My Interview Experience With SJMSOM, IIT Bombay.

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.

Online Interview Experience SJMSOM, IIT-B | Parth Mudey

The interview experience at IIT-B SJMSOM was one of its kind. What made it so, was not just the questions that were asked but also the entire experience of it from the waiting period, doc verification till the interview was completed.

My Fun Interview Experience At SJMSOM IIT Bombay

We all get a little nervous during interviews. But my experience at SJMSOM IIT Bombay was so unique and interesting that I did not quite get the time to be anxious!

SJMSOM Interview Experience

It was the 3rd of March 2021. My interview was scheduled for 3:00 o clock. IIT Bombay has always been the hub of innovation and SJMSOM being part of IIT Bombay is no different. The interview experience was innovative. In the pandemic times, they wanted to give the same experience to the students as an offline interview. So for this, they used software that functions like a 90s RPG game. We all were given pixelated avatars to choose from and I chose a king avatar. The virtual platform was in the same fashion as an offline interview centre. Even the SJMSOM ADCOM members had their own avatars and if you moved in closer you can initiate a chat with them. You can also chat with other interviewees or just snoop into a talk between two members. There were separate virtual rooms for document verification and interviews. For me first were the interview and then the document verification.

My Interview Experience At SJMSOM-IIT B

My SJMSOM-interview was scheduled on 4th March 2021. I had scored a not-so-useful percentile of 97.84 in CAT 2020 and the interview call from SJMSOM was frankly a surprise to me. I was not riding on high hopes of converting SJMSOM as its MBA-program gives considerable weight to an applicant’s work experience and CAT score in the final selection process. The average work experience of a SOMite is 27 months and I had no fulltime work experience. For an applicant who receives an interview call, the conversion was 40% dependent on his/her interview performance, another 40% on CAT score (grr…) and the rest on profile.

Interview Experience Of SJMSoM, IIT Bombay - Aryan Gupta

The interview was scheduled for 7th March 2021, it was held via the “Gather” platform. The whole virtual experience was quite exciting and unique. All the interviewees in the same slot gathered together in the main auditorium and then we were briefed about the panel, the interview process by a member of the academic support committee. The interaction was informative and helped ease out some of the tension and confusion. After a short, while my interview was going to start so I left the auditorium and entered the concerned interview room where a link for the zoom call was provided. I greeted the panel and the interview began. The interviewers structured the questions so as to test my knowledge about my B. Tech Project and related concepts in computer science i.e, Machine Learning. The questions were quite intriguing and thoroughly tested my domain knowledge. I face a few connectivity problems while the interview was going on but it didn’t cause too much trouble. The panel was encouraging and supportive. After the interview, I went for the document verification and with this, the interview process ended. Overall it was a great experience.
