IIM Bangalore to Adopt Essay writing in Place of GD for Admissions 2010

This year IIM Bangalore will conduct essay writing test instead of a routine GD round for the 2010-2012 batch. There will be a 30-minute essay test on the day of the Personal Interview. It is official now that the eligible candidates will have to write a 30 minutes essay on any given topic. The topics can be from current political scene, economic and business affairs, sports etc.,

According to the guidelines provided by IIM Bangalore, institute will adopt a two phase selection process this year. The first phase process is applied to all eligible candidates who appear for CAT 2009 to determine those qualifying students who will be called for personal interview. During the PI process the candidates selected for interviewing during a particular day will have to write a short note (one page) on a topic provided by IIMB. Subsequently two interviews will evaluate each candidate on his/her performance on the note and his/her performance during personal interview.

It further says, for candidates having work experience, each interviewing faculty will evaluate the quality and relevance of the candidates work experience. These scores along with the pre-PI selection parameters will be used cumulatively in the final phase to determine the final list of selected candidates.

This process will be adopted for selecting candidates for admission to the Post Graduate program in Management (PGP) for batch 2010. Note that IIM Ahmedabad had also eliminated GD from its admission process in 2007.
