This question has come over and over again. R1 has a small advantage over R2. Imagine it to be like R1 having a notional cut-off of 99.96 and R2 has it around 99.97. The quality of applications received is very high and even though the difference is very marginal it can prove to be costly if you are bordering around this notional cut-off.

Hi BFU and others,

Quick question on choice of job function in the employment details tab in the application. I did BPO - financial transaction processing. In employment details Im having this option called 'I-processes, transactions and operations' - Is this relating to BPO? The only other closest choice I could find was 'accounting/tax/commercial/control'. But the latter to me seems like wht an audit firm person should choose.

Pls clarify.

Those have already filled the application with BPO work exp...can you pls let me know.

thnx

Should I apply for R2 in ISB? Pl share your opinion.

Hi, your profile is good. Its just that IIM received too many application, probably they didn't take you. In terms of ISB your work exp. is more than the average. So you can go ahead and apply for ISB.

Hi I have got a digital image and cropped the same for 375 * 450, but where can I find the dpi for the same. Simillarly I have the soft copy of my salary slip. Can I upload this directly or do I have to first take the printout and scan and then upload it.

Hi,

Good to see some comman faces/avtars at IIMA thread.

We don,t have much time to repent over IIMA.

Only four days left to submit app.

Just one query... Experience which was strong point for us at IIMA won,t it be negative at ISB considering avg profile of the candidates at ISB.
