After matching solution with key, I was confirmed of a good show. But was concerned with the low score in quant and whether it would suffice to clear cut off. On the result day managed a decent percentile and enough in quant to get an HRM call, my first choice.
But the battle has just begun as GD-PI hurdle was left to be conquered and performance in mock GD’s was not up-to the mark. So, scheduled GD-PI in end of available slots so that I could gain enough experience from other processes. In the meantime, XAT came out with a structure to be followed in GD along with duration. It turned out to be the best thing as there was no fish market due to availability of time and everyone was able to make their points.
The interview did not start on expected lines as the panellists started grilling on too much work experience and preference for candidates with work experience around 2 years. I tried my best to defend along with expressing my interest in the course. Now sitting in XLRI and writing this article implies I had defended myself in a good stead.
Put in your best efforts for next one month and leave rest to God. Avoid last minute decisions and plan ahead for XAT.
