How much percentile is required for FPM at different IIMs? Especially the newer IIMs like Udaipur, Shillong etc?
Which all prestigious colleges will accept the CAT score of 2016 for admission in 2018 for FPM/PhD ?
I'm reading sample SOPs and related content on web. I see that few websites recommend writing fancy stories, is it really required? Can i be formal and tell them What I know, What I expect from the program?
Also can you please suggest what points I need to address in the SOP.
Thanks.
Which are the other top institutes to do PhD/FPM in management APART FROM IIMs, FMS, NITIE, MDI? | @fpm2017
Looking for tips for SOP and Interview preparation for IIM FPMs. Please guide.
LORs:
Will IIM's send a questionnaire to the listed faculty members or they ask to update with a typed letter. I'm planning to complete application after my GRE, hence want to know whether time is enough.
Thanks.
Guys you can share your mail id so that i can forward SOPs that i wrote for IIMs. Few of them are available with me. Rest were handwritten so not available.

Do we have to report GRE scores officially to all IIMs or just the print out/pdf copy is enough? I see that IIMC stresses the need to report officially but I didn't see the trend in other IIMs.
Thanks Guys.
