4 points for this
1. Not every city has same number of candidates
2. Not every city has interviews across all the 4 slots, or even both days
3. In Bangalore, I would say on 9th it was around 20-21 candidates across both the slots combined. So, probably less than or atmost equal to that on 10th
4. This time, interviews were held only in 3 cities

So, my guess would be around 120 candidates at max

Another reason to validate my theory is that this group is not that active. Had there been 200+ interviewed candidates, the group would have been active

Haha, that’s the catch
They haven’t explicitly mentioned about how reservation will play out

i think spjimr and iim k’s phase 1 are both so early, many people fall short in applying

So, I would say it’s completely upto their discretion how they are going to admit people

on point no. 5 in website they mentioned - "After the completion of Stage 3, a merit list for admissions will be prepared in each phase. The required number of admission offers will be given in the order of merit, following the Government of India reservation policy." so if merit list is prepared on basis of reservation, i am gone, no chance

Don’t worry bro, keep the hopes high
If your application, profile and interview were good, there is a fair chance

same approx 18-20 mins max. started with what challanges do i face in my work and aligned my answer in the way i wanted, he seems satisfied and asked why an mba now , then explain , he seems satified again and told the other professor to take over, who asked questions on like what were the sujects i studies in UG , were there any subjects related to business and do i follow case studies! and then it ended

the only catch about PGP BL is they didn’t explicitly mention, on what parameter, they will be giving what % of weightage ! if they pulls 35-40% alone from entrance test for making final merit list! i will be doomed

Yeah, even this data is not present anywhere on the internet

Any idea how many people get admit mail in phase 1 ?

i don't know man. i think the numbers will vary significantly, if they follow reservation based merit list vs if they follow non - reservation based merit list
