Hi everyone,
Congratz to everyone with an IIM Calcutta call. 
You have made it to the portals of one of the top B-schools in the land and ahead of you lies the short but intensively competitive journey to become part of a band of the best in India - IIMCians!!!
This time we are offering a range of innovative features on our site, to help you on ur voyage to the portals of IIM C. Since almost all our activities here are co-ordinated online via our Extranet, we want to give you a taste of what it means. Shortly, a Special Section of our site meant exclusively for the people with calls will come online. It will include sections with all the info you will need as well as a host of features to enable you to interact with each other and to get your queries answered. This section will be up in a couple of days at most.
In this section , you will find information about our ever-expanding Student Exchange Programme, Summer Placements and a host of other things. We will also be putting up reports of the latest and greatest happenings on the Joka campus. In short, it will be a blast.
In the meantime, CAT Chat will also be happening regularly on our site. http://www.iimcal.ac.in/admissions/catchat.asp We will be stepping up its frequency as soon as our exams get over, by Thursday 😃
You can post queries at Ask Us http://www.iimcal.ac.in/admissions/askUs.asp
Right now, you can also mail me at [email protected] for any urgent doubts. Just keep in mind, that I am a tormented soul trying to write exams..... 
Well, thatz about it from IIM C for now. Keep in touch with us. Will let you know as soon as we launch our new features. Keep tuned!!! 😛

Two questions from my side:
What is the typical size of a GD batch?
How many people in the interview panel and are all faculty or alumni/current students also?
1. Typical group size is abt 10
2. The GD/PI panel has 3 members...2 faculty and 1 alumnus.

Hey guys,
I have a weird situation at hand. My IIMA interview is on the 9th of April at Bangalore at 9am and my IIMC interview is on the same day,same centre at 9.30 am.... what in the world am i sposed to do now?? whom shud i ask for a new date? Any suggestions welcome, Thanx,
Regards,
Garuda
Hi,
IIM C is likely to have arnd 245 -250 seats this year, of which abt 55-60 will be DCM.
Abt the clash of timings, you can write to either IIM, they will certainly allow a change of timing, probably to the afternoon. But do it as early as possible.
For the ATM test, basic engineering maths - algebra, some integration/differentiation fundas , statistics and geometry are quizzed. But, it is quite simple, even commerce guys get thru it.... 😃 So, don't worry much.
And nope, very low chance of physics questions.
Ajay
yup the math for dcm test is real fun!!
no prep required at all....n definitely no physics
its a lot like jee objective math...ull need to do trigo,calculus,probability
tke care ...n start ur gd pi prep if u havent yet....nows when the competition really begins..
~Lyndon
Hi ajay/lyndon..
do IIMC asks engg maths for peepz with workex ?/ i mean junta with 2+years out of college ??!!! Do they REALLY expect me to know fourier/laplace etc or is it jus stressing ??!!!..
On second thoughts, the answer maynot matter much to me...one way or the other i aint gonna study em now !! ..but still it helps to know !! 😛
hope 2 see ya around after the egzams.....rest assured we'll bombard u with more !!!
thnx and regards
suhas
one question, i heard C interview is a pretty tough stress one ? correct ?
Mihir
Hi
I am Vijay . I have also got a call from IIM C . have GD PI on 7 April.
I have work ex of 4 months, but for IIMs i m a fresher as i didnt have work ex when i filled the form.
Being a CSE background what Qs i can expect.
And how much does GD matter coz i m not too good in GD, but reasonably good in PI.
How much stress is on acads.
Bye
Hi,
IIM C interviews are usually very casual and cool. So don't worry about it.
Work exp guys, you will be asked more about ur work and ur learnings from it and so on. Not much about ur previous acad.s
Maths questions are not very likely either, although some prof.s might ask a few. CSE guys can expect some basic questions as can Electronics people...since our Sys faculty is the best around. But don't worry, no troublesome questions.
Just get the stuff about you...personal questions, worked out. That will help a lot in all the interviews. Thatz abt it for now.
Regards,
Ajay
