What kind of questions are there in the PGP Application form that will be available on Jan 15th?


Speed Post doesn't come often at my correspondence address. Since, IIM Calcutta is sending mails, will it be an issue if I miss receiving the call letter? Also what should I do if this is a big issue?

Also best coaching institute to join for WAT-PI classes in Delhi?

Do we have a Whats App group for IIM C 2019 call getters? If yes, please share the link.

A bit off-topic but I wanted to know about my odds of getting shortlists from Investment firms during the summers considering my poor acads (provided I convert IIMC of course :P)

Hi folks. 

Congrats once again to everyone who got calls from this hallowed institute.


Exactly a year back we got our CAT results, and by this time I am waiting for a call from my dream institute. 


I hope you all gearing up with the preparation with WAT/PI. We know how you feel at this point in time. We have been there and done that.


It is an honour for us to guide you through the process and help the best to get into their dream colleges. 


So, to help you through the process I will be posting a few tips for WAT/PI based on my experience from interviews before and after getting into IIM Calcutta. 


Here’s the tip 1:

Most of you might have started preparing the answer the most generic question – “TELL ME ABOUT YOURSELF”. 


If you haven’t started yet, please start asap.


· Avoid answering this question with the information you already give in your resume or personal data form. The panel will have your data with them during the interview. 


· After a brief introduction about yourself (in about 25 – 30 seconds, if your overall answer is 90s long), you try to substantiate the points you write in extracurriculars or co-curriculars. For eg., if you write something like organising the college fest. You give a brief description of the fest and how you handled various things in about 20s.


· Try highlighting the points which are unique to you.
