IIM Bangalore: Interview Shortlists for 2013-15 Batch

@Asadali said:
Same problem ... But i guess some count up or down is acceptable... Should not be an issue.
Same here ... its hard to shorten :D

@puriApuri said:
A word count of 615 is ok? Or should it be exactly 600.. Seniors please help. i am finding t difficult to cut it beyond this....
Your exact number of words will not be counted and minor aberrations from the stated word limit should not cause any problem. Having said that, 600 words are enough and ideally speaking, you should stick to that. Try harder, cutting down on 15 words will not be an issue.

Someone plz help!

One of the persons from whom I sought reco, called me up to say that he does not have the username mentioned anywhere, so that he can enter the online link provided. He does see some password though. Could someone plz tell me where is he going wrong?

@abhi.iimb @S.K.S /@others: Plz ans all my queries
Can I have the figure of how many students are called for IIMB along with their quotas -gen,obc,sc/st. & no of seats & expected convert ratio.


Do we need to upload each semester's marksheet or only degree certificate will do?
I got 80+ in X & XII & Btech. But its nowhere mentioned in my result about distinction/first class. It's written I got star(75% +) cum 1st division both in X & XII. So can I select distinction for all X,XII & Btech?

Only uploading the degree certificate should suffice if it has the GPAs stated in it. If there is no mention of distinction, I think you should not select distinction. But you might want to ask people from your Board as to whether it is considered distinction or not. As such, it wont matter, the percentages will anyways make things clear.
I do not know about the number of students called or the expected convert ratio, you can ask the PGP office (though I doubt they will entertain such requests). The intake this year was 377.
To get some idea about expected convert ratios, this might help:

Wont be able to help you too much on this one. I would suggest you wait for a day and if it still does not work, call up/mail the PGP office first thing in the morning.

@nandhawillcrack

scan the files.
compress to document size in picture manager
crop unnecessary portions like the edges
select all the files and copy to a new word 2007 or higher doc
Save as PDF.
