*Big cheers to SJMSOM, IIT Bombay’s IT team who created the virtual platform so that we can have a comparatively lively experience amidst the pandemic*
The panel had three members (All male). There were two professors and one alumnus of SJMSOM. One of the professors was from the finance department at SJMSOM and the other one was a professor from the engineering department from IIT Bombay.
My interview started with a smile and the panel welcomed me and asked questions regarding various things. The professor questioning me about my academics was a very calm professor. There were times when I was nervous while answering the questions but he encouraged me to be calm and take a few minutes before answering the questions. The professor from SJMSOM asked me questions regarding why MBA and in which domain of MBA I am interested. The alumni asked me about my interests and other calls I had.
Overall, the interview experience was quite smooth and the admission committee of SJMSOM ensured that the entire process was stress-free. My call did get disconnected once during my interview but the Adcom handled the situation.
Overall, it was a chill interview and my panel was nice. The interview lasted for somewhere around 15 minutes
