Also, due to torrential downpour in Mumbai, around 100 students missed the annual IPMAT entrance exams to get admission to IIM-Indore.


"This year, the IPMAT was scheduled on July 16 at the Ion Digital Zone in Powai. But due to heavy rains, flooding and road blocks near the exam centre, many of us were forced to take a very long detour and could not reach on time," said Kunal N. Gupta, one of the dejected aspirants.


Besides, many others like Abhinav Kale, Falak Shah, Jash Sheth and scores of other were also delayed by a few minutes but were not permitted to write the crucial exams, he said.


They have also contacted the admission office at IIM-Indore through email, phone-calls, but to no avail, besides making appeals on social media.
