1 M and 1 F.
F was very energetic and i guess she was in a rush.
Extempore: "xyz hill" (xyz was the name of the hill that i don't recall)
Just after she gave me the topic, she said if i am not comfortable with this topic i can ask for a different one (as if she knew that's what i was gonna say). I asked for a new topic.
2nd Topic : "abc hill" ( she was definately messing with me). I asked for a third topic.
3rd topic : covid and mental health
Gave a decent extempore.
M: So what kind of business leaders do you follow?
-Told.
M: Do you have any interest of starting your own business?
- In the SOP, I had written about my interest in entrepreneurship. So I was ready for this question and gave my well prepared answer.
M: Almost all the famous entrepreneurs do not have an MBA degree. Why an MBA then?
-Told.

Verdict - Rejected.
With my percentile it was very hard to convert FMS ( I don't know if it was even possible since i was 688th out of 707 in the shortlist)
Anyway I needed a perfect interview and as you can see my interview started with a bang!
