udayankejriwal Says

@seniors: Does B have a preparatory course and when is it expected to start?? Who are the people who are called for this course??

Yes. B does call some people for around 20-25 day preparatory (if we may call it that) course. For our batch, it started around 2nd or 3rd week of may.

Edit: Just to add to that, you will receive the letter from institute if you have to undergo through that course. Don't worry too much about it.

when the pdf file of final result will be uploaded

Can ny1 tell me How waitlist movements can be checked and how much time it'll take to move .I have a waitlist no. 1 in DA (unlucky me) so i hope it will get converted.
Adding to previous question
1. how much time a waitlisted guy is given after his call's converted to deposit initial amount????
2.where i can get the last year's waitlist conversions of IIM B?

@seniors: Does B have a preparatory course and when is it expected to start?? Who are the people who are called for this course??

Finally after 5 years of preparation, 4 CAT attempts, cleared IIM B interview. Phooh! Heartbroken over lone IIM-B call reject in the previous attempt. My profile did the job for me this year. A chartered cum cost accountant. Not a single technical or general awareness question. I know then, I am converting this IIM B call after a terrible Indore interview. Now in a utter shock what to do next. Mentally blocked. Seniors, what else can we do?

Great to know someone from a similar background although am not qualified yet... Have completed my PCC in Chartered Accountancy... Hope to be a CA by the time this B leaves the B-Hive (although never in spirit) :cheerio::cheerio:

Well, frustrated with the website hacking stuff and all, I was totally pissed off, and went on to join my other architect friends on a study trip to the Industrial plant of Telcon, Kharagpur.

And there in the industry mess it happened.

My girlfriend called up and said the sweetest line, "Congratulations! You have been Offered admission to the PGP 2011-13 at IIM Bangalore."

I threw off my industry safety helmet in the air and was lost in the sea of high fives and victory hugs by my friends.


Returned just now after heavy boozing and random treats. :drinking::drinking:

IIM Bangalore and my sweetheart, you both made my day!!!

can we get a facebook or google group.. wanna hear about those laptop bulk deals..

Congratulations final-call-getters!

Do join the FB group at Facebook IIMB Batch of 2011-2013 to introduce yourselves and air out any thoughts you might have. This will be pretty much for you guys to interact amongst yourself till you get here. I suggest you have fun with it.

The official google group for interacting with the senior batch and official query threads will be started shortly.

Once again, congratulations, and to those who attempted valiantly and with honor, I wish you all the very best in your future endeavors, whatever they may be.

Warm Regards,
Vishal Kumar

2 good news in 2 days first my XL and now IIM-B
Oh I'm so enjoying it
Before the season started and even after my CAT exam I was advised some other colleges and was written off from the IIMs by my friends
but fate had something else stored for me
man is it for real? my first attempt at CAT and XAT and I have IIM-B and XL
If there is God its so within inside us because except me no 1 believed that I will achieve this feat
IIM-B thanks for considering me but I'm going to do a favour to some w/led people, because I'm so in love with XL-PMIR

Nice.. PMIR over IIMB.. you must be madly in love to do that

Firstly, what a feeling it is to get the IIM-call and then convert it...really, no words can truly express the moment...

Now, i have a few worries....seniors ... can u pls advise...

1. I am from ICSE board, and have submitted the class X and XII marks as best of 5 and best of 4 (English compulsory) respectively. This is how the merit list of the board is drawn up, and I have my class X felicitation certificate to prove the point...but still, will this be a problem? My friend studying in one of the IIMs (converted last year) had done the same, and he had no issues with this...but dunno if the check varies from one IIM to another.

2. Is it mandatory to join the prep course? If it's end of May - it will be mighty difficult for me to get out of my job by then...As of now, my release date from the company is 25th June (manageable till 18th June)...

3. I am taking a sabbatical...not resigning...will this in anyway hamper my placement options? There is no bond or any such thing that I have to come back to my current company...I can resign even after completing my degree if I get a better offer elsewhere...but if I wish to come back, I can...

Thanks in advance...

P.S - Congrats to all who took one step closer to realising their dream today...
P.P.S - To all those who narrowly missed out in the final round, as they say, life has something better in store for you - I was sad last year for not converting SIBM - P, and this year I got this!!! God is great...just keep the faith...

Many many congratulations to all who made it to IIMB and all the best to the wait listed candidates,
Its really a great honor and pleasure to say that I am through, I have waited 4 years for the same...
some help needed here..
I know its late puys but I am not in touch with my mentor, also I dont have his details, how can I contact my mentor, ny idea puys...

Hi,

@Seniors, Any idea on tentative dates of college reopening?? And also do we get a formal offer letter in mail or hard copy of the same?

Through...relief!
But the problem starts now - whether to join or not

Your waitlist number is WL-3 in your category GEN. Will I convert???.. All fingers crossed? Is there a separate thread for waitlisters? If so, please provide link.

It all depends upon the number of calls B has given. Anyway, WL 3 - in all likelihood, it will convert. So congrats
