Sonali Kapoor
Hi team, could you please tell me what are the chances of a fresher at IIM S since I am a fresher.
Sonali Kapoor
Can you please give some inputs for GD/PI/WAT preparation and some sample topics?
Dear Sonali, for WAT, ensure that your writing conveys your clarity of thought, along with impeccable grammar. You can practice writing about diverse topics as that would give you the discipline to write in a given timeframe. Do go through current affairs as well.
Sonali Kapoor
Thank you. Regarding the personal interview, what are the panelists exactly looking for in a candidate? And what should one do to work towards it?
Dear Sonali, it all depends on how you answer their questions and how you direct your interview further. We advise that you be yourself, be confident and positive.

Is there too much academic pressure ? what about extracurriculars?
Dear Sonali, there is no such thing as too much academic pressure. It is all about how you prioritize the things that you wish to do and time management.
Archita Ahuja
Hello, my query is I have done my undergraduation in commerce and want to pursue MBA in finance. How should I tackle the question on why not CA and CFA?Really need help with that. Thank you!
Dear Archita, programs such as CA and CFA are for hardcore finance enthusiasts. If you want to learn about finance in detail, while also learning about all other aspects of business management such as innovation, supply chain logistics, customer relationship management etc. MBA is the way to go. Hope that helps!
Archita Ahuja
Thank you so much! Also, my interview is on 3rd and I have nmims in Mumbai on 4th which is creating problem! I have dropped a mail but will it be considered given such short notice?
Dear Archita, we hope that you have clearly mentioned the reason for rescheduling your interview. We would suggest you to wait for the response over mail. You can also call (0364) 2308024 ( Weekdays 10:00 am to 5:30 pm), +91 70850580177 or +91 7085058177.
Archita Ahuja
Yes I have mentioned the reason. Will call tomorrow once to confirm.
Also, how should one justify the gap year after graduation? graduated in 2015.Will mentioning that I was solely preparing for cat justify it? Since I haven't interned or worked with an ngo during this period.
Dear Archita, there are a number of candidates who focus completely on their CAT preparation. Hence, that should not be a problem. However, now after your interview, you can perhaps do the same.
Archita Ahuja
The original marksheet is issued later on by the college, will the online marksheet attested by college be sufficient for the interview?
Dear Archita, yes that would be sufficient for your interview.
