To appear for SJMSOM WAT/PI process, a separate application is required to be filled along with the CAT score. Candidates get shortlisted based on the CAT score and overall profile. I got the communication from the Institute in the mid of February 2018.
After sailing through the high tides of CAT17 exam, I had to climb the mountain of WAT/PI process to get into my dream IIM.
The journey from being an aspirant to getting into a b-school has many levels. The first level is to crack the examination, after which you ascend to the next level - GD-PI. It is in these rounds that candidates are further shortlisted before they finally get a ticket to their dream b-school. Interviewers are not only looking for your academics and scores but also your interpersonal skills, your long term goals and your motivation to pursue an MBA.
Clearing interviews are trickier than they appear on the surface. Following certain patterns helps you get an upper hand in the overall process and adds on making a lasting impression in the minds of the interviewer. Your B-school interview is no different!
Not everyone's decision to do an MBA comes after finishing their graduation program. A lot of students pursue their other interests, take up a job or start their own business. While they would definitely add to the diversity of the classroom, they're often questioned about their intent to pursue an MBA after working at a company or pursuing their startup idea.

It is that time of the year when students across the country are scribbling notes about the current news, going through their CV, preparing answers in front of the mirror and ironing out their best business suits. The GD-PI round of getting into your dream b-school is a carefully planned screening process that lets the institute know who'd be a good fit in their classroom.
