How far can a B-school go to make the candidates relive the interview experience in the most interactive, creative way sitting behind a screen? SJMSOM, IIT Bombay has set a benchmark in this regard.
After having attended multiple B-school interviews especially during the time of pandemic and with people still figuring out the online mode of conducting interviews, I have to say that my interview experience at SJMSOM, IIT Bombay was the best amongst all. Right from conducting the document verification process to guiding students towards their personal interview, everything was so well managed by the team at SJMSOM. One thing that needs to be highlighted is the Gather platform that was used for managing the interview process which then became the talk of all interview groups for all the good reasons. The platform gave us the entire feel of hustle free offline interview process while sitting at the comfort level of our homes. The mentors proved out to be very helpful by sharing their own interview experiences as well as asking the other candidates to share theirs after they complete so that the person next in line gets some idea. Not to forget, the Tom and Jerry playback was indeed a stress buster.
During the good old days, an aspirant would have gotten the opportunity to visit multiple cities in order to attend the interviews for his/her dream B-School. But due to the pandemic that has struck the whole world as a lightning, all these processes were moved online. I had given multiple interviews during the period of Feb to April but the interview experience of SJMSOM was truly unique.
