I was mostly asked about world economics, how world bank & imf functions, how price of oil is regulated, and how singapore became a trade hub.

Thats it.. Over in 10 mins. No why mba or why iimc or job related ques. Anyone faced such questions during their interview?

I was asked the question in a different way. Why an MBA even after an M. Tech?

I told them that I need to cash out from the diversity of the cohort for making myself a diversely knowledgeful person who can be able to fit in different shoes at a time.

Hi Everyone, Some of you have reached out to me regarding help on IIM-A essays. I was able to reach out to Abhishek Chawla for some guidance on the essays and he has agreed for a session. Since the deadline is Sep 17th, we are doing this session on short notice.

More details are here https://gmatclub.com/forum/topic334029.html#p2621032

Congratulations to all those shortlisted for interview (Round 2)

Focus on preparing for commonly asked questions (such as Why MBA, future goals, why IIMC) and questions specific to your profile (career, success and achievements, anything written on the application).

For Mock interviews with alumni, PM me.

Tridisha

Hi,

Did any shortlisted candidate receive the email yet?
I checked the result on website and it was mentioned there to send your confirmations to [email protected] at the earliest.
Are we supposed to write an email to the given email id or will there be any link in the email for confirmation?

Also, does IIM Calcutta MBA-EX also has any activity in interview such as Extempore (IIMA) or WAT (IIMB)?
Do they also ask questions based on undergraduate subjects and current affairs or is the interview limited to application material (like ISB)?

Hey guys, so I am in big confusion here.
I applied in round 2 and checked on website, it says I am not shortlisted for interviews. However, I got email that I got shortlisted.
Anyone faced similar issue?

I have already mailed them regarding the same.

Thanks in advance!
