had my IIM-Cal gd/pi on 22nd morn at IIM-B campus. GD topic was "United nations is dead . Long live United Nations" we were 8 of us and were asked to discuss instantaneously on tht topic for abt 15 mins...i was the last one to summarise and i did it for jus 30 secs.
i was in panel 3 which had 3 male profs of them one bein a young chap... i was last in the panel to be interviewed and most of the interviews went on for 20-30 mins.. tht was a day of bloopers with 3 guys making lotsa mistakes in their forms(not fillin their name, mother's qualification) my interview started off at 1.10 with panel being very polite and cheerful
1. they asked me abt my surname. i'm a Reddy n name doesn't hav reddy whereas my dad's name got it... was asked to justify on it n the reasons y i din't like to hav it in my name...spoke for abt 5 mins on it
2. name a famous politician whoz a Reddy but who'z name hasn't got a reddy in it ?
din knew the answer inspite of them givin me a clue.. they told me tht it was Sundarayya(dunno whoz he n whether hez a reddy) and asked me which position did he hold ? i told'em tht he mite hav been the CM of AP some years back n they started laughing when i gav this reply...i too joined them n told them i din knew anythg abt him
thgs tuk a bad turn from here
3. the 3rd prof asked me abt the length of time i summarised my GD... told him tht 30 secs n told him tht since everyone where tellin the same pts... i told him tht i added a new pt which we missed out discussing during the GD
4. next was asked abt my poor acads n the number of backlogs i had... told him tht i was more into extracurrics n was asked the number of students having backlogs for a particular sem...in a haste i told'em 10/60.. shld hav told'em 30/60 atleast by tht i cld hav given evidence tht itz difficult to clear subjects in my univ(unfortunately i cldn't thnk of tht
)
5. i was asked abt rectifiers... i spoke in length the different kind of rectifiers n their functions , the components involved n the entire procedure... then i was asked to draw the o/p waveform of the rectifier n a few Q'z on it followed.
6. asked me abt my work-ex... told'em wat i do... 1st prof asked me y i was doin such kinda job(marketing job) which any common man can do n y am i wastin my engg degree over there....i was aggressive n told him though it has no relevance to my engg, it requires gud skills to do it.. n also questioned him back sayin tht... watz the significance of the under grad degree of a mgmt grad whoz into mkting once hez into MBA...
... also told him tht if a comp sci engg takes up systems in MBA then his under grad degree carries forward or else undergrad has no significance....i was a bit arrogant here n tht mite hav surely pissed them off
7. the 2nd prof now asked" explain to a layman ...if he catches an electric wire sometimes he dies n sometimes he won't " my elec basics were very bad n i started off wit the funda tht the man wears slippers n so hez insulated n next time he won't n so he conducts... the young chap got wild by me reply n shouted at me n repeated the Q ... i mumbled somethg n atlast i said i dunno... he gav some reply which i cldn't follow... n said thank u n asked me to leave
i came out at 1.30 ...interview went on for 18 mins... but they seemed an uninterested lot as i was last in my panel for tht session n they were in a real hurry to push me off early...no Q'z on maths / extracurrics.. just those 6-7 Q'z in which they went into a lot of details....on the whole not a satisfactory performance... n not waitin to hear from them
