10 : 30 hrs - Today is Boxing Day! A day of great sporting action across the common wealth nations. Also, happens to be one day before the CAT results! Today we are celebrating 26th Dec as the 'Why MBA?' day. The single most important factor that will determine how well you do in this 2-3 year journey from preparing for entrance exams to giving interviews to actually being in a business school.
First up, is a story by an XLRI alumna - Why MBA? - She says, "'While it is almost certain that engineers will not need to continue on shop-floors or work as programmers after getting an MBA, one would not like to leave one’s career path to fate. There are many instances of marketing aspirants ending up in commercial banking profiles – it is better to consciously work towards and prove one’s worth in a particular field."

This is one time when all call getters are preparing for GK . Insideiim can start putting something in like of articles of national and international importance . Also most of the PIs (esp for me) are in March so their is good 1.5 month gap in between. We can have a series of articles about job profile , opportunities , etc from top b schools . In short some thing to keep people motivated. Also some separate article for work exp people will be most welcome .

Team Insideiim, you are doing a great job. However, with most IIMs conducting WAT instead of GDs. Most of us here treat the GD Mondays as practice for WATs. Hence, is it possible to evaluate it accordingly? Both the times I've participated in GD Monday I've had the evaluators commenting on the need for brief points stating that in an actual gd I'll be interjected by someone else. Please have an option where we can state that the arguments have been made for WAT so that evaluation can be done accordingly.

You have a valid point. You can continue to participate as if it is a WAT practice. Your next evaluation will take that into consideration.

Hi, Can we please know in what cases is it possible for someone in the stage 1 shortlist of IIMK to not make it to the final GD/PI shortlist?

@Rs - Most will not make it as they will interview less than 4000 people from all categories. The top 3800-4000 odd among the ones in the Stage 1 based on the composite score will get calls. The calls will vary as per the category.

I have a question regarding new IIMs Suppose one is shortlisted for IIM L and IIM K apart from the New IIMs. Now according to the criteria, New IIMs will use the average Score of L and K for their offers, hence (L+ K) /2 Now, consider someone misses out on the IIM K interview due to some unforeseen circumstances. What score will the new IIMs take now? Will it be L's score only or will it be (L + 0) /2 ?

It's a tricky question which we don't have an answer to yet

Does one have the option to give New IIMs interview if he/she thinks he has screwed up the L,K etc interview and doesn't want their scores to be considered by the New IIMs?

Why has this page stopped giving update. It was nice reliable place to get all the updates. Now that results are about to come, I think they should start updating this page.
