Arre! How are these bad acads? Ok i mean they arent topper material, but you should be able to justify them - as in, either explain that first year performance was low, but then it picked up in later years, or something like that, depending on your annual performance. L will ask you a year wise breakup of your graduation marks in the form to be brought to the GDPI. So think up a good story, without sounding too apologetic, because they arent that bad, really.
Most important, as had been mentioned, you cant change acads, you can best talk abt them a bit. What you can change is more relevant. Prepare well for GDPI. Especially your personals. Stuff like about you, hobbies, interests, strengths, and have multiple examples ready to support what you say. And then there is stuff like current affairs, and your own graduation areas. As an engineer, be prepared to alk about your final project.
Even after all this, your GDPI may be about something entirely different- say the Category III ILS training of pilots of Indian airline service providers, or the lack thereof.... All they want to see is that you have a some knowlegde, a lot of logic, and a pleasant demeanor. So be cool, confident, and smile. Pause before you answer. ask for time to think if you need it.
And do NOT bullsh*t. These are IIM profs.
