On March 3, I attended a personal interview at SJMSOM, IIT Bombay. I would like to start by mentioning that this was among the most structured and chilled-out interview experiences I have had.
I had my interview on 04 March 2022 8 AM. I received the interview details a week prior to the interview and interview link a day prior. SJMSOM interview was one of the most well organized interview I had. The Admission Committee was well prepared for the process.
The Interview was conducted on 4th March 2022, morning session. Attending interview online was a new experience, but to add more spice, the conducting body introduced GATHER Platform for the participants.
I am a Mechanical Engineer with 20 months’ work experience. As a core engineer with a CAT percentile of 98.97 and academics of (90, 84,85) I was well aware that SJMSOM would be one of my best calls. I received the call for an interview on the 16th of February 2022. The mail also stated that the interview would be done over the Gather platform so I was quite curious about it.

IIT Bombay. A dream for many. A reality for some. After scoring 98.99 percentile in CAT 2021, I sat ready for my interview with SJMSOM on 6th March 2022. As the interview process was virtual for our batch, it took place on a platform called Gather. It was an amazing experience as before the interview, I was able to virtually move around the SJMSOM campus and interact with people just like I would have in person.
The Marketing campus of the country aka Faculty of Management Studies certainly shares the pride of being the most coveted college in the country. FMS Delhi soars high in the list of top management schools in the country because of its amazing ROI, the 1 - minute extempore, and of course the DU brand. The RED BUILDING OF DREAMS is without a doubt living a fulfilling experience! But what does it take to live this experience?! The answer to that question is a great CAT score and a rocking personal interview.
After being through a plethora of B-School interviews, the fretting before the interview gradually starts to fade away. It's like just another day, only with an interview in it. But that hot April day was different. It was my last interview of the season, but the feeling of nervousness felt as though it was my first one. And it was justified too. After all, it was supposed to decide whether I'll get to go to a place I wanted to the most. Being a mechanical engineer, the National Institute of Industrial Engineering (NITIE) was never unknown to me. Upon extensive research, I decided that the MBA equivalent, Post Graduate Diploma in Industrial Management (PGDIM) at NITIE, was the course for me. I had 20 months of work experience at an Indian IT giant during that time, with my academic profile being 93/86/68. Clearly, with not one of the best profiles, I started getting ready for the moments that could decide the fate of my career ahead. Putting on trousers instead of shorts for a change and a crisp pink shirt to go with them, I sat down at my table for the NITIE online personal interview. Here's what followed –
