PhD/FPM 2014

i wish to apply to iim for fpm programmes.

but my dilemna is that i m yet to take gate exam which is scheduled in feb n results will b in march
what shall i write in the application form mentioning the qualifying exam. n wat abt the recommendations

I have a lot of confusions about the FPM programme. I'm a fresher and I'm in doldrums about applying for FPM. Here's my profile:


CAT Score : 99.61
Xth: 94.4 %age
XIIth : 83.2%age
Grads : Chem Engineer
GPA: Will be around 7.0 by June.
Calls from IIM C , IIM K (as of now)

No Projects or seminars or conferences in anything remotely related to economics.BUT..

Interested in Finance and thinking about a Phd

With such a bland profile and only a decent CAT score, do I stand chances of an FPM conversion at either A, B or C?


@varun.jindal , that thread is becoming heavy . So we can start a new one here . I have not submitted any score to IIM - I as RAT was the eliminator . However I will do submit the score of GMAT when I take it in February . What about you buddy ?

hii friends ..i m new on this page..
