GD:
Topic: case discussion - in short this is what the case had, a young accountant's directed by one of the directors of the company to cut a check for 25lacs for a charitable trust, without any approvals. This high amount is not justified considering the company's financial performance. how does he handleit??
Number of Ppl present 8
Time: 10 to read, 15 to discuss and 15 to write summary
Brief Snapshot of Discussion: the decibel levels kept goin high on and off.. overall a gud discussion.


PI:
2 very courteous profs. a lady and a guy.. make you feel comfortable right from the the start..

my interview was too customised to my profile so the questions wouldnt be of any consequence to anybody..

so i'll not waste effort typing the intricate details but here's a brief overview.. the discussion was on my extra currics (been actively involved right from my college days) then moved on to how I've continued now that i'm working.. then moved on to work life balance.. then specifics of my team size and the nature of my work.. more about extra currics and then it ended.

(if anybody needs any more details let me know)
MISC.

we were only 8 called for interviews today.. all 8 engineers our names were already pasted outside the room for the interviews.. we all were there by 8.45 the profs walked in by 8.50.. 9:00 they called us in briefed about the GD process, followed by GD, and summary writing.. all of us were done in around 10 mins!

we were told that we'd be called for the int in the same order as mentioned in the notice outside, also we were told the interviews wud last 15-20 mins so the junta who had interviews later cud take a stroll around campus and return after a while.. I was the second so didnt have the luxury of takin a stroll..

Overall gut feel - chillmax panel.. be sincere in what you say and you'll feel like just another coffee conversation with a friendly duo..
