SJMSOM, IIT Bombay - Admissions [2016-18]

Koi toh PI exp share karo..yeh interviews kaafi khatarnak ho rahi hai..😜

What is qualifying/provisional degree certificate?

@ratneshsvnk From which Gate do I have to enter into campus? Do you provide vehicle (2 wheeler) parking?  What should I ask at security to reach to interview venue?

In the self assessment form I am able to type any no. of lines for answers but when I go for print only few lines are seen(Lines that could be shown within the rectangular box.)....What to do???

Please help...Urgent

i even tried converting to pdf...still no use!

I will reach the campus by 6-7 AM...should I visit hostel H8 or H16..I am a borderline case :-D

The document checklist mentions application form? Can't find that in the portal @ratneshsvnk @ridhim05 Please help

I have missed the deadline for accomodation but can I use one of the hostel rooms to freshen up and change. I will reach the campus at 6 AM. 

does academy interest matters ? Should we follow the same after admission ?

Is there even slightest chance of making it to merit list with a profile score of 27 out of 56 (Cat - 98.48) ? I won't rate myself very good in interviews/WAT. Confused whether i should attend or not ? Don't wanna waste time. Please suggest

Average WAT. Probably 6-6.5/10

PI: P1 (Prof around 50), P2 (Alum around 30-35), P3 (Prof around 50).

P3: Tell us something about yourself in 30 secs which is not there in the form.

P3: What's your score? Me: 99.85

Me: IIM CLK. After than IITB is my best call.

P2: Ok, Why options and not futures? Me: Answered.

P2: Explain Call and Put. Me: Answered.

Me: I don't break the law.

P2: Ok, Let's talk about the current rally in market post budget week.

Me: Yeah highest weekly gains since 2009. Said current rally can't sustain. So will probably dip.

P2: What was the major driving force for the current rally after the dip on 29th when the Budget was released.

Me: Said random crap and obviously he wasn't convinced.

P2: Ok, tell me how GST will help the country.

Me: Said central tax, curbing black money and things like that which we have already memorised.

P2: No no. You did not get the question. Let me rephrase it. Difference between VAT and GST.

Me: IDK 

P1: Why was VAT introduced or think why Sales tax is important and then try to answer this question.

Me: Sorry Sir, still don't get it.

P2: Ok, thank you. We wish you all the best for your future. Please send the next candidate in.

Probably would have scored a lot in the communication and functional knowledge region and messed up in the current affairs region.

(Everyone of Panel K can relate :-P) Was more like a engineering viva than an MBA interview...50-50 chances...and as a fresher now i really doubt my chances..WAT was good though..but PI just average :-( Best of luck everyone else :-)

And Ratnesh and co. Really good job. Very well organised, especially the Kung Fu Panda and the football vids to calm our nerves down. Best adcom of this wat-pi season for me so far :-)

Guys...will consolidated mark sheets do for the verification? Or do I take photocopies of individual mark sheets as well.?

What should one do if he doesn't have authentic proof for 'position of responsibility'?

In our college percentage will be calculated as CGPA*10

As per admission criteria mentioned in site

For percentage 10*(Z-60)/30

Mine according to this 10*(69.80-60)/30 which gives me 3.26 out of 10 marks.

For CGPA 10*(Z-6.5)/30

Mine according to this 10*(6.98-6.5)/3 which gives me 1.6 out of 10 marks.

Please shall i know Why the percentage cutoff  60% and CGPA 6.5-> why it is not 6.0?

Expecting around 50 composite score any chance od convert (nc obc)
