Interview Made Easy - Answering The Whats, Whys And Hows For IIM Interviews

• ·        communication skills
•       endurance to stressful conditions
•        structured thinking approach

·         And in most of the cases they are willing to take honest and hardworking people who can take criticism in the right spirit and use that to fine tune themselves. An interview is nothing but an endeavour to know the person you are and assessing whether you are culturally fit for the IIM you are being interviewed for. With all the gyaan shared above, I’d like to conclude with a few pointers for preparing for an IIM interview:

• ·        Work on your interpersonal skills, especially on how  to meet new people on a formal setup
•       Develop a positive attitude and be humble, honest and respectful
•       Develop analytical mindset by thinking critically  of a situation from different angles
•       Update yourself with general knowledge and current affairs
•       Know about the institute you are being interviewed for as that shows your sincerity
•       Know about your hobbies if you are claiming them to  be so, for  example, if your hobby is  photography, you should at  least  know what aperture is, and so on 

All the best!
