Virtual Interview Experience At SJMSoM, IIT Bombay 2021 - Jay Navsare

Virtual Interview Experience At SJMSoM, IIT Bombay 2021 - Jay Navsare

17th of February, I received a mail from SJMSOM IIT Bombay (SOM) for being shortlisted for the Personal Interview round. That day brought a ray of hope that eventually became a full day of joy when I finally received the admission. I am a mechanical engineer graduate and had scored 98.69 percentile in cat 2020. I have a pretty average profile with 86-71-84 in academics from a non-branded college. I did have 20 months of work experience going for me, but my mentors had already crossed the IIT Bombay from the list of my dream colleges. So saying I was happy after receiving the call letter would be an understatement.

MBA Interview Experience With SJMSOM, IIT Bombay - Ala Mohammed

SJMSOM was my first interview call and needless to say it came with a lot of pressure. After having read multiple interview experiences and preparing from diverse topics to be very “interview-ready”, the day arrived. The entire process was set up on the Gather platform, something which none of the other colleges I got calls from did. It was incredibly efficient and gave us a feel as close to a real-life interview experience. During the whole process, the seniors who conducted the process were extremely helpful and clarified any queries we had (via Telegram and Whatsapp). The document verification and interviews happened simultaneously for separate sets of candidates, which pretty much reduced the wait time. Candidates were informed well beforehand about their status in the queue for the interview.

My interview experience at SJMSOM was perhaps my best experience in this season b-school PIs. Among Interview days filled with long waiting times in Zoom Waiting Rooms, and going through the daily news for the smallest new morsel of information that might get asked in an interview, I did not have any special expectations from SJMSOM, apart from being simultaneously excited and anxious for the Interview, like I had been for every other Interview before this one. The start of the process was a bit different though, when the email from SJMSOM arrived to my inbox, containing information about an unknown platform, Gather, that would be used for the entire process.
