Yes you will surely get a call ... so start preparing.

Both GD & PI are there. GD/PI will be held in the 3rd/4th week of Feb.

Best Luck.

Well ... last year only the cutoff was 70 %ile ... and it's only when few students didnt join NIASOM we took a couple of students slightly below 70 mark.

But this time the institute may decide to increase the overall sample size to be interviewed (ie. increase the number of students in the GD/PI process). And in that case only you can expect a call. But it may or may not happen !!!!

So keep ur fingures crossed.

For gd/pi ... general Business GK ... a lil bit GK about insurance industry ... some basic fundaas of ur acads and/or work ex. ... and just good enough communication skill so that the interviewer can understand ur points clearly ... nothing more than that.

And be ready for some basic questions like .... why insurance industry? ... why niasom? ... etc.

Best Luck.

Ok buddy.. Then time to start GD/PI prep..

I have a query.. When are the calls for GD/PI generally given? Actually, in the month of Feb (during 3rd-4th week), i have my college prelims exams. So, are the GD/PI timings flexible, i.e. once m alloted a time slot for GD/PI, can i request them to change (as my reason is genuine )
