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).

Even i have got three identical mails...but I never filled in a second option in my application.
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 
ďťżanybody 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.
I just now called IIM-B Finance and accounting as well as Economics have been completely declared and I am out of the scene by confirming on telephone.
