IIMB would be releasing the decisions from mid to late march. I had spoken to them over the phone a few weeks back.

I'm very surprised at the rejections. On the face of it you have a good GMAT score and work experience abroad. Have the B-schools suggested (or do you suspect) why they decided so?

IIM B has said they will not be running an interview process and will be directly admitting students into their program. This means they will be taking in between 5 - 10 students (since not everyone getting an offer will join) out of 60-80 (subject to change) who apply each year.

All the best. I too am waiting for some good news from IIM B, with only an interview from IIM C to fall back on.

Profile
Education: B.S. in ECE from UT Austin.
Work-ex: 1 yr. in US.
GMAT: 710/800

I applied to all 6 IIMs.
I got a reject from IIMA.
I received interview calls from IIMC (Mumbai, March 17) and from IIMI (Indore, March 20).

I am yet to hear back from IIMB, IIML and, IIMK. IIMK and IIML, both require an interview before March 31, according to their website. Calling IIMK led to an overtly friendly reply of "Don't dare call me before March 15!! "... while IIML people seem to be too busy to pick up. So, please update here if any of you hear back anything from IIMK,L,B. Goodluck!!

Hey all,

I do hope IIM B gets back to us by mid-March. It will be frustrating having to wait till late March.

I finished my IIM A interview on the 8th of March at the IIFT campus in Delhi. There were three panels, with 10 students in each. There was one overseas applicant for each panel, and we were all the last to be interviewed. It was quite a long wait.

The interview itself was very relaxed. It was a pleasant and relaxed conversation. One of the interviewers asked me a lot about my firm and its structure, while the second was flipping through my certificates and the third was listening. I was asked briefly why I wanted to come back to India. They asked me my favorite subjects (luckily programming and basic engineering courses were not listed) otherwise I probably would have been grilled on them. I was asked a fairly simple calculus question, about maxima/minima. We then discussed domestic politics briefly and the US primaries and that was all.

It probably lasted 15 mins. Most interviews that day were between 15 and 20 minutes. The interviewers did not seem keen on asking a lot of questions or grilling me as such. No point reading much into it as I guess we'll find out on the 11th of April how well it really went.

I have IIM C this Thursday, on the 13th here in Mumbai.

Hi Raman,

I'm not sure if I mentioned this in one of my earlier posts, but I called up IIM C and they confirmed that overseas applicants would not be receiving any forms or documentations. I guess we just have to show up with certificates on the day of the interview.

Best of Luck.
