Hi All,


I've just applied for IIMC PGPEX program today. However my Class X & XII marksheets and certificates are not attested. Is it mandatory??

However, My college transcripts are attested by Academic Registrar.

Pls confirm if attestation of Class X & XII marksheets are mandatory. If yes, then what should I do.

Secondly, by when will my referee get the email communication from IIMC?




Guys, I submitted the application yesterday with my previous designation and as a fate of destiny, today I am promoted to Project Manager. Should and if yes, how do I inform IIM C Ad-com about this ?

Hi, One of my referee has not received any email from IIMC? What to do in that case. I have already submitted my application. Please help.

IIM Calcutta's 2 Year PGDM course has been ranked No. 1 in India (Globally no. 13th)  by Financial Times....

@IIMCPGPEX Can you throw some light on approximate number of applicants this year?

@IIMCPGPEX I was going through last year Interviews question...I felt it was quite different from other B schools , where candidates have been asked quant questions and questions related to finance. Also does IIM C admit students with manufacturing background to this course...or they ask everyone to join VLM course...


hi, last date seems gone now.....I want to do full time executive MBA from some leading B School. Can any one suggest programme which is open

Did anyone check with adcom about shortlist date by any chance?

hi, any one having any idea when the placement details of the 2014 batch would be out?

Hi, have a query. I duly filled the application form for IIM C on time. 

One of the referees also sent the reference for me on time. But the second referee, who happens to be a senior person (director level),

could not send the reference. He was out of India, on business trip and got to contact him today. will my candidature stand cancelled?

Will one reference not be sufficient? I am writing to the admission cell. But i am bit nervous as this college was high on my list.
