Hello Everyone! Welcome to this thread for IIM Ahmedabad PGPX 2023 intake Admission discussions. Admissions schedule: https://www.iima.ac.in/web/pgpx/apply/ PGPX Admission Office mail id: pgpxquery@iima.ac.in / agm-pgpx@iima.ac.in Let's start the discussion here. All the best!

There will be a bowl full of papers folded into chits (like raja, mantri, chor, sipahi). You will randomly select one chit, open it and read the topic. If you like the topic, you can go ahead. However, in case you do not like the topic, you can take one more attempt. If you go in for a second time, you will have to mandatorily go ahead with the second topic and you cannot revert back to the first one.

When does IIM starts sending results of the Interview

The results for R1 would be out on Oct 17, 2022 as mentioned on the official web portal

Thanks ! How long is the extempore ? And how much is the prep time ?

Nothing is sacrosanct. You take around 45-60 secs to prepare and then speak for another 3 mins. Further questions and discussion depends on how much of juice is available in it for the penalist to grill you.

Can everyone send here the extempore topics they had? We can make a list of all the topics

Mine was: Online platforms have very high valuations. Should investors be weary of it.

My topic: Large firms should allow their talented employees to have a spin off and start their own companies with buy back options.

Below are some of the topics I collected from the people I met during the interview: Should road travel be made free!? (No tolls) Should government hospitals be privatized given their abysmal state? Midday meal schemes are an unnecessary freebie? Platform startups are overhyped and their valuations are unjustified?

thank you so much! Might be silly question, but guys, what attire did you go with for interview? Business casuals can translate to polos and trouser but just want to be sure.
