None of my recommenders have received the mail for submission of LOR. Has this happened with any other applicant too?

It does happen some times. Please reach out the IIM Calcutta admissions office immediately for the troubleshoot or the alternate route.

All the best!

Hello ruhanqureshi,

Hope this finds you well.

We are assuming you have over 5 years of experience.

While no score can guarantee an interview call, we suggest that you aim for a score in excess of 665 on the GMAT; needless to say the higher the better!

Hope this helps.

All the best!

Hello, I failed to convert from interview to admit this year. I am looking to start my GMAT prep again from the scratch. Anyone who is interested to sell out their prep materials, or Official guides to me can reach out. It will be highly appreciated and valuable. Thank you.

I would need a bit of help in deciding which of the following do you suggest to aid my preparation?

1. The Economist.
2. WSJ
3. Economic Times

Assuming I only have money to subscribe any one lol 😇

Hi @anirchat, You dont need any paid subscription. The freely available news in TOI or HT or IE or ET or Mint (whatever suits you) is more than enough.
