Preparing for CAT can be a monotonous task. You may get bored while solving problems on probability or while reading those "heavy" passages. So, what can we do to get a good, productive break? Well, the answer is simple: READ BOOKS.
One of the most banal questions that plagues every MBA aspirant during this time of the year… The average aspirant would have undergone at least an hour long session with his/her mentor, trying to forge a suitable response to this question and its nuances. What follows is a period of non-stop verbal rote, in front of the mirror, window or any other reflective surface, as well as every chance available, be it on the bus home, a free moment at work, and finally, a perfected version of the answer is ready to be presented to the interviewers at mock interviews and B-School interviews alike.
My mentee just got done with her interview at IIM Bangalore and she told me that Marketing was her cup of tea. Since I had to write something trending for this post, I thought to myself, well IIM interviews are happening and some gyaan on Marketing would be worth taking a shot at. But, as I started researching I realised, that InsideIIM.com already has enough number of Marketing stories swarming around. With interviews, right around the corner what the readers need is a little bit of confidence boost. So, now note that I will be talking about interviews in general with some examples from my life.
Let me start by congratulating all those who managed to clear such a high cut-off for HRM & LR. And for those who missed the magic number by a small margin, I would say “The show must go on”. Don’t get disheartened and give your best next time.

I am Kunal Shah. I have been born and brought up in Mumbai. I have done my Engineering with Specialisation in Computers from Fr. Conceicao Rodrigues College of Engineering, Bandra and I had a work experience of 2 years with JP Morgan Chase before joining JBIMS.
An investment worth about 2 million rupees in India and 3-4 times abroad, MBA is probably the most important choice that a person makes while in his 20s. Therefore, it becomes imperative to put in something more than research when choosing your preferred business school.
