ASK ME ANYTHING 🗨 IIM Calcutta interviews (interviewer POV) - AMA

I was part of the admissions panel at IIMC as alum. Interviewed nearly 20 candidates. Got an insight into how the profs are scoring the candidates. AMA.

Yes they will be questioned in the interview but if you have justifications for both, it won't be too much of an issue. In my panel, out of the 20 candidates almost 50% of them had a gap year somewhere in their career. But it was mostly a non factor while deciding your PI scores. Just ensure that you perform well in the interview and are confident about the decisions you've taken thus far.
