T.I.M.E. provided KPMG with a list of its students who had received final selection offers from the IIMs. This list was arrived at after a thorough check by T.I.M.E.’s own internal team.

The team from KPMG then followed the following steps to validate the results.

• The enrolment record at T.I.M.E. of these selected students was thoroughly checked (by verifying the enrolment forms of these students). KPMG thus validated that all these were bonafide T.I.M.E.  students.

• The data given to them was entered on the results pages of the websites of the respective IIMs to check the authenticity. This ensured the genuineness of all final selections claimed for each student.

• A scientific random sample was generated from the overall list of results provided to them by T.I.M.E., and students in this random sample were called by KPMG at to verify their enrolment at T.I.M.E. and the selections that they had got.
