Aman Vaishnav's Interview Experience At SIBM Bengaluru

After giving many interviews this year and after being thoroughly prepared for the GD-PI-WAT process at SIBM Bengaluru, I thought nothing could go wrong now on. It all started at 8 AM in the morning, the GD topic and WAT process was simple and had truly made some wonderful points in the process. Now the time was for the PI. The panellist was the same from the GD. They welcomed me and started with a question. "So you have left your job, right? I knew I have to give the reason behind it but as I started, they interrupted me and asked about the thermodynamics's concepts which I answered correctly.

The Perfect Interview Does Not Exist

More than 1.5 lakh people write CAT every year out of which some 10k-20k people don’t appear for the exam. Of these 1 lakh people lucky few get the calls from IIMs for interviews. A big-time challenge for this lucky herd is to convert the calls. Failing to secure a percentile decent enough to get a call could be disheartening. But not converting your calls is heartbreaking at many levels. A normal candidate began dreaming about studying at his dream b-school since he starts preparing for CAT and these dreams intensify after the call from the ‘dream’ b-school. I couldn’t sleep the night I get the call from my ‘dream’ b-school. Your dreams go to another level. And imagine, if you are not able to convert any of them! All those dreams, hopes, plans, flushed down the chute. So it becomes extremely important for you to crack these interviews. Only they stand between you and your dreams.

How To Prepare For MBA Interviews - Tips From An SPJIMR Student

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 -

How To Prepare For CD-PI And Make It To NMIMS Mumbai

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).

Always remember, MBA is a means to the end.

CD-PI Experience At NMIMS - Conundrum Addressed - Shridhar Chilka

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.

What Happens At A CD/PI At NMIMS Mumbai? - Yashwi's Experience

Congratulations! As I say that, I recall my call letter and with that the confusion to drive my interview process through the maze of relative scoring and entangling questions. Having said that, I understand that all of you, my dear friends, are right there trying to figure out the perfect mix between “tell me something about yourself and the aligning strengths & weaknesses”. But before I begin to share with you my journey through the maze, I’ll put forth some background information, for you to gauge that what acted in my favour and what did not.
