mikaku, Were there any questions on general knowledge/current affairs in the interview?
They didn't explicitly ask any GK questions, but I believe they were looking for some current affairs knowledge in the field you are working in, so like i was asked How do i keep myself updated regarding technology and the tech market.

I am applying for IIM A/B/C in round-2. while taking GMAT I didn't opt for any colleges to which I can send scores directly. Is it necessary to send scores directly from GMAC while applying to IIM A/B/C? Can we send the scores after getting shortlisted?

You don't need to send scores while applying. It is only after shortlisting.

You do not need to select programs during GMAT exam. But you have to send official scores (directly from GMAC) along with application otherwise application will be treated as incomplete. Selecting programs at a date after GMAT exam will cost you around $25-30 per program. It is advisable you select target programs during GMAT exam.

Mine was in the mine afternoon.

Least wait time compared to A or C.

They asked about the projects I undertook, asked me to defend numbers I used, cross-questioned, I have international experience (asked about learnings), what I read

No GK or current affairs asked, no problem solving

And ofcourse, why MBA, why IIM-B, and very interestingly what if you get into both A and B - which would u select (trick question)

Ok..so the topic was the same for all the candidates who appear on the same day. Similar to offline WAT. My test started by 07:45, so I thought each candidate was given a separate time slot and topic. :D

Does anyone have an idea as to whether:
1. the final shortlist of R1 will be declared earlier than Oct 15 as per website?
2. GMAT scores are for shortlisting for interview and composite scores for final selection?

1. It is possible it could be released earlier. But if not we have a date.
2. Composite score for overall application.

venkpp, As per feedback from the previous batch, IIMB usually stick to the dates mentioned on their website.

Composite score wise, IIM A B C have not given an official version

IIM L has it on their website
