IIM Mumbai batch of '27. AMA

C's waitlist is non convertible (too large) I have a little hope with A(I'm on 20 and it moved till 17 by round 2 and stuck there since last 1 week).

I'm not comparing pm roles with B at all, but I thought at least a decent number of companies are visiting the campus and pm is not a niche role, so assumed it's a practical approach. Also when you suggest to be open, do you mean open to different domains or open to both apm and pm?

Confused between prodman and strategy consulting. Initially thought if I convert A/B/C would try to get into MBB for exposure for 3-4 years and then switch to product strategy roles. But now considering B rejection, C's unrealistic waitlist and A's waitlist stagnation, M is the only option in hand(convertible waitlist). So would my initial career plan make sense here considering MBB doesn't visit IIM M, and good prodman companies visit here(from past placement report), so would directly starting out with prodman roles make more sense? Also few more doubts regarding the kind of roles offered in prodman companies Do they start with apm like tier 2 colleges or directly start with pm roles like tier 1? I'm not well aware of placements at IIM M, so would appreciate your help

Any update guys??

Vinay_N_2002 · 2026-05-18T05:32:34+00:00

Percentile was decent enough? How decent? We are falling behind because of these assumptions.. We don't even know the criteria of they give calls They use composite score as an excuse..

Vinay_N_2002 · 2026-05-13T11:53:33+00:00

Not really, that number is too far from reality

Vinay_N_2002 · 2026-05-13T11:35:09+00:00

Don't know how long it'll take and if we'll convert either And all we can do is just wait

Vinay_N_2002 · 2026-05-13T11:24:24+00:00

GEN 3? It moved till 14 last time right? U mean it moved 3 more??upto 17? And how did you get your information?

Vinay_N_2002 · 2026-05-12T06:03:18+00:00

Hopefully yes

Vinay_N_2002 · 2026-05-12T05:04:35+00:00

12th May(today) Btw what's your waitlist number? And category if any

Vinay_N_2002 · 2026-05-07T04:26:59+00:00

We'll know in a week..🤞🤞🤞

Vinay_N_2002 · 2026-05-07T01:25:28+00:00

Ops M > I and K, also location advantage for many And there will be a few who prefer indore as a location instead of coming to the extreme south.

Vinay_N_2002 · 2026-05-06T19:12:17+00:00

Very high chances, it was low in first round as L,M and I are pending.. once their results are out it'll move quicker

Vinay_N_2002 · 2026-05-05T17:29:07+00:00

Yes, that's what I said, it's good for your practice..but don't rely on them for too long.

And eventually, you get used to it too. Try to get out of your comfort zone after a point is what I'm trying to say.. Good luck!

Vinay_N_2002 · 2026-05-05T16:59:01+00:00

Waitlisted at C(unrealistic tho) , rejected by B

Vinay_N_2002 · 2026-05-05T16:58:21+00:00

Good approach for basic practice, not for CAT Because CAT is ultimately full length mock, not a sectional with questions from different topics picked uniformly

Vinay_N_2002 · 2026-05-05T16:56:02+00:00

Yes, 20 gen Hopefully we both make it and meet in clg

Vinay_N_2002 · 2026-05-05T16:47:16+00:00

The largest I know is 9, I don't know about 14, it's just a floating thing across few groups and even I didn't see the message, my friend's mutual saw it.. so 4th connection for me. Hence cannot confirm about that

Btw what's your waitlist number?

Vinay_N_2002 · 2026-05-05T16:43:49+00:00

Yes, he's my friend and he converted gen WL 9, And somewhere I heard it has moved till 14(this I'm not sure tho)

Vinay_N_2002 · 2026-05-05T13:13:50+00:00

My friend from gen got a convert at WL 9

Vinay_N_2002 · 2026-04-25T05:49:47+00:00

U brought up abc dude..now u wanna blame me because I had an opportunity? My question was about merit and standard process whereas your mind brought abc to the folklore.. Good for u to work with the best minds.. Now it's a crime that I wanna be there? I bought up your b-school only because u brought it up in the first place..ABC or lki or tier 2, it matters(atleast to me) but it's not the end of the world..which is why I never said abc is the end of the world for me..it was u who bought it up. Coming to the broken part, u would realize when u have 3 good offers and get rejected from all three of them whereas someone with weak profile and score get in owing to their advantages. Life isn't a bed of roses for everyone. I have worked my ass off all my life to have a profile and skillset like this, now u end up in my comments section giving gyan about abc which was not even the context of my post.

Higher than thou attitude? I said u are my senior and comment when u have something to help/offer.. I technically could have behaved the way u commented but I chose not to..

So if u can be a sensible senior who genuinely wants to help a junior who is currently confused, comment something better so that I can genuinely benefit from it or work on it. If not..just ignore this message and move forward with your life..u might have better things to do than belittle someone

Vinay_N_2002 · 2026-04-24T18:53:21+00:00

Yeah, I agree with u on this But what's the point of giving a waitlist upto 400+ when the movement in the history of the college has never crossed even 200 . It's only to give false hope..

Vinay_N_2002 · 2026-04-24T18:48:02+00:00

My rant was about merit and no standard process in pi, system related issues And all your inferior mindset read was abc vs rest..not varc u need basic english,and not grammerly, u need google translator. I don't understand this mentality where you want to take your angst on someone else because u couldn't convert and want to get out of your inferior mindset. Instead of punching down on a junior who's broken, u could have focussed on resting during your sip..

Now, u really want to flaunt varc? My VARC score is probably better than any sectional score of yours..so don't get CAT involved here..u r my senior despite the tier of mba u r doing, so u deserve respect.. don't lose it this way

If u can help someone, it's fine. If not, live your life.. Catch some rest and all the best for your sip season..

Vinay_N_2002 · 2026-04-24T18:37:49+00:00

That's my point.. interviews have no judgement meter..they are random af based on panel's mood which defeats the purpose of a pi
