[2002] IIM indore gd/pi

[Coldfusion]

Well cs99001 looks like we were in the same GD and didnt even know. In fact I was sitting to your left .
Since you described our GD so well - that's one thing out of the way .

My interview was the last of the panel and a nightmare. About the only thing I said was "I don't know" .
Three guys in the panel. One started on Civil Engineering and maths stuff. For one I hardly remember any of that stuff, for another even if I did it wouldn't have made any difference. He passed on the baton to the next who bombarded me with GK (indian politics- first prime minister, president, head of the army, constitution etc...). This was the only place I answered something. All this while the third fellow was mum and the first guy went back to reading some book (Kenichi Ohmae - didn't catch the title - from the size it looked like Borderless world).
Well that is one interview I expect nothing from. Hoping K will be an improvement .

i remember. Hope 2 see u on 28th for K.

about iview, i recall 2 more Qs which i messed up.
They asked about the differences b/w win98 and 2000
i said about 98 being for personal use while 2000 as server too.,then about increased usage of systems resources ....
But they said i shud have been more technical.
Then they asked what was S.T.P.I i asid i ddint know.but it struck me just as i got out. isn't it supposed to be the Software technology parks of india?
None of the 3 iviews i had so far had been satisfactory .
tis was on of the slightly better ones.
Still K & B to go.So hoping it will all click at the right time.

Hi Guys,

Iam finding this discussion forum very informative, I would also like to share my experiences with Indore on 13th. GD was a case study about some employees leaving a concern in Bhopal. During the case study, I observed one from the panel actually reading a novel and not even listening to what we were shouting. As for me the case study went very well.

I was happy and relaxed. Then came the eye opener--interview. There was no introduce yourself type questinos, but directly what is FMS ( as i am from mfg. background). I have been working in IT for past 2.5 years and didn't remember much about acads. They kept on asking me about acads and acads and in addition to I don't know sir, i also gave wrong answers. It was horrible experience. They didn't ask me anythign about work, hobbies, but only about acads. It was not a good experience coming out of interview panel after 12-15 mins with me almost holding my head as Indore was my only call and they screwed me up.... Dunno what to expect.

The I experience:
Strictly Ok.
GD: Case study about an army man in a management role.
Had a very good GD. 8 people, made sense speaking most of the time.
PI: Started with Linear Algebra, Eigenvalues, Eigenvectors, rank of a matrix, singular matrix. Then was given two math problems to olve. One a tame binary to decimal conversion. second a x-y-z axis related problem. Made a mistake in teh second problem.
Then the third guy started with GK. Political situation of Tibet, Karmappa, Dali Lama etc. Education of Kalpana Chawala, Hong Kong, China, Bangaladesh. Ye lord! I really made a mess of the GK questions.
