IIM Ahmedabad Interview Experience 2022

IIM Ahmedabad interview experience
20th February- Morning slot
90/91(PCM)/82 (BA Psychology).
CAT- 99.52

AWT- 20 minutes I was third in the panel. There were three panelists (all male), let's say P1, P2 and P3.

P1- Tell me about yourself
I started with my well-prepared introduction. But after 1-2 sentences I was cut short by P2 when I mentioned about a research paper that I had published.
Then, P2 (who seemed reasonably interested) and I had a conversation about the research paper for the next 8-10 mins. After he was satisfied P1 took over.
P1- why did you drop out of engineering?
Gave my answer and there was some cross questioning.
P2- What do you want to do after MBA?
Mentioned that I want to start a business. Again there was some cross questioning.
P2- Would you like to start a business immediately after MBA or do you have some other plans?
P2- What is your favourite subject in psychology and what do you like about it?
P2- Let's shift to maths now. Asked about minima/maxima and how to find them. Gave a function f(x)= x^4 and was asked to find it's minima.
P1- okay, it was nice talking to you; you may leave now.

The interview was more conversational than grilling and the panel was quite friendly-.
No current affairs, gk questions were asked.
P3 didn't say a single word during the entire interview, it was mostly dominated by P2.
The interviews of other people in my panel lasted for around 40-45 mins. Mine was done within 15-20 mins.
