All You Need To Know To Crack A B-school Interview | Ft. Aditi S R, DMS IIT Delhi

While you must have come across countless articles with a similar heading, I want to tell you all something that nobody spoke to me about. The first word that comes to my mind when people ask me tips for an interview is introspection. Every question that you will answer right from ‘Tell me about yourself’ to ‘Why MBA?’ has to be grounded in your unique reality. While we think that the honest answer to these questions is ‘to make money,’ there has to be a reason for why you chose to do what you did at every crossroad in your life. Even if the reason doesn’t make you look like a genius, say it. Questions like Why engineering? Why this college? All are asked to understand if you find any pattern or reasons in your life, or you think it’s all a game of dice.
