are v given a choice between both? or is it mandatory 2 take up both the subjective and objective tests??????

my interview experience:

2nd round again a group of 6...3 on the panel only 2 askin questions... this time each 1 of us asked for a 1min intro...1st question put to us: should parliamentary proceedings be aired live? not a gd... each one had to answer wen asked...one of the interviewers also stopped a guy who was facing us and talkin to look at the interviewers while answerin...very chill atmosphere like friends meeting up to talk bout stuff...2nd question: does a sense of humor require a high IQ level?
one of the girls in this panel had written 'extrovert' on her form so she was asked the defn..then each of us wer asked if v agree/disagree

What if someone really doesnt have something to say apart from the form. U might have seen cases like this?

Hi buddy apne i/v ke baare mein bhi kuchh batao yaar.
might be over by now i hope

[Trishanku]

As for ur query regarding u have nothing to say other than teh form .......there were people like that but the panelist repeatedly mentioned something OUTSIDE the form.........so invent something if u dont have nething..............safe to say ur qualities, ur career goals or something relevant

The Gd was kinda like the IIM one with they not interfering at all

I hope that answers ur query

ATB to all u guys

Date: 26th Jan
Scheduled Time: 11:30 AM

I reached there at 11:00 & got myself registered (you have to notify the student panel & they will crosscheck u with the photograph u have provided). There were around 100 students called for the interview.
After waiting for 3 hrs, my interview started at 2:00 PM.

Round1: GI1
Applicants: 3 OR, 2 IM (myself & a girl from TCS), 1 Fin (a girl from ICICI). ALL 2+ work ex
Prof: 1 Finance prof & Dr. Matoo

Started with the usual introduction by each one of us followed by Qs specific to one's form. The Qs were generic & all they wanted is candidate's opinion about some issue or liking s/he has shown.
This later moved on to the usual qs. Some were asked Why SP & others were asked Why MBA or Why U...

All in all the faculty panel was very coordial & pleasant. Everyone was asked about 3-4 Qs & the interview ended in ~40 mins. At the end i could sense that the panel was quite happy with our performance.

Round 2: Online Psycho test
This is the worst thing that cud happen to anyone... 56 Qs (each had around 6-7 lines) to be done in 60 mins. Testing the same trait thru diff situations. The best way & only way is to be the actual u without even thinking that u have come for an interview.

After this results were announced & 4 of us were selected (2 OR, 1 IM (myself) & 1 Fin girl)

Round 3: GI 2
we were joined by 1 guy for OR & 1 girl for Mkt.
The panel (2 prof & 1 from student's panel) was quite cool but more serious than the previous one. We were again asked to introduce ourself & then it proceeded with very very generic Qs & our opinions abt them. It appeared they were trying to test our attitude & approach (but this is just my opinion). This round was even shorter than GI1.
Whatever confidence i had gained after the 1st GI was lost after the 2nd GI. They didn't asked much to anyone of us . Just keeping my fingers crossed.


Also, the student panel really worked hard & was very friendly (met krishna, dinesh, abha). InCase u have any prob/query, directly approach them.



missed u there (whts ur name?)... are u sure abt the 2000 calss.... wondering how will they have it in next ~10 interview sessions

I had my GI on 29th. Jan. It was almost similar to above experience.
No GD topic to discuss amongst us in any GI round. All candidates from the first round were shortlisted for second GI round...
The second round of GI was short with 2 questions per candidate. That seems to short a round for any comfort...Then the psychometric tests...2 of them...it really sucks you out !
