Had been worried about my CG as well as more than required yrs of WE.[/quote]

Oh Nice credentials. I guess 10+ years of work ex would have worked against you more than anything else since B is concentrating more on 6-8 range! & also, I don't think B is a right program for you. A would suit you more for your work ex. Just my opinion though

I am a r-1 admit and had my WAT on skype.

WAT will happen 30 min before your interview. You will get a link which will enable your comp screen to an invigilator. Do this 5 min before start of your WAT timer. After that you will receive an email with the topic. You need to write around 250 words on it. Take your stand on the topic and present it coherently ending with a conclusion. It should be in a paragraph format and not bullet points. Make sure you have 5 min left for proof reading.

Also, do not panic out too much over it. Just calmly think about what stand you want to take and why and quote the same. After you are done just email back your response to the same id.

Good luck!

Went through the Posts in this thread and saw couple of post stating that 10 years plus WE have not been selected on purpose.

Anyone with more than 10 years work ex, who got an Admit for 2018 Intake. I will be applying to 2019 intake , hence wanted to see if the 10 plus WE is a deal breaker for IIMB.
