Networking with IIM applicants

Question

Hello everyone,

I hope all of your applications are going well. Would you be interested in participating in a networking call with fellow IIM applicants? If so, please take the above poll and let us know what date and time work for you for the call.

We have recently started doing a few networking calls and they were successful. So, I am interested in trying this idea for IIM's as well.

What do you think about this? Let me know by responding below.

Thanks.

Hi  workout ,

I appreciate initiating the network calls for IIM’s. Thanks for initating this poll.

All the time slots listed are convenient for indian applicants. I understand majority of the applicants are in India. Can you allocate atleast one slot for candidates in US?

I am in Pacific time zone , it would help if we have atleast one slot in my evening time.

Thanks much

Thank you for raising your concern. Unfortunately, if I add a new option now, the poll will reset itself. So, for now, I will let the poll be as is. For future calls, I will add a slot for the Pacific evening time.

Everyone,

Please feel free to suggest the agenda for the call. We can start with introductions and then move on to the application questions but if you have anything else, please post them here.

That's a good start.
1. Intro - 1-2 mins each
2. Application questions
3. Something about IIM that can be shared - specific elective they are excited about/in general. Helpful for people like me with no IIM grads in network
4. Misc.

Thanks  workout  
I hope to know from this session :
Profile for mostly candidates who are in IIM .
Age group and background. 
Also why IIM over other non-Indian colleges.

akadiyan · Answer

The time decided by polls for the meet does not suit the timezone i live in. Unfortunately i cannot attend the meet.

If i attended the network meet , i was hoping to get some information on the below given area's

1. Profile background of the candidates.
2. Opinion about exchange programs in foreign universities.
3. Support for family in the campus for married candidates.

All the best for the meeting
