Dear Mr.Kartik Yadav ,
Sub: FPM Admission €“ Interview (2013)
With reference to your application for admission to the Fellow Programme in Management of the Indian Institute of Management Bangalore, we are glad to inform you that you have been short-listed for the Research Aptitude Test (RAT) followed by Interview (if selected).
Pref-1 Economics and Social Sciences
Pref-2
.....


Got it about an hour back

Even i have got three identical mails...but I never filled in a second option in my application.

@cacs and @kartik_ : which domains you applied for?
@monikamundra Finance & Control of course And I don't remember the second one.:p Must be Economics.

Well I have been selected for RAT in Finance and Accounts Area at IIM-B. Here is my full profile:

X- 82.4
XII- 71
Btech (Amity University)- 67.3
MBA- Finance (West Bengal University of Technology)- 71

Work ex- 1 yr as derivatives analyst, 8 months as Eco and Finance Lecturer

NO UGC NET/NO GMAT/ NO GRE/NO GATE

Frankly I have no idea what impressed the admission committee as nothing in my profile jumps out and impresses. May be they liked my SOP. So moral of the story is "Just Apply and hope for the best"

Questions to Seniors:

1. Is accomodation at IIM-B free or is it paid?
2. Is there any area specific test at IIM-B for finance area? If yes, what kind of questions are asked? Is it an objective test or a subjective test?

Adios

Got a call from IIMB for my second preference - IS

RAT is a qualifying exam. For RAT IIMs call all the people who fulfill eligibility criteria. Almost 100 per stream take RAT and then only about 15-20 are selected per stream and out of these only 3-4 get final selection at max. So, if u are eligible, u r shortlisted. nyways ATB. Unlike me u have an opportunity to visit IIM-B in any case. Congrats!!! after all IIM call is IIM call yaar!!

anybody got calls from PnOM or QM area?

Are all the calls out for IIMB? or they have just called those ppl who applied thru RAT for now?


@sayanddude no..i had not applied through RAT anyways...neither do i have JRF...so I guess they are calling subject-by-subject.
@kartik_ Thanks!
