IIM Bangalore: Interview Shortlists for 2013-15 Batch

@abhi.iimbIs it important that your references must be your employers or faculty?? if that is not the case..are we at a serious disadvantage?
@yoyoball Recommendations from faculty or work supervisor/senior management have a high degree of credibility. They are thought to be the best people to comment on your qualities, strengths and weaknesses as they have observed you closely. That's why most aspirants choose them as referees to strengthen their profiles. Please keep in mind that interviewers evaluate your profile in a scale of 0-10 marks which is part if the final composite score of 105. In a highly competitive selection process, you would naturally like to put your best foot forward.
@kosmicharman This is not the right thread to discuss this question. And without decent acads, even a 99.9%ile in CAT may not ensure a call from IIMB.
@abhi.iimb I am sorry for posting it in this forum! Ty for the advice!
@abhi.iimb Thank you 😃 :)
@abhi.iimb Is it necessary to submit the final year form (In IIM-B format) in original on the interview date?
I had obtained a common final year certificate from my college and had given it while applying online. If I have to submit the same in original it will be an issue. kindly guide.
@abhi.iimb Have the interview started? Can you create a thread for the GD/PI experiences and share the link here?
@Nik_b : Luckily they were working fine ! :D

@carrotilla I've already created a thread and posted the link sometime back. It is http://www.pagalguy.com/discussions/iim-bangalore-2013-15-wat-pi-experiences-25095089/3623468.
All: please do not forget to carry a Photo Id card to IIMB interview. This is also applicable to any other B-School interview.

Hi seniors,

I need a help

in my sop i have written that i want to enhance my operations and interpersonal skills

now i am not able to give very concrete examples from IT industry to relate to operationals

skills i read in interviews they were questioning on every word, can anybody help me out and also provide some material from where i can read abt operations

@RichaNarayan Dude it needs to be why YOU want to study operations, not why somebody else would like to and you trying to pass it off as your own. you can google about ops if you want, but you need to be convinced first to convince the panelists as to why ops.
That apart, try reading about the job profiles of operations graduates or industrial engineers in IT. In fact, if you're in a decently big IT company look for an industrial engineer and talk to them about the kind of work they do and see if you find it interesting.

Hi puys, I have writen about NS Raghavan Centre for Entrepreneurial Learning in my SOP. I heard that if I use the word entrepreneur, I will be grilled. Is it so? Please help. Thanks in advance
I used it. I was grilled. But even if you don't you will be :mg: .. Depends on panel ultimately 😐 .. In Mumbai, Panel 1 grilled everyone 😐 ...

Haven't been shortlisted at 99.92 overall with sectionals at 97.50 and 99.99 respectively in Quant And verbal. 95% in Xth and 91.6% in XIIth and 70.3% in graduation( BA H Economics) No work-ex. I can't believe it. Second reject of the day. What more can I do besides bashing my head against a wall.
I think your profile is just awesome. Although based on what i have seen profiles of people shortlisted by IIMB have weightage of work experience. You being just out of college i presume, IIM B would want you to gain some corporate experience. I am sure you will be handpicked by them once you are experienced enough. All the best.
@abhi.iimb At iim b i was asked to submit the NC OBC certificate dedicated for IIMs, not the normal one. I have the dedicated one with me now. They asked me to scan and send it to the admissions office. may i know the admissions office email id? @abhi.iimb

sent sir. may i expect any acknowledgements? @abhi.iimb

@albiesriram Wait for a few days. You may write to them for a confirmation if you don't get any acknowledgements by then.
