Fpm 2013

I'm from Hyderabad. Where are you from Muneza??

@lkjena1980 have they got that AICTE approval. How long we need to wait for shortlist?
@Muneza I was told by the office that PI will be on 22nd and 23rd March.

@chetanadidugu any idea about XIMB fpm?
i haven't applied for ximb

Hi guys, does any one of you have any idea whether IIM-CAL would be better for FPM in Economics or XLRI.

I have an interview call from both IIM-CAL and XLRI for economics. Main problem is time and dates I have to travel a lot, moreover trains are running in waitlist, so I feel it would be better to attend one interview.
Any one of you have any idea as to which one would be a better option especially from placement point of view once a candidate completes FPM.
@palash4u IIM-B shortlist expected by mid march
@amitmohapatro PI scheduld for March 22and 23.
@nitya.saxena I guess NO RAT at IIM-CAL.Just two rounds for Interview. The one who qualifies in first round would be interviewed in second round.
@raj_mann Going from Kolkata to Jamshedpur is a matter of 3.5 hours which can be traveled by local or intercity express where no reservations are required.So u can appear both the interviews as journey won't be a big hassle.
As regards to IIM-C Economics it has a very strong faculty base and probably one of the best place to pursue a Ph.D in India . I had a very tough interview 2 years ago.I did not apply for IIM-C albeit it is my home town since interview dates are getting clashed with my Semester exams at Symbiosis.
So donot sacrifice IIM-C for any thing.Give ur 200% to convert it.
@mmgg XIMB is still under process to acquire the coveted AICTE Status...called them up day before yesterday...Admission office says they will intimate by 3rd week of March about further selection....
@lkjena1980 thanks dear!

Me too have got a call for FPM IIM C. Wud like to know wen the interviews are scheduled as in time and date? Its just given that 22 and 23 Mar wud be the dates. Does anyone know about the timings in those dates so that I can book train accordingly.

@preethi1990 congrats!
@Anisen Well, I have to travel from Punjab, Date for XLRI is 18 March and dates for IIM-Cal are March 22 and 23. XLRI authorities say that the dates cannot be postponed.
@preethi1990 The interviews on 22 would start by 9 Am and would continue till late evening. The results for round 1 would be declared on 22 evening only. The final results after interview on 23 would be declared by late evening on 23.
There would be an informal interaction session organized by us on 21 March night to allow the call getters to talk to the FP students of their particular area and get the doubts resolved. I would suggest you try to be at IIM Calcutta by 21 evening and depart on late 23 night or 24 morning .
@buffer - Thanks for the info... Will accomodation be provided or shud v look into that ?
PM & Sushma in poetry mood in the parliament. Lok sabha speaker remarks however are most hilarious. Check out this video.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CFgTaFs1HsY

I got a phone call from ISB FPM for a telephonic interview on Mar 10. They told me to confirm by mail and that they wud be sending out details through mail in some time. Did anyone get the same info ?

@preethi1990 Accommodation would be provided to all candidates called for interview
