Although the question should be answered by the institute's helpdesk, here are some tips that might be helpful for you. My friend has just completed his MBA from IIM Bangalore and here are some of the experienced recalled along with university FAQ answers:

• Reference letters tend to be quite confidential so you can’t submit them casually.
• All such reference letters must be submitted in paper (hardcopy), sealed in an envelope, and signed (on the closed envelope) by the person who is actually giving the reference.
• Please do not attempt to send them through any online modes like mail, Whatsapp, etc.
• On the day of the interview take the three envelopes along with you.
• The reference letters will most likely be collected as soon as you arrive at the interview venue. Then, the interviewers will like to have a look at them before the interview.

These are some simple steps to be followed while handling and submitting the reference letters at IIM Bangalore. If any confusion persists, you must not hesitate to contact the institute’s administration.

Being in the waiting is enough to add on a lot of stress in the student's mind who has applied for the institute. The reason I am responding to your query is that it needs to be addressed among the masses.

• A friend of mine was on this waitlist. Throughout the entire time, he was always under constant pressure.
• Generally, this waitlist frenzy is exclusive to the students that belong to the General category and their result falls somewhere around 60-70.
• There are also a good number of students who have switched to Calcutta as they believed that Finance was ultimately their calling.
• This is precisely why people who are in the waitlist choose to settle in Bangalore.
• The 2018-2020 batch was quite an exception in this matter.
• Because of a rumored article, the waitlist for the batch 2018-2020 of IIM Bangalore went up to 16 for the General category students. Thus revealing certain dark sides of IIM Calcutta.

The waitlist for this year can be expected to reach 60 but no one can put an authenticity stamp on it as this has various layers to it. My personal advice to people who are on the waitlist is to prepare a backup option as well so that they do not have to be disappointed.

With the advancement in the education system and innovative thinking of the students, IIM Bangalore provides the chance to many entrepreneurs. They give them strong support to move ahead in the career that they have chosen.

• IIM Bangalore owns the startup incubator, N S Raghavan Centre for Entrepreneurial Learning.
• It is one of the best startup incubators in the country preparing many budding entrepreneurs for the competitive world every year.
• It gets strong support from government agencies, corporates, and institutional partners.
• This brought together many entrepreneurs, academicians, and experts from industries to provide innumerable opportunities to the students for pursuing their professional careers.

Last but not least we can say that with the support of students and many companies together, IIM Bangalore helps them to pursue their passion with sheer dedication.

Fundamentally, IIM Bangalore does not usually provide a specialized MBA to its students. That clearly translates to the IIM courses strictly providing generalist MBA. In a nutshell, one package has to function for a lot of other things, such as the job market scenario, fellow students, and other factors.
