Well
Extempore means that u are given a topic nd u are asked to speak on it for 3 minutes or so .The catch is that u don't get time to think over the topic.

By extempore IMI tests ur creativity,knowledge,oratory skills,confidence,how fast can u think, and how well can u relate ur knowledge with the topic

Well the extempore topics are contemporary.

A few tips about extempore....

Finish ur part before the time limit that is given to you expires..
Be very confident and while speaking look at all the members and the judges off course..there should be a confident eye contact

ya ..
i was a bit aware and the topic was not exactly corporate governance it was a more detailed one....some thing that helped me to think.

Well the key is that just be aware of what is happening around you and also of the important terms like these and what they mean in the contemporary environment..!!

Well prepare well
and neways we are here to support u guys
so Cheers...and get ready to be a part of an experience of a lifetime..!!

Hey seniors, i have this query.
Suppose, that i am asked to speak on a topic that i am not at all aware of. And inspite of my preparing very hard for my extempore, i am unable to think of even a single sentece on that topic. In that case, can i hijack the topic?? For e.g. , suppose the topic is sino-indian relationship, and i have no idea abt it, can i say that i am unaware of the relationship on a diplomatic level, but ya i do have a friend in china...blah blah blah abt our friendship??

IMI's results are out and I'm in........:smile:
Just made it in the call list with a bare 95.8 percentile........This year the percentiles have certainly gone much higher than expected. I was expecting the cut-offs to b around 94-94.7 but IMI really surprised me. Another point is that IMI has only given out 687 calls for PGP and 687+186(approx) calls for PGPHR so their are lesser no. of people contesting per seat. Total no. of seats were 118 for the 2006 batch. I don't know about 2007 batch so SENIORS can u plz throw some light on this subject as to how many seats are there for PGP and for PGPHR.

Awaiting call letter so that I can know if my dates aren't clashing with my other calls.

If you are a fresher, then expect conceptual questions on your educational background.

The extempore topics range from current affairs to relevant issues. Mine was 'Should education be left to the private sector'.....From wht i can remember, some other topics were, ' India-China, similar yet different', 'Women make better managers', 'Diversity hampers your core competency', 'Ethical values does not hold any relevance, any more in the corporate world'...... stuff like this.

The essay will be along the same lines, current affairs or social issues...
Ours was 'Cinema & TV are responisble for all social evils'

Heh heh, i guess you're right, man. I too, have only started posting after a year, and tht was when I was asking the questions....

Anyways, most of the IMI 2006 batch go thru the threads on Pagalguy, and shivanku & ritesh a.ka. euphy have been doing a great job till now. Good going guys, but i too admit that more of us need to participate....( Adcom members, I hope u're reading).

As of now, if theres anything you need from us, don't hestitate to ask.....
