arunkishorres, even I am facing similar issues.

my referee informed me that the reference is limited to 254 characters

I have written to EPGP office for clarification on this issue

" The value for the field ’ Long description’ (IIMB_AAPL_RF1_T.DESCR254) was over by 707 characters. Reduce to 254 or less characters.
A long edit box on the page allows essentially unlimited text, but the record field specified that the field is of fixed length. You entered a value longer than the limitation, so the value requires truncation to fit the record field.

note its 254 characters.. not even 254 words

Yes. I am not sure if all round 2 applicants faced this or just the ones who are submitting their application recently.

Round 2 applicants.. if anyone didn’t face this issue. Kindly let us know.

Nope. I do not have the mail as of now. 254 characters is about 40 words. So i think we should limit it to that.but dunno how efficient it might be.

There were no such limitations for the round1. This issue might be because they have migrated to new ERP system. not sure though..it’s better to drop a mail to the admission team to get the clarity. Certainly 254 characters is the error in their system
