Has anyone here heard of someone getting rejected in interview in one of the rounds and getting selected in the next? Is it a possibility?

Regime

What is the document verification process like? Do we need to carry certificates for extra-curriculars as well?

If it is for the interview that you’re asking, then just carrying your Aadhar card/ passport. No need to carry anything else.

Hi Dheeraj! Dheeraj0501, I have a few quick questions regarding this message. Asking because i too am contemplating applying in R3– 1) If you had already waitlisted in R2 how did they even consistent your application at R3? 2) Did you apply with a better score? What else changes did you have in your profile? 3) Did you write the exact same essays in both consecutive rounds? 4) If you were rejected on some basis and assuming you applied With a better score in R3 then how were you rejected in R3 but selected in R2? Would be grateful if you could shed some light on these queries.

The IIM A application asks us to submit the confirmation email of our GMAT from GMAC, to ensure that ours was a test centre exam and not in-home one. Now, I had taken GMAT on November 20 and deleted that confirmation mail (from the bin too, I'm a stickler that way). Didn't know I needed to preserve that email. So I went to my mba.com account, took a screenshot of my test dashboard (it shows the centre name, test date, appointment ID etc). Will that do or am I screwed?

Contact the school about the same, I think that should work but can’t be certain about it.

You are applying in R3, nothing to lose. If shortlisted great otherwise you can try next intake.

Shortlisting depends on a lot of factors apart from score. So please write clear roles and responsibilities. Bring out the best points of your profile and see what happens.

I have got rejection in R2 after interview. Should I reapply in R3?Also if I reapply in R3, will it have any impact next year if I get rejection in R3 again and apply next year? I am a CA with 4.5 years of experience.

smnrht hope this finds you well. I recently helped a CA to get an admit in PGPX R2, and I have done a few ding analysis discussions with other CAs post R1 that provided me insights into what works for CAs broadly. First, your experience of 4.5 years is slightly less than preferred at IIM A. You may have been in leadership roles that could help compensate for the low experience aspect, but that would require further discussion. You should also look at schools that fit better with your age and experience.

Second, IIM A looks for (very) strong leadership experience. Applicants, especially CAs who have been in hands-on roles rather than individual contributors and occasional participants in advisory projects, have better odds of being successful. Applicants who present seemingly dry experiences, lacking much character in the essays about the nature of work CAs perform, tend to receive a weaker response during the interviews as well. You might not even be asked much about your experience in an IIM A PGPX interview, so you cannot afford to overlook the essays to get your point across.

Third, have a solid strategy for your goals. This cannot be emphasized enough. Ideally, there should be a story behind your goals. Most CAs possess the theoretical knowledge required to advance in their careers even without an MBA. The rationale for pursuing the PGPX program must go beyond seeking the next promotion or a salary increase. What large-scale problem are you aiming to address, based on your projects and experiences? Alternatively, have you identified a supply gap or an opportunity in the market and do you wish to develop a business model catering specifically to that?

Has anyone here heard of someone getting rejected in interview in one of the rounds and getting selected in the next? Is it a possibility?

Ashwin_Krishnan interviews alone are rarely the reason for a rejection. This does not apply specifically to IIM A PGPX, but in general to top B Schools. An applicant could be having a bad day, and the school would not reject the person based on the interview alone. Pay attention to other potential gaps in your profile and consider whether or not you would be able to show significant improvement in any of these aspects in the next round. The improvement on GMAT, for example, is a common one that can change the adcom's decision between rounds, especially if the applicant has had a less-than-impressive academic record and the adcom is concerned about whether the person will be able to handle a rigorous curriculum. But apart from the GMAT, it's really hard to say what might change the adcom's decision, if weren't even on the waitlist. The IIM A process is very well vetted and there is little room to say that they may not have done a good job evaluating your fit the first time. But I guess, it doesnt hurt to try if that gives you hope.

I missed the webinar. Did they mention anything about by when will they notify shortlists for the essays? In the website it is mentioned 28th but that leaves a very short window for the essays and I have not started working on it yet as I am not too hopeful
