1. Does anyone know when are the WL results released? After each round or after all 3 rounds? 2. Has any R1/R2 WL candidate heard back anything from PGPX? 3. Any insights on when WL results were released for 2021 & 2022 intake R1/R2/R3 candidates? Usually how many get WL overall every year, and approx how many make it through?

WL results are declared after all rounds are over. I know few candidates who converted one day before induction of our batch start. So keep hoping! No trend of number of WLs converted - keeps changing every year depending on how many people accept the offers in each round.

Can anybody give a basic idea what one should study for extempore and otherwise for the interview?

Prepare about what macro current events happening in the country. Have an opinion on everything and read more on substantiating your stand. The extempore is not to test your knowledge but to test how you don’t buckle under stress and when contradicted. It is also to test the language- have you written your own essays or someone else has!
All the best

Any idea of when R3 result will be announced . 15-Feb?

I have got IIMB EPGP admit and 3 lakh INR will be forfeited after 23-Jan. I did my interview for PGPX R3 today, and I am quite hopeful about positive result.

9.5 Year International WE. With my WE, I think PGPX suits better.
Any suggestion?

if i were you, I wouldn’t waste 3L and just go ahead with EPGP. Its an excellent program for tech careers and entrepreneurship post MBA.

Between IIMA & IIMB, I don't see that significant a difference really when we look at quality of institutions or opportunities before an individual student. In the same situation, I wouldn't have wasted INR 3 Lakh. It is like 10% of the program cost. The on-campus opportunities for both are about the same either way. So are the future growth prospects.

My topic was : world in an Oyster. Banning export/ import does not help so much. Not exact words but on the same line. My interview was online as I am living in Overseas.
