Got done with mine :

extempore topic : border skirmishes are common with India’s neighbors. Should india cutoff all ties with them or start a new method of building relationship? (Vaguely it was this) Rest was about work ex (analytics) and why pgpx and why now. Lot of grilling and cross questioning happened throughout. Not sure how to judge the experience.

Hi, At IIM Ahmedabad, the current students run a non-profit initiative called "Pay It Forward Mentorship". They can take your mock interview. Not sure if they are accepting any responses right now, but I had one the day before my interview. You can contact this profile on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/varunvprabhu/

Anyone who’s gone through the interview, could you share where you read up about the current affairs bit?
For current affairs, I suggest you go to https://www.drishtiias.com/current-affa ... editorials
It is actually for UPSC prep, however it summarizes all the articles and news from papers like Hindu, ET and Mint. You will find current affair topics and daily news editorials. You can also search for the topics on their website.

Does anyone have an idea on the acceptance rate post interview?

Or

What is the ratio of Selection to Interview invites?

I think should be in a ratio 1:3.5 overall or close to that.

In the application , do we need to upload the original score card received from GMAC after accepting the scores or uploading a scanned copy of the unofficial scores will do the job?
Also, usually how much time does it take to get the official scores over mail?

A copy of the scorecard would suffice if you still don’t have the official scorecard.

It usually takes 5-8 days for the official scorecard to be made available.

Does PGPX has a laid down weightage of marks for PI, Academics, Experience and GMAT? Or post PI call its just the experience and the interview?

One of the current students informed me that they will release it earlier than 17

It can be next week or the week after that

Last year it was early because of online interviews? Typically in the past they were sending the results as per the stipulated dates I guess. Will be great if it is indeed early this year too.

I have heard, from previous batches, that they hand out candies kept on the table in form of a signal that you might be selected. Is it true?

It’s called "toffee conundrum". It is usually in the case for PGP interviews as much as I have heard. When I had my interview at the campus recently for PGPX they didn’t have a candy bowl on the table. Anyhow, it is not a clear indication of selection.

I declined it, so have I declined the seat as well?

Unfortunately, yes. You’re not interested in what IIMA has to offer. Why man, why’d you say no? The candy crush(ed) your chances.
