id password there?... he tried with organizational id and password as well..but its not working...
i got the same prob... wasted full day speaking over phone to admission office..finally, i just removed that referee details and submitted again and to send new mails. it worked and new link was sent. from there, when my referee logged in , it worked..
But that admission office mam didnt understand my problem at all... my referee got tensed. he checked and logged in from his mail for more than 30 times. disturbed him over phone a lot... i don na how he had given me the rating ... as it goes, i ought to get from him as the server problem is common to whoever i get from my collge. God oly knows ....i wonder guyd are discussing the qs asked.. still i don na what is there in that form and what is asked... anyhow, i solved the problem myself and looking forward..
i just post this as i felt others donot want to suffer due to this microsoft web access problem...

@Asadali scan the marksheets as jpeg files, and then convert them to PDF at www.
pdfonline
.com/
convert
-
pdf
/

You can then merge the multiple PDF files at www.
pdfjoin
.com/

This kept it at less than 1MB.
Hope it helps.
Hi Aditya.
I am unable to bring the file below 1 MB even after doing that. Dont know how to proceed.

@abhi.iimb Sir, I'm a Chartered Accountant. I didn't take up job after CA, hence a fresher. Can I give one of my senior's (A senior during my CA Internship) name in the references? Besides, I've decided to give one of my coaching teacher's name. He taught me both during CA Inter and Final, so knows me pretty well. And the third, one of my school teacher's name. Does that look fine? Please help.Thanks a lot
@Hannah_

Instead of a senior, it would be better to include some person who was in a supervisory position during your CA internship (could be your mentor/guide/manager/team-lead ).
I am not sure if anybody here mentioned his coaching teacher as reference. In case you go ahead with him/her, please mention the official designation at his/her workplace.

@abhi.iimb
Thank you.. Is there any process like assigning mentors.. And if there is.. When will that take place..?
@dheeraj53: In all likelihood, yes. The academic council at IIMB will be contacting you shortly.
@abhi.iimb - Can you please tell me what do fill in in case, I have shifted jobs in the work experience column?
I can only fill in the details of the first job there right? I am currently employed, but elsewhere. So should I tick in the check box for that?

@nkashimpuria Please put the 10 digit Cellphone number of your referee. Anyways, the email address is still available to establish contact. I did the same thing last year.

@pratham.sonu25

Why do you want your referee to wait till 23rd? If some server/system issue crops up on that day, you may miss the deadline. As soon as your referee is finished with the details that are to be filled up, the feedback/referral form can/should be submitted.

@krazyTraveller You will have to provide details for both the jobs/workplaces.

Hi @abhi.iimb
I am unable to get the file of consolidated marksheets and degree below 1 MB. If at all it is coming it is exactly 1 MB and that too a blurred one. How to go about this?

@Asadali Please try out and evaluate the different free pdf softwares available on the internet. While taking a print of the consolidated marksheet document (in MS word), save it as a pdf.
Check with the other guys who have done it successfully.
