I came across this interesting term ‘GEM’ during my CAT preparation last year. It seems to be the most disadvantaged group during the MBA admissions. Going by available facts, it definitely seems true - general engineers (especially males) face the toughest competition when it comes to MBA admissions. But if you really ask me, interviews are agnostic of your prior degree - that if you know yourself, you will do well in your interviews If you have secured an interview with the top management schools of the country, I recommend you start preparing right away - after all you are one of the few coveted ones to have even received a call! And plus, acing an interview is very different from acing the CAT. I would broadly divide the interview preparation into 3 categories -
I don’t precisely remember the date, but I think it was on the 23rd of Jan, 2017, when the results for NMAT were declared. I submitted my SOP, which I made sure was the best that I could write at that point in time. (Also had a few friends proofread the SOP to make sure that no errors were left unnoticed).
In a few months, the first year of an eventful MBA will come to a close at IIM Lucknow. The all-conquering seniors will move on to the dreary money churning life outside and a new batch of hopeful dreamers will enter through these hallowed gates of hell. It feels strange that a year has passed by and I still feel like the unassuming dreamer. For the past year, life has quizzically revolved around assignment submissions, exams, committee work, placements and many more things unexplainable here. So much so, that the struggle to arrive in this very institution feels like a long forgotten memoir.
Interview with Padmavathi Shenoy- FPM
Recently, I have realized that I am running out of motivation.
VIT Business School has been recently accredited with the International Accreditation ACBSP. With this, the b-school has added one more feather in its cap. With two prestigious accreditation, ACBSP and AACSB, VIT Business School, the popular destination for students in South India aspiring for management studies, will be seen as truly global in various aspects – the quality of education, esteemed faculty and global exposure.
The moment of exhilaration has arrived for many after having seen the hard work for multiple MBA entrance exams pay-off, though the celebration of good marks needs to be postponed for a while as it is this moment of perseverance which could just be the icing on the cake for many who wish to pursue their next two years in management education from premier b-schools. The anxiety level must be high, so must be the expectations from parents to get over with the process with flying colours. Amidst such a scenario, it is a watershed moment for every candidate to realise that CD-PI process is a very important milestone in the process for converting into a prestigious b-school. Having sounded cautious till now, CD-PI is also one of the most scoring opportunities to capitalise on. Let me share the experience for my CD-PI process at NMIMS.
