FAQs Assignment - Template

Dear Student,
Listed below are the Frequently Asked Questions of the B-school Interviews to help you prepare for the personal interviews.
Some of the IIMs, NMIMS, Symbiosis, IMT, and other B-schools release their shortlist on very short notice and may ask you to
fill out their Profile Form/Personal Data Form or write a Statement of Purpose (SOP) or may schedule an interview within 3-4
days of their shortlist is released, so we advise you to please be ready with the responses to these FAQs and SOP. The most
common and important B-school profile form questions have been added to this FAQ list. Some B-schools may also ask to
book slots for PIWAT immediately after they release their shortlist, so you need to be alert and take action accordingly.
Imp. Note: Please submit this assignment completely and don’t just do it for the sake of formality. You must give
responses to all the 18 questions in detail. Keep the font ARIAL and font size 11. It can take at least 4 pages if you write
this assignment fully.
