My Interview Experience At SJMSoM

SJMSoM - IIT Bombay is one of the best institutes of management in India and I cannot boast enough about being a part of its flagship MBA course for the session 2022-24. Even getting an interview call from SOM was a big deal for me as I am a person with a GEM profile (General, Engineer, Male) with a short stint of 3 months with a Big 4 firm. I even had interview calls from all IIMs except BLACKI and other colleges like NITIE, FMS and IIFT and appeared for the interviews in all of them. One of the things that amused me with regard to the interview process was the Gather platform which was used to conduct interviews very interactively. This allowed us to interact directly with our mentors on the platform and other candidates as well which was a stress reliever during the stressful waiting time before the interviews. The experience all in all seemed as if we had visited the campus for the interviews but in a virtual setting (kind of Metaverse experience). Another thing that impressed me during the interview process was that the seniors who managed the process were very helpful and supportive at the same time and guided us on document verification, how to deal with the interview that was to come and what should be expected from interviews of SOM in general. As many of you might know that the interviews in SOM are generally taken by 3 panellists with one panellist belonging to the candidate’s graduation domain and thus technical questions from graduation specialization were expected. But to my surprise, almost no technical questions specific to my domain were asked to me. This was because I was lucky enough to get a panellist with a similar interest which was the Indian Air Force and we led a casual discussion around the topic with a few questions like the lens used in my spectacles, the name of a few fighter planes and the countries providing them etc.
