My interview experience at SJMSOM IIT Bombay was amazing. Because of everything shifting to online mode our interview happened online. Unlike other colleges, SJMSOM organized interviews,s not on zoom or google meet it was on GATHER. GATHER was so interactive it gave me the feeling that I am inside the college. Everything was so fun. It was properly designed to give the virtual feel of waiting hall, auditorium, interview panel room, even you can move using arrow keys everywhere you want virtually. In the meantime the student coordinator made us watch some cartoon-like we were watching TOM and Jerry. It made my might so light and the pressure decreased. Thanks to SJMSOM for such an out of the box virtual idea.
