Hi,

I finished my interview for EPGP program last week and my NC-OBC Certificate was expired. I have applied for new one and will recieve it next week. I got a mail from EPGP admission team asking to send the certificate for further processing. I can't send it back immediately will this be an issue for me?

I recieved it today and have replied to them that it might take few days to get the certificate. I just wanted to know if anyone else has faced a similar situation.

Hi ManojKumarV
Is there any specific certificate-format IIMB is expecting for NC-OBC? Can you share a link of that or sample copy.

No specific format. Each state has its own. The content is now common for all.

A TCSer with 700 GMAT puts you at just the entry-level spot. A lot would depend on how you showcase your profile, and the quality of your interview. 5-8yrs work-ex Males from IT Services make the largest section of applicants and 690-710 is their usual GMAT range in the interview call pool. Try to get 730+ GMAT to stand a better chance at securing an offer. TAS may help you slightly to get an interview call, but that's about it.

Your chances at ISB, IIM Lucknow & IIM Indore are much better than IIM ABC. Do try over there as well as your current industry is the major hinderance for ABC.

Why do you reckon my chances might be better at ISB? Asking because most candidates I speak to tend to put ISB higher on their list than ex. MBA at ABC these days, wanted to understand if any of the profile pointers work better at ISB?

BTW Thanks for suggestions!

Does anyone know if the results of R1 will be declared a little before 15th Sep (the official date given on the website)? I've been hearing from people that they generally release the results a few days before the official date. Can anyone attest to or comment on this?
