MDI interview - 27-03-2003, 02:39 PM

hii guyz

my gd/pi for MDI went on fine.. atleast i was satisfied by interview performance.. had my gd/pi at IISc blore on 26th at 11.30.. the GD was a case study of 2 pages abt a CMD of an iron & steel mftging company firing his managers n later re-instating them... lotsa characters n data in the case i cldn't even manage to read the final para(had the crux of case here)... the discussion lasted for jus 6 mins as all we guys din discuss further (how cld we do tht when we din read the entire case ) ... gave a 1 min summary n later was given 5 mins to summarize on a piece of paper..

i was 1st in the panel for the interview...
1. started off wit the lady in the panel asking abt tell me abt ur self.
2. asked abt work-ex
3. do u want mba jus for the degree beside u r name
4. y entrepreneur
5. diff between entrepreneur n manager ( a fair chap in the panel had gud sense of humour)
6. under grad specialisation n diff between electrical n electronics
7. relation between them both
8. wat do u know abt inverters ? n draw the output waveform of the ac voltage
9. name 2 famous electronic companies
10. name an mnc competitor for motorola
11. whoz the IT minister in india(i wasn't sure abt arun shourie bein the IT minister.. so din answer)
12. which company compaq merged wit ? n y ?
13. do u think pepsi n coke shld merge ? justify ! (told'em all crap)
14.did u hear abt 3M ( din knew wat it was )
15. which country does nokia belong to ?( blunder.. told them i thnk sweden)
16. do u thnk GD is a fair criteria for selection ?(told'em it depends upon wat characteristics in a candidate they were luking at)

on the whole the interview went on fine n i cld maintian a gud sense of humour along wit the panel .. interview went on for 10 mins... but luking at their GD/PI schedule i feel the result is pre-decided n the entire process is jus a formality..

Sunil

P.S bingo tu ne tho interview panel ko phaadke rakh diya

Hi sachkal.

From what i know MDI is supposed 2 b pretty good. In Delhi, it is the best after FMS. And being in Gurgaon, that means a lot of good firms will end up recruiting there. But i've hrd rumours that it is pretty expensive - total cost including cost of living is rumoured 2 b in the ballpark of 5-6 Lakhs. If u r a guy who has 2 depend on a student loan 2 get u thru B-School, it might b tough paying it off
and i've heard of most placements being in the 2.4 Lakh to 4 Lakh per Annum.
This is not stuff i know 1st hand. so take it with a pinch of salt. Delhiites, please correct me if i've gone wrong abt any of this

Hi Guys,

Thanks for the responses, And as per latest ET reports, Avg Sal is 6 Lakh for MDI which i feel is decent. Yaar the issue with me is that I am having 2.5 yrs workex in IT and my name is not there in first list of SPJain and i don't have any high hopes for the second list also. I was actually screwed very badly in iim indore interview about college acads which i didn't remember at all. MDI interview was decent and it is the last hope, !!!

Any suggestion guys !!

Hi SachKal!

Dont know if i have addressed ur predicament properly, but i wud advise u abt MDI is that even though Acads and Infra is great, with 2.5 years of work ex its not exactly a great place to go

Dont know exactly where u picked avg salary waala stat, one of my friend who was working with Infy for 2 years was placed this year with Asian Paints for 3.5 Lakhs only and he said placements are not "Hot" since the year 2000

These are jus my personal inputs, please do verify them

Also take cost/benefit ratio while moving to MDI

Also dont lose heart on IIM I coz with 2.5 yrs ex u r not expected to know everything, and they must have been stress testing you

Wishin u luck with Final Calls

Bye

Hi All,

As we are talking abt placements and package related stuffs here, an open qs to everybody : Do you really have any reliable news abt the packages offered in the B'schools ? Is it the actual take home salary ? I am not so sure whether this qs should have appeared in a separate thread ... but would like if u all share ur views on this ...

Thanks a ton pal,

The information i got about the Avg sal is from the Economic Times (Tuesday) this week's. I am also trying to collect some information about MDI and will post it here as soon as i get it.

Hopefully !! It was a stress interview as you say, ...

I am little more doubtful abt this issue as sometimes theres gulf difference between avg salaries printed in B'school rankings in different mags. as well as from the students themselves ...
