Here is my profile.
Overall Cat score - 99.01
QA - 96.5.
VA - 96.75
DI - 98.25
I have around 60 months experience in IT in an Indian major.
Acads -
10th - 85.8(CBSE)
12th - 89.2(CBSE)
B.E - 68.67 in E & TC from GCOE , Pune
Extra Curricular - Good
So what kind of questions should I expect in the interview. What all should I be thorough with?

Please guide me as I am worried about whether too much experience might prove to be a disadvantage.

Experience will never turn out to be a disadvantage. Dont worry about that.

Since you have a good amount of work-ex, your interview would be expected to be majorly on your experience but they can also ask about acads and extra-currics.
I hvae 18 months work-ex and wasnt asked a bit about my work-ex. My intvw was mostly on acads and some extra-currics, with a little general knowledge in the end.

They are not there to rate you on how much you remember of your 4 years in engg. or general knowledge. They look the way you respond and maintain your cool in the intvw.

In my intvw, they started asking me on a weird elective I took in my 3rd semester of engg. and started asking in depth. I didnt know a bit of it and told so.

Stay calm. You ll be asked mainly about your profile only. And its not only for IIM-Indore but all other instis. All the best, crack the interviews.

Interview questions might or might not be related with your form, there were cases when entire interview was based on what you had written in form, and in my case they didn't even mentioned it just make sure that you don't make blunder while filling the form.

Will the form be sent along with the call letter??? Do Indore also have a mentorship program??

Yeah the forms will come along with the Call letters and will have to be submitted alongwith other documents only on the day of the GD /PI

No we dont have a formal internship program in place but at PG many of us are always there.
Plus you can also ask any of ur friends to come to PG and post their queries we will try and answer

All the best to everyone with a call from Indore

Kool and Pranav are already doing a good job in answering the queries..but in case any of you have any specific queries you are welcome to post here and we'll answer as best as we can.

About the Work ex bit..traditionally Indore has a habit of going for a work ex heavy batch..Atleast I can confirm it for our batch (of 2007) as well as most of our senior batches but as kool has already pointed out batch of 2008 was heavily tilted towards freshers.

Traditional GD has always been a Case Study analysis....For interviews it's been a mix of acads and work ex in the case of people with work exp. Go through the previous years GD/PI threads to get a better feel of the entire process


Cheers,

Wayne
