It seems there’s no confirmation email on submission of application. There’s a tick mark above final submission and all edit options now invisible in the web portal. I hope that’s the only confirmation.

you might have received payment confirmation message from IIMA. Check for that. Payment happens only after you submit the application.

Yes, they send out in one go. Last year for R2 or R3, they sent them out earlier and the essay submission deadline (IIMA) was made very close to the ISB and IIMC deadlines. Hence, expect a few surprises later on and start preparing your essays and for interview in advance.

Any leads on prepping for current affairs for interview?

request successful candidates if they can share what topics one should prepare and how much depth one should have on the topics

Last year, it was about why you want to go for an MBA in these challenging times? For R2, this changed to how do you handle volatile situations?
The other two essays- ’how you’ll add value to your peers and professors’ and ’Additional info’ remained the same.
Here’s the essays and interview analysis from last year: https://youtu.be/R1rD636c0Aw

Will post the analysis this year on the channel as soon as the topics are out.

Anything under the sun is open! Few IIMs even asked concepts from your undergrad subjects. By and large, the IIMs are looking for how informed your are and do you have an opinion around what’s going on in the world. Hence, it is important so start prepping now.

You need to speak extempore on topic selected thru chit system. and you can choose a second chit once only.

Correct me if m wrong but that’s what I have heard from those who appeared in interviews. And this is in addition to usual questions on why MBA, why now, why IIMA, strength and weaknesses and hobbies

yes. If you choose the 2nd one, you’ll have to speak on that topic itself.
