@GauravPuri A formal light colored plain shirt (full arm) and dark trousers will do. If you are comfortable with a tie sport it !. But it is not mandatory. Blazers may be a overkill as I hardly see anyone with blazers these days !
@gajamani Sir generally in which areas area specific tests are taken ? Just FYI I have applied for Finance.
@doc-n No !!!.. That is not my point. In the PhD in IITs, you are working with the professor on one of his research projects. He may also be working on it, or may have an active research interest in that topic. So he/she typically helps both from a domain perspective and technique perspective. They also set deadlines and funding (if involved) is tied to these deadlines. However in the case of FPM, the thesis topic is your choice and you form a DAC based on interest level of Professors and their willingness to guide you on that topic. So most of the times, the professors on your DAC may have either domain knowledge, or technique knowledge, or sometimes none !. So the onus and accountability is firmly on you !!.. You can fix an appointment and go and seek help from the Professor. That Professor may not be in your DAC and may still be willing to help you for that specific query. But Profs mostly give only pointers of papers for further reading etc or share some dataset / code or their research papers. There are some professors (by exception) who take a lot of interest in their student's work and volunteer to help as well. But generally, the Professor is busy with his/her own work, and YOU will have to follow-up to get time from them. And even if you get time, they will only give you pointers and limited guidance, because the project is yours and not really theirs !!. So the onus and accountability is completely on you, to form your own deadlines, tap all the resources (both internal and external) to seek help, and complete the work to the satisfaction of the DAC. Hope this clarifies.
@Adymos No. It is normally not required. You can turn up on the day before RAT and submit the copy of your letter and pay the advance and take the room key from the hostel office. Lot of rooms are empty because PGP1s have gone for interns and PGP2s convocation also should get over by April 1st. I am sure, the letter you received must have stated this process clearly !. If there is any other instruction in the letter then let me know, and I can check with the hostel office and confirm back.
@cacs Please don't call me Sir ! 😃 Finance didn't have an area specific test last year. So I would guess there is no test this year too. Last year CSP, PP and OBHR had this test.
@gajamani Pheww. Now I don't need to revise derivatives, forex and capital market. 😁 Addressing you as sir. :- Ok, I won't do that sir. 
@cacs Bu since you have a finance background, they will ask such questions in the interview, so please be prepared for that ! 😃 (No escape from concepts, only you can escape from formulas ! 😃
@Anisen Yes, if you take RAT in IIMB the score is sent to IIM indore. The interviews are different. But in the past 2 years, some guys have complained on pagalguy forum about confusion in getting their RAT scores on time to Indore. If the RAT dates are clashing then you can't help it, you will have to take IIMB RAT and hope the score reaches safely to Indore. Otherwise you will have to follow-up at IIM-Indore Admission office to check if the scores reached them.
@gajamani I have only IIM Indore call so that's y I was asking that whether the RAT of botth the IIMs are conducted jointly?
I don't know why so many posts are missing..
Plethora of info which could be used by a lot of applicants.
Or am I on the wrong page..? Unlikely !

There is a glitch indeed. A lot of 'collected wisdom' of several weeks seems to have vanished !
I am completely embarrassed this thread was a wonderful guide for FPM aspirants how such an unfortunate things can happen.
Moderators please have a look in this issue.
