I had completed four years into my corporate journey, and one thing that I was certain of was that it was the last chance to realise my dream of studying in a coveted league of institutes called the IIMs. If not in CAT 2017, I may not have even tried for an MBA after that.
It was 27th March 2018, and I went to Mumbai from Chennai for my NITIE interview. My interview was to be held in the afternoon at the campus itself. I reached the campus by 1 pm. The campus was one of the most beautiful ones I’ve ever seen. It was filled with greenery and couple that with a beautiful pond and a hilly terrain, you’ve got yourself the most peaceful and serene campus. The academic building, in which the interview was going to take place, sat atop a hill inside the campus. One of the ways to reach it is the famed ’96 steps’, surely a daily morning workout to reach the class.
The next step after you crack TISSNET is the GD-PI round. The interview round is an important screening process for admission into TISS Mumbai, HRM & LR. Not only is the business school looking at what you will add to the classroom but they're also judging you on your potential to be a future manager. This is the right opportunity to display your skills, qualities and future goals.
After the CAP and other institutes’ interview processes, I was waiting for the results, hoping to get into one of the newer IIMs. It was the third week of April, I was working as usual on a busy Monday and received an email stating that I had been shortlisted for stage 3 of the admission process for PGP in Management from IIM Nagpur. I was asked to choose the location and slot for PI-WAT rounds. I chose Bangalore as I was working there. My interview was scheduled during the 2nd week of May at 9AM with guidelines mentioned.
The interview season is upon us. You might have gone through numerous blogs and videos on how to nail the interview process. And here's my contribution to it.
The Webinar will cover all queries and concerns pertaining to the PIT-PI rounds for HRM&LR at TISS, Mumbai; preparation strategies, Life at TISS and beyond.
Transcript of the actual interview.
Life is a wave that has troughs and crests, so does love. I was one of those lucky Indian youngsters who witnessed a true love story at the age of 19. I met her on a train ride, and that journey gave birth to a different story that eventually took me to the world of writing & publishing. I came up with my first book in 2014. Although today if I look back I feel bad for one thing, that unexpectedly she left for the heavenly abode, but that memoir gave me a different dimension in life. Oops, love, Valentine's week, what am I writing here on InsideIIM. I was supposed to write about my B-School interviews and calls, but I got dragged to my past.
