" Your application has been reviewed by the Admissions Committee, and a shortlist of Round-1 applicants chosen for online interview has been established" Why did they write " online interivew " in the email ? Is it gonna be online ? Or just a lazy clerical error ?

Seems to be a clerical error. Same is mentioned for me as well.

Hi guys,

Any guidance on how to prepare for extempore topics? How much weightage do they carry? Has anyone got completely blank in the Extempore round and still managed to secure an admit? Would love to hear your story

I am glad it is useful. I have attached an empty MBA resume template in the link of the debrief. You can download it.

It is a standard template recommended for MBA programs for experienced professionals. You can make changes to the template. Remember that quality matters over quantity.
