hi anybody good at DI , could u suggest how to ace it?

This year it’s different at IIMA because of govt reservations so keep your category in mind before thinking of any cutoff score

from past reference, the PGPX waitlist has moved earlier than expected. There was some movement last year starting from November- Early December.

Do you mean that the waitlist has already started to move for this year?

No I am referring to the last year’s movement

Okay, thanks for your insights!

Were the R1 results out on the exact date specified on the IIM A website?

Yes

Thank you

Appeared for interview on 16th Nov for IIMA PGPX which went okayish. They were grilling hard in extempore and work ex. But I did manage to give answers in all.. kuch m satisfactory thaa and kch m they crossed and I agreed to their points also. But they had no reactions as such jisse I could predict anything.. they were smiling also and normally discussing it also..

My extempore topic was
Should India mimic the western consumerism in order to achieve its sustainable objectives.
Prof. Sunil Sharma and Prof. Swanand Deodhar were there in my panel.

Any luck/chances for the final admit?

Hi amitsahoo97

The solid IIT pedigree definitely works in your favor. What specific roles have you held at ONGC? The competition is particularly tough for government/PSU candidates, and IIM A will need to be convinced of strong differentiation areas to offer you that admit. Keep in mind, IIM A has even waitlisted some impressive PSU candidates in previous round, so your prospects will depend heavily on how you stand out. What goals did you present during the interview, and did the panel delve into deeper discussions about them? (That’s usually a positive indicator.)

I hope you’re applying to other programs too because with IIM A’s limited 100-something seats, it’s good to keep options open.

I have worked in domains including supply chain management, project management, contracts and procurement.. along with that I was also involved in various events involving sports, quizzing and leadership qualities during my academic and professional experience

ok. On the positive side, the strong feeder pipeline from PSUs to supply chain design and operations roles/ strategy (with that IIT tag) might encourage the school to give you a chance. I hope it works out positively for you. Best of luck!

can a person apply in multiple rounds...if say he gets rejected in R1 and can he apply in R2 again?
