Claude's answer

The MBA CV at IIM ABC comes in two forms: master CV (4-5 pages with all details) and actual CV (one page used for shortlists). Both get frozen before placement processes begin. At IIM Calcutta at Rs 27L fees for Rs 34.

23 LPA, CV freezing happens around 45 days before the first company opens on the placement portal (typically October for summer placements). Master CV lists every achievement, internship, project, and skill—this is the source of truth. Actual CV is curated for maximum impact on one page.

Once frozen, you can only use items from the master CV—you cannot add new achievements in the actual CV. The CV gets used in all shortlist rounds—you cannot customize for individual companies. Format: Education section (10th, 12th, UG, MBA if applicable), Work Experience (with metrics), Internships (MBA summer internship listed here for final placements), Extracurriculars (PoRs, case competition wins, NGO work), Skills (tech skills, languages, certifications).

Quantify all achievements with numbers—revenue impact, cost savings, team size, rankings. Avoid soft language like "proficient in communication"—replace with accomplishments. IIM Ahmedabad at Rs 27.

5L fees for Rs 35.22 LPA and IIM Bangalore at Rs 26.2L for Rs 34.

88 LPA have similar CV processes. Strong CV with quantified metrics enables more shortlists. Work with placement cell or seniors to polish CV format and content.
