The past week has been very busy. Right at the beginning of the week, IIM Calcutta released its latest selection criteria, and so did IIM Nagpur. The week ended with the conclusion of the main event of the year - CAT 2020. In this episode of News From The World of MBA, we explore these important headlines and more!
A dual doctoral degree holder in Economics and Psychology, Dr. Raja R Choudhary, Director of Academic Affairs at Universal Business School recently had a conversation with InsideIIM to make us understand the importance of Data Analytics, how data is changing the world and careers and where to get the best education around it. Here are the excerpts from the interview:
Today we talk about the farmer protests. We also look at inflation and how India can become a better nation to trade with.
First, let's make one thing clear - the CAT 2020 exam was a tough paper that stumped even the most prepared aspirants. While everyone expected the number of questions to reduce, what no one expected was the level of difficulty across at least two of the three sections in any of the slots. However, what one must remember is that the paper was difficult for everyone, and given that your percentile and not your score is what the top IIMs look at, chances are that your attempt might've been better than what you think. But was it good enough to the touch the 99th percentile? Here are predictions by leading coaching centers of what sectional and overall scores may amount to a 99 percentile.
CAT 2020 is finally done and dusted. The word is out. DI-LR was the killer section in CAT 2020. Slot 2 was tougher than slot 1 and slot 3 was tougher than slot 2. Then there's the technical challenges test takers faced. Lagging systems, bad internet connection, etc.
Manpreet Kaur, TISS ODCL 2nd year interned at L&T Realty. Whether you're prepping for final placements or summers, learning from other students' interview experiences is always a plus. While PIs are largely unpredictable, there's some information to be gleaned from previous interview experiences. Check out this story to learn more.
One of the biggest events in any b-school student's life is the summer internship interview process. Your summer interview is something that you spend days preparing for. And yet, it's impossible to predict how an actual interview will go. Because no matter how much you prepare, interviewers can spring a surprise on you. Despite this, there's some merit in learning from past experiences. Which is why, we spoke to students from different b-school who interviewed at different companies to gather a list of interview questions and tips. Whether you're sitting for summer placements or final placements, these questions and tips will prove to be a guide. In this article, Prajwal Kumar, TISS ODCL, Summer Intern at Kotak Life Insurance and 2nd student, shares his interview story.
