Hi everyone

NITIE's GD/PI process begins on the 13th.
Please use this thread to jot down your GD/PI experiences at NITIE. This will definitely be of help,either to the current lot ,or to future aspirants.
And besides,we puys love writing,dont we :satisfie:

puys..
please post your GD/PI experiences at the earliest...also if there are some other relevant things about the process... do they inform you in the morning regarding the approx time of your GD/PI during the day?

[acecapricorn]

junta,
i came back from mumbai last nite and am back to work today :neutral:
i cant post my experience in detail as am stuck with work now.. will do it later.. but i will put forth some highlights of the process.

1.) Accomodation: Dont worry, there are quite a no. of rooms available, just head to
PGP1-2 block and ask for acco by showing ur call letter.

2.) The process starts at 8.00 , you will be required to assemble @ the auditorium.
(which is a relief from the heat outside ) where a presentation will be made abt NITIE and the programs @ NITIE.

3.) check the group no. of your GD and your interview panel no. it will be listed on your
call letter.. and those of you who havent got a letter dont worry, there is a list that
has been put up.

eg: mine was 21/A/5
GD grp 21 and interview panel 5.

4.) Pray that your GD-interview finishes quickly.. thats all you can do.. cos if ur luck is
bad, u might be waiting till 5 in the evening for the interview :neutral: .(dont worry about getting bored during the waiting part, there is a huge database of movies/clippings waiting for u at the auditorium )

5.) please keep all the xerox copies of the certificates mentioned. (Extra currilcular
certificates and character certificate exempted). even though there is a photocopy machine, it saves you time and anxiety if u have them ready.

6.) Important point, some of you might have been shortlisted for 2 programmes at NITIE
PGDIM/ISEM/ITM. in that case you will be having 2 seperate interviews .
check the subject in your call letter, it will be mentioned as to which program you
have been shortlisted for.

7.) GD is of 20 mins duration. dont have to take a pen/pad.. everything will be provided.
general topics most of them. some of the topics i could recollect from yesterday:

*Private universities- Good or Bad
*Indo US nuclear deal- where are we heading
*Will the retail boom affect the kirana shop owners (something like that)
*Should higher education be subsidized
*Should management education be subsidized.
*Right attitude and not skill is the key to success.


8.) Most of the interviews were chilled.. the panel made us feel very relaxed . The avg
time for each interview was around 15 mins.

9.) Food in the canteen is pretty good.. u dont have to go out anywhere and dont miss out on a walk around the lake in the campus... its serene and beautiful


All the best to all Puys.. keep ur cool, and you will do well.

Hi ,

Am just back from NITIE after giving my GD PI.
The process started at 8 AM when all students were seated in a auditorium.

We were assigned batches, of 10 and called accordingly.
few ppl will take time, ( might be 7 Pm before ur done with ur PI :-| ) but u can enjoy the movies in an AC Audi, talk to seniors , chill around the beautiful campus

My GD topic was
"Individual Brilliance certainly makes a difference"

The topic was ok. I found very few points to talk about.
Most of the points revolved around specific examples. After 10 mins. the discussion started becoming boring ( for me , dunno abt the panel ).

2 mins to think
15 mins to discuss
2 mins to summarise.

GD was very cordial. No fish market.

Then we had to wait in a room for our PI's.
We were assigned panel's for PI's too. ( 1- 4 )

My PI had 5 prof's . P1 , P2, P3 , P4, P5
moi - M
P1 and P4 dint ask anything.

Start:

P2 - wot is an option
M - said .....
P2 - went into detials abt price, premium , margin call, exchange ....
M - answered little .. said i wanna think a bit on1 question .. took 10 secs, and P2 changed the topic... ( he understood time deke koi fayeda nahi )
P2 - so in ur s\w application .. tell me wot happens when i trade in an equity
M - said ...
P2 - nodded most times ..

P3 - so revant .. hobbies .. wot do u do in ur leisure time ..

P3 - ok ok .. go .. thank u

It was a good PI.
They were all jovial and in the mood.
BUt the next girl who went in after me, got slaughtered ...
no reason, they just felt like taking a stress interview.

cannot say whether it was good or bad,
coz there were questions i cdnt answer ...
But as the int was light most of the time .. u have a feel good factor
So no indications abt results, but atleast was most of the time ..

The last 2 mins i was wondering , y r they asking questions like , "wot sal are u expecting" ....

ATB for the rest of u

Had my GD\PI yesterday...

Had a descent GD and horrible PI..

GD topic: Positive attitude and not knowledge is required for business success.
Time given 18 minutes. We ran out of fuel in say 10 minutes but still had to go on. Ppl kept coming with examples. A very boring GD.

Next comes the slaughter of year for me. I went on to ask a NITIE guy when is my interview scheduled? Do i have enough time to go and take my breakfast. He immediately sent me in.

Some 5-6 ppl in the panel. They started "Some name how are you"? i said sorry sir my name is vishal. Everyone seemed amazed "wat??" I wonder if it was my name or they heard something else. One of them says almost angrily who sent you in??? I am like wat is happening here. Suddenly one of the panelist comes up with realization (and to my delight) "hey his name is in the last page"...

(Dont remember who asked wat. I'll just use P for Panel)..

P: Tell us about urself?
Me: blah... ended with my "movie making" interests..
P1: so u make movies?
Me: Yes
P1: Do you know ****** (star are there because i dont remember thew word and not wat u thouht )
Me: ??????
P1: (With surprize) U dont know ******
Me: (Yaar yeh PSPO thode na hai)... sorry sir
P1: ok u know (3 more random names)
Me: (Now my GK about movies is certainly not bad but i had no idea who this guy was talking bout) I said sir i follow main stream cinema. Perhaps these are from some regional cinema coz i never heard of them. (This was enough to raise P1's temper and blow off my chances in NITIE)
P1: (almost angriliy now) have you heard of movie called "lost bicycle"
Me: No sir (chod do yaar...)
P1 by now is completely pissed off. If he had his way he wanted to sent me back immediately.

now P2: so u have studied economics?
me: yes sir
P2: wat is economics?
me; (the scarce resources wala gyan)
P2: wat is principle of economics?
me: reitrated the gyan
P2: no tell me wat is the principle.
me: gave some gyan on demand supply.
P2: cutting me u dont know wat is principle of eco?
me: sir i dont remember if there is something called principle. I remember the concepts. Probably i have forgotten the principle.
P2: u have studied finance also
me: (kyun padha tha... :(() yup
P2: some discussion on balance sheet
me: not convincing at all
(meanwhile P1 who still is in a state of shock coz i have not heard the name of the movie "lost bicycle" starts waving his hand as in "let him go")

P2: you are from Information and communication tech background?
me; yes (thanks for the realization... i have done my engineering and not B.Com)
P2: so wat did u study in communication in your four years.
me: rumbled out all the things which i studied in last four weeks (gaining my short lived confidence back)
P2: ok
me: (ok???????? cmon kuch to pucho :(()

P3: so how do u rate the communication scene in india?
me: rate as in you want me to compare with something else... or a scale of 10 sort thing..
P3: no .... just compare with USA and say whether we are 10 years back or 20 years back...
me: oh ok... gave out the gyan on 3G in USA and europe and 2.5 in india... and how are very close to getting them...
P4: (cutting me) ok go.

The woes doesn't end here.
Reached my room and saw the results of IIFT. Yahan bhi shock. Had a superb interview but not converted. :(((
