I had two questions. 1) the website mentions two dates. One is 30th Nov for online and another 16th Dec for submission of physical copies of acknowledgement sheet along with appropriate documents. Does that mean we can submit the online form before 30 th and yet submit the physical copies after 30 th ? 2) the whole finger imprint thing is confusing please tell us about that in detail
03:20 PM
Akanksha Sharma
Hi Rohit 1. Yes, you can apply online till 30th November only but can still submit the application acknowledgement till 16th dec. 2. From what I have gathered, many have the same issue. There should be space for thumb impression on the printed application which you shall be sending to the office but in case there is no space then kindly put the thumb impression on the white a4 size sheet and sign underneath

Also, guide us about the about the whole thumb-impression thing. Where to upload, how to send it with application hard-copy, whether put thumb impression in any empty space of printed form, or on another blank sheet?

The website mentions that the printed application acknowledgement form is to be sent with "appropriate" documents. Can anyone please tell what exact documents are they referring to? Should we send all the documents which we had uploaded while filling the application? Urgent help requested, as deadline is closing in (taking postal delays into account).
03:08 PM
Akanksha Sharma
No no you do not have to send all the documents. Could you please let me know the category you belong to and then i would be able to tell you the exact documents you have to send

Do we need to upload our graduation marksheet of the second year if we r in the final year of b.com or do we have to upload of both the first and the second year?
03:08 PM
Akanksha Sharma
Please upload the graduation marksheet of the last semester/year you cleared. In your case just 2nd year marksheet

what are the work experience document needed during interview and during mba placement (summer and final ). work exp & salary certificate are enough ?
03:27 PM
Akanksha Sharma
During the interview you are not asked to furnish any documents. At least not that I know of. Same goes for Summers and Final placements, you just have to show up for the placement process on time with the 1 page CV. That's all.

Just one more question. The 3 photographs include the one which we would be pasting on the form? I mean 1 pasted + 2 photos or 1 pasted + 3 photos?
03:32 PM
Akanksha Sharma
the same as the ones you are pasting on the form. So that makes 1 pasted + 3 photos

@Akansha: How to fill the profile assessment type questions? Should the language be straightforward or flowery? Any hints on some of the generic questions like "why this course"?
03:33 PM
Akanksha Sharma
Well, I shall suggest it to be straightforward, crisp and not beat around the bush with too many fancy words. And "why this course" - Try to relate it to why you actually want to do this, what motivated you to do it, maybe some story or someone you know whose footsteps you want to follow. You can get help online on many sites.

okay. i mean no need to show any work exp proof to the company even after receiving job offer ? my company paid salary in cash . they provided me work exp certificate and salary certificate mentioning salary received and duration worked. are they enough ?
03:34 PM
Akanksha Sharma
One change to my answer, during FMS interview they do ask you to furnish the work-ex proof in form of letter or salary statements, etc. Sorry for confusion earlier. I am not sure what the process is after you receive the final offer from a firm but during placement process you do not have to. Only pre-placement process you might have to furnish the proofs

Well, in case you are able to convince the panel of what productive stuff you did in the gap, then it should be acceptable.

There is no space for thumb impression in the for. What should I do? Which thumb impression to be pet on the paper - left hand thumb or hind hand thumb? I need to know all the documents to be sent for General category.

There should be space for thumb impression on the printed application which you shall be sending to the office but in case there is no space then kindly put the thumb impression on the white a4 size sheet and sign underneath.

Just asking, why do you guys even require the physical copy of the form? Does mailing hard-copy make it any more authentic? :P
03:40 PM
Akanksha Sharma
It is the process. The application would be there in front of the panel during your FMS interview and questions are asked from your SOP, extra-curriculars, etc

Akanksha Sharma
For general category just the signed application acknowledgement is required along with 3 coloured passport size photographs After the CAT results are out, you get the e-mail and SMS if you are shortlisted for the interview with the interview date mentioned and venue being FMS campus. The final score comprises of your CAT score, PI score and Exptempore score (which is asked during interview itself)

I read above but still want to confirm it, I have NGO and Start-Up experience, but don't have any certificate. I was a member of cultural committee, but again no certificate. So, only what I say is important. I will not be asked for certificates during interview process?
04:00 PM
Akanksha Sharma
for your work-ex you have to prove furnish the proof. For Start-up you have the bank statements or company registration details and NGO also have some proof. I shall advise you to keep those handy. For member of cultural committee generally no proof is asked but for work-ex yes

FMS has asked for 10th std marksheet as DOB proof. However my 10th marksheet does not include my DOB. What should I do? I have attached adhar card as id proof for now.
04:07 PM

The 10th standard marksheet or certificate should have the DOB. This is the standard DOB requirement across the country.

For the thumb impression thing, I am bit uncomfortable in putting the thumb impression on a BLANK page and signing below, for obvious reasons. Can I just put the impression on the printed application form instead?

Yes, many had the same issues. Maybe some issue with the form hence the admin office had asked to attach the A4 size sheet with your impression for your convenience but didn't mention having the impression on the form itself
