Hi - how do I submit the IIM-A interview round essays?

I have them all written and saved on the portal, but the ’Save and Submit’ button just saves the draft. It still remains editable. Will the essays get submitted automatically at 11:59 PM today?

Please advise. Thanks!

Hi,

I have a very basic doubt regarding the application for IIM-A PGPX. During registration, it is asked to fill Opted Standardized Test / Going to appear? * (GMAT/GRE). How does it affect the actual application ? Will it only demand the scores of the test selected during the time of registration?

or do we still get an option to submit the scores of either of the tests (depending on the which one the applicant chooses to report).

Thank you in advance.

Hi

Can someone tell me about the LoR process for IIM-A PGPX?

1. At what point are the LoR's required? Is it after you are shortlisted for the essays+interview?
2. How many recommenders required?
3. What's the LoR format, for example what questions are asked?

Regards
Debo

Hi!

Any idea what are the IIM-A official mock interviews like? Is it to check technical issues or do they give an idea of actual interview?

Thanks!
