Dear Vignesh,

Some banks ask for collateral and some dont.

If you have any branches near-by then you can check out banks like SBI, Union Bank etc and learn the formalities. But there is no need to hurry.
Stalls will be put-up in the college during the initial days.

@All
- Placements are far off. You will have ample time to prepare.

- College does send a email with the details of formalities to be completed. However, the website result is a confirmation in itself.

Njoy the holidays before the ride 'B'egins :)

Regards,
Kartheek

Do you need any collateral for loan? Do we need parents signature as co-signer?

There will be 3-4 bank stalls during registration and you can choose any of them based on their scheme. It is a hassle free process and you wouldnt see a loan of 15L being approved in less than an hour

for now chill maadi... it is all a smooth sail

Amazing profiles being offered!

I do not know If its valid to ask!! But was curious to knw
Can we have some insight about the amount of salaries offered in various fields? or data like the highest domestic/international offer or the average offer??

Salary details are not disclosed. Just enjoy the feeling for now - placements are too far away to be bothered about right now. If you want to base your decision about joining IIMB by comparing salaries, then sorry - seniors can't help you with that.

This may interest some of you....

Interview & Essay


Date:- 14 march,2012
Venue:- Indian Habitat Centre, New Delhi.
Time:- 9 AM

I reached the venue quite early. Indian Habitat centre really is a beautiful place to be in. There were around 24-27 people divided in 3 equal groups.

The entire process started on time. First of all there was a verification of our original documents and everything.


Stage I :- Writting Ability Test(WAT)

There was a panel of 3 in front of us. (2 males, 1 lady). We were made to sit around a conference table according to a sequence.
A sheet longer than A4 size was given to us. It had the topic , space for personal information and space for rough work on one side.
Topic:- Medical tourism should be banned in India, as almost half of the Indian population do not have access to primary health care
We were to write a NOTE on the topic. Following were the instructions:-
1.10 mins to think and 20 mins to write
2. No bullet points, only paragraphs
3.Only pen to be used, no pencil to be used
4.Note to be written on other side of the sheet within the writing space. (which was a bit less thanA4 size )
My was a decent attempt. I wrote that medical tourism should not be banned. Gave various examples how it brings in revenue and how it can act as ancillary to primary health care etc.
Overall very nice attempt.

STAGE II:- Personal Interview
It was the same panel who was there at the time of essay writing.
we were called in the same sequence. My turn was 5th. People before me were having very general interviews. Nothing specific.

there were 3 people
lady professor(L), Middle professor(M), Right professor (R)
I do not remember the exact sequence of questions. But more or less it was this.

I:- good morning
L: good morning, have a seat.
M:- So u r from commerce. From which college? Oh SRCC, nice.
I:- yes sir..!
L:- (going through her laptop) U have not uploaded your non ragging disclosure and SOP??

I was taken aback. Due to some technical glitch they didn have my SOP. I asked them I could produce the hard copy of same. They agreed. And luckily I carried it with me. I brought it and showed it to them.
L and M were reading my SOP while R started
R:- So you have been working for 7-8 months in this firm.. what is this firm all about?
I:- Sir it is my family business. AndI began to explain about it.
(All three became very interested hearing I was from family business. Thereafter it ws all about my business, and my MBA and Business)
R:- How will this MBA help you in your business.
I:- Told him about the opportunity of increasing the scale and diversification of business, strategic decision making required , How MBA will be a tool in that
M:- So you will go and continue the family business.
I:- Yes I will, and told about plans of Export house.
R:- (seeming interested by the ans I gave for MBA and Business)
Tell me how decision making will help you.
I:- begin to explain
M:- Tell me what consideration will you take in mind before starting a business
I:- explained short term and long term opportunity and consistency etc
I was explain about the domestic consumption of Bicycle chains and Ludhianas contribution to it
(My city and My business)
R:- He got into facts and figures to find an approximate production and export of chains in India
I told him that production in an avg Indian plant is 6000-7000 chains per day. He took it as per month and calculated . Which led to some flaw in the stats I had initially mentioned. I couldnt spot out the mistake at that moment
He said my boy check your facts. They are wron. Never mind.
L:- So you are from Ludhiana, which is a cluster of business activities. What are the 2 benefits and negatives of operating in a cluster.
I:- explained nicely with practical problems.
M:- So what have u contributed to your firm, you are from SRCC, so good in finance and accounts I believe.
I:- Explained how I contributed to set up a systematic stock management system.
R:- He suggested some different method, and said come on you are a fresh enthusiastic new blod, bring in more ideas to your firm.
M:- So what happens to ur family business if you go for an MBA and you become an entrepreneur, and set up your own business
I:- though hesitant to say, but said that yes may be we give up with that business as , I am the only son in family. Then added that may be I bring in my own dad into the business and use his expertise.
M:- So he started relating to sunil Bharti mittal.
I:- (a bit happy) yes sir , he was from Ludhiana, initially in cycle business, and then to fruit farms and then telecom
L:- last quest from my side. Have you heard about the family business programme of ours? Why dont you go for that. ?
I:- I said sth which L and M were not satisfied with. As soon as I was getting into further explanation, he cut me.
M,L,R:- Thats all from us!! Any other questions you would like to ask us?
I:- Told them how this was a dream come true situation. And appearing for the interview round of the most prestigious college of country was really amazing!!

Then I enquired about what should I do for my SOP which is not in records of IIM B
they said me give it to the guy who is verifying the documents outside. I searched for him but could not find him. By the time interview for next student had started.
I went in and told them about the problem. Then they said mail it to IIMB well mention it. Before leaving I told R, that sir you made a mistake in calculating the production. It was 7000 chains per day and not month!! He started laughing and said, its better you are aware of it rather than telling me!!
I smiled and left!!

For us there was an email that was sent 2 days after the day of results and we had to acknowledge that with a reply. After that if i remember right, we got the hard copy and we had to sign couple of forms and send DD for 75k. there was a last date given for this (which im not able to recollect now ).. after 2-3 days of that cut-off waitlist movements will start to happen.

Thanks for clearing some of the doubts ... cheers !!

Could not able to convert. Seniors can u please tell the w/l movement for SC category and how far it go last year. I am not in the first waiting list too :(
What are my chancess.....?? Can I still keep some hope??? ... plzz replyyy..................

sreeramdravid Says

Congrats to all the call getters. I have been w/l at 44 in the general category. Any chance of a convert. It's quite surprising that i didn't get a straight convert after 100%ile, 94+ scores in 10th and 12th, very good interview and essay( personally felt good). Can seniors please throw light on where i might have lost it

One can just keep on guessing as to why did he convert or why did he not.. Anyway, keep your fingers crossed. W/L 44 is touch and go types (last years data). All the best for A result (I am assuming you have an A call).

P.S. Not a senior, but have seen the IIM process for quite some years now.

sorry dude, no idea about either . Please see my previous post just above yours. it contains the "entire" information provided to me by the adcomm.. cheers!!

Can anyone reply to this postt???

Sounds like its me talking to myself.. must have "checked" my results something like a zillion times since last evening.. just in case I woke up and it went without a trace? but hell no! My name still bears the same, sweet message!

btw.. I got a reply from the adcom saying that they ARE NOT sending email confirmations of admission offers. Only hard copies would be sent.

Any tentative date on when the offer letters would be sent ?
Also ,is any notification or letter sent to w/l candidates ??

Hi guys.. looks like all of us are troubled by the same phenonmenon- the absence of a confirmatory e-mail and hence the debilitating wait to throw in our resignations! :)
However the news from the adcom is and I quote
"The list (is available) on IIMB website. Please check. Shortlisted candidates will receive hard copy of offer letters."

PS: This was in reply to a query on the subject by me..

Rohrodri Says

Nope no e-mail yet. I keep submitting the results page at IIM-B website every so often to confirm, which reminds me it's been 15 min since I last confirmed. Excusez moi for a second

Hi Seniors
I will not be in India next week and won't in a position to collect this offer letter. Can you please tell the formalities in the offer letter based on your last year's recollection so that i can do the spade work before leaving the country and submit it at the earliest when i return.
Thanks in advance.

but just out of curiosity, can you tell me the source or stats about it?

Got to know from my batch-mates in IIMB that the initial WL for OBC-NC category was exhausted last year and then around 10 people were called outside the initial list. Initial list was of 35-40 candidates(somewhere in this range). The same pattern may not be followed this year but it certainly leaves you with a chance to convert the WL. That's why I have mentioned that you need to be hopeful and keep your fingers crossed.

IIMB Converted...

It is perhaps the happiest moment of my life...
