What is a WAT by the way, what is the format of this test?

The interview invitation mail mentions to acknowledge receipt of the mail,
How should we acknowledge?, by replying to the email itself or there is something else that needs to be done?

I connected with student of previous batch. It seems they did not have WAT as a separate test as such.

Not sure what will happen this time. But in any case, i am open to have discuss and explore more about WAT and mock interview:)

Sorry for the late reply guys...I have been asked to report at 1.15 pm ...moreover to answer some of the questions posted above, generally(and this is a big if...please take it with a pinch of salt everybody)....generally IIM L takes WAT pretty seriously....and some of the topics that they pose are pretty tough ....and that is a gross understatement by itself....so if anyone's open for prepping together...I am all up for it...

I got this list from google....not sure about its authenticity...might as well give it a shot...more importantly what I feel is the topics will be mostly related to present day/recent scenarios that are unfolding globally and/or at a national level

Do we have to write on all topics or only choose one?
What's the time and word limit?
Is the content written on computer or on paper?

Too many questions! Thank you for your patience :D

I guess you are only given one...around 15~20 mins time....and you have to write on paper...
A word of caution though: All of the above are things which I have learnt after accessing google....so take it with a grain of salt...the institute reserves the right to amend any of the aforementioned rules as it deems fit....it would be really interesting if any ex-student or someone from the current batch would comment on this thread
