There are 3 emails. One with confirmation, one informing that we can refer the website (although the website doesn’t work) and another with the interview details.

If you have got the first email, you should definitely ensure you get the time, date and location of the interview.

For the selected/shortlisted students they are sending the details/location time and date i.e. 24 or 25 Aug to the applicant’s email. I believe anyone who has received this invitation mail are shortlisted for Round 2 WAT/PI

WAT and PI.

If you are looking for Mock interviews with IIMB Alumni trained in Admission interviews, please PM.
(Last few slots available)

Remember these key points while preparing for interviews:

1) Read you application and essay many times and be ready to explain each and every word on it
2) Have strong answers for why you need an MBA (Avoid generic gyaan that many others have repeated before you)
3) Do not LIE (you will get caught very easily)
4) Show that you are eager and have already done your research about the program

Hi Rahmath,
Your profile is suitable for these 1 year MBA programs. However, you have a number of job changes and varied positions which needs to be explained well in the application and essays/SOP. A comprehensive application and essays/SOP will make or break your chances at these programs. Aim for a good GMAT score, ideally around the 645 (GMAT FE) range ( a bot lower will also work). Your commerce background brings in diversity and hence is an added plus in this situation.
Reach out to me for further questions.
Tridisha (IIM B, EPGP)

I practiced from 5 mocks of EG. Found them good. Some DI questions were a level higher than GMAT I felt, but overall good

If a GMAT retake is possible, do explore the opportunity. A 595/605 (650 equivalent) could make a much better case for you than a 565. Also, a 595/605 from a 565 shouldn’t take much of an effort!

The WAT topic that we got on 25.Aug.2024 morning batch was "The UNDP's HDI is second most used indicator for country's growth after GDP, HDI includes looking for parameters like income, education, health as well as it looks for inequality, are the healthcare system good enough to respond to pandemic. From last two year the rank of India remains to be 132 out of 188 countries. Do you think this is fair assessment of India's performance?"
