IIM Bangalore: Interview Shortlists for 2013-15 Batch

@hd_nemesis No issues at all. Work supervisor, college faculty both will be fine.
@kunalp23 Yes, but college faculty and Work supervisors are preferred.
@abhi.iimb Hey, Can you please help me understand something..

OA - 98.56
QA - 93.01
VA - 99.18

10th - 95
12th - 91.4
Grad - 90

No work-ex. I am pursuing Engineering.

Can you please explain to me why I did not get a call with the above credentials? I saw somebody has posted that they got a call at 95 and somebody at 97 with worse 10th, 12th and grad scores than mine...!
@adish1287 Please call the admissions office and send an email to them immediately.
1.Am from a PSU. Here i cant get the reference directly from any boss, as the HR persons are the only persons eligible to give us such things. How to deal this?.

2. Should we give official email ids of referrals?
@abhi.iimb thanks abhi


@abhi.iimb i cannot call the admission ofc till monday.. i have written a mail though to [email protected] requesting to send the letter to my current address.. i hope its fine.
@nandhawillcrack Which PSU are you from? I'd try to check with my batchmates.
@abhi.iimb Try to give them a call tomorrow morning. Last year they worked on Saturdays I can remember.
@abhi.iimb thank u, i had pmed u

Got through to the shortlist...


seeing people with above 99.5 not getting calls

feel like CAT is becoming another GRE . score doesnot matters

HI all,

does the reference letter got to be from my employer ie line manager or senior or collegue
or from my Engineering College or combination of Both??????
@abhi.iimb
Hi,
Is it possible to change the mailing address ? Just in case you have an idea...
Thanks,

@AnkitCat2012 Not sure Ankit....you can talk to the admission office and send them an email...

Thanks for answering @abhi.iimb . Much appreciated :)

@Aniruddha23 any one or a combination of both

@@abhi.iimb and others

I am a fresher with 2 internship experiences with MNCs.

Would a reference letter from my internship mentor count?

Also, would a reference letter from the School vice principal count or the faculty has to be from the college only?
Am not too comfortable with the idea of Engineering faculty recommending me for a BSchool (as they generally dont know their students very well).

Please answer my query.

@abhi.iimb & others plz help - They've mentioned about 3 recommendation letters. I'll face lots of trouble collecting these from my office as then my seniors will come to know that I'm trying to leave my company.& From whom can I collect it? Colg prof or HODs will do?what about colleagues?Does recm letter necessarily have to be written in official pad with stamp(Coz my team lead/supervisor have neither of the two).Could it be a printed mail? My qstn may sound funny but I dont have any info regarding these.So help me out.
@abhi.iimb can you please tell us what is the 90th percentile score for X and XII which IIM B has used this year to adjust our scores. IIM A has a clear cut formula by which we can get to a precise figure and check ourselves whether selection process is clean or not. Please tell IIM B to come up with such a clean figure.
