Guidelines To Fill The IIM K Stage 1 Form

A GOLDEN RULE: WHEN IN DOUBT, CONTACT ADMISSIONS OFFICE

1. Verify each and every detail mentioned in the first page. NOTE: The 10th and 12th marks will be sourced from your CAT Registration form. Whereas all other information will be taken from this form. Ensure that the information is correct.
Personal Data Form 2. The candidate is required to enter his interview center and address details. Please keep in mind that interview centers are rarely changed. And this choice will remain final. Furthermore, any document will be sent to the address in this form, please ensure that this address is valid till the entire selection procedure is over.

Final selection letters are dispatched to this address.
Ensure that the mobile number is functional and does not have any connectivity issues. Any form of textual and verbal communication will be sent to this number

3. In Bachelor Degree subject, please enter your branch if you are an engineer. Other examples are: Management Studies, Business Administration etc. 4.  The candidate is required to fill year-wise GPA for his UG subject.

And so on.
In case the candidate has different credits for semesters, he can use the formula:

Y1=(S1+S2)/2
Y2=(S3+S4)/2

And so on. The candidate is advised to clear confusion regarding filling this part of the form with Admission Office IIMK. If there exists even the slightest of confusion, the candidate should call the Admission Office IIMK as this form cannot be undone. In case, a candidate is still completing his bachelors, he can leave the remaining years blank. A similar process to be followed if a candidate has a second bachelors. 5.  These sections are self-explanatory. The same algorithm is to be used to calculate scores.
