Ur answers (honest opinion of mine)
Strategy : Listen well, write quickly
Summary : It will be mentioned, in our case the prof said specifically, ONLY IN PARAGRAPH FORM

We get EXACTLY 5 minutes

In my group, as in most others on my day at IIMA, ppl were without suits, wear a tie though.... There was just one chap with a suit in my GD group.

If you don't have one, no need to buy one, in my own humble opinion... Just wear what u're comfortable with, confidence is more important than ur clothes. Wear something decent and sober, with non-flashy colours and a nice tie.... that's it.

All the best!

Regards,
Hanoz.

thats unusually small for a group, were there some absentees?



WOW really makes me remember of the TIME & IMS GD's with their mayhem!! actually its the first case of a fish market i'v heard actually happen in an iimA GD



can u start writing even when in the GD (and give urself more time)??




hardly anything on 2yrs of workex??
nothing on hobbies, other interests??

they do not seem to be too interested in workex... jus hardcore acads and theory!!

Hi

Answers to your query:

1.The group was supposed to be a 7 member team-two were absent.
2.I was the only one from finance-rest were all engineers.
3.As I was seated at fag end of the semicircle order and spoke only to make suggestions,I had started jotting down on the white sheet as well(Pink was for thoughts).Though its not advisable as the profs were pretty strict.And yes-The conclusion has to be in paragraph form.
4.No,They didnt ask anything about Interests or Hobbies or just about anything extra.

The GD was very noisy and I had made 3 suggestions to the group.They were like:

1.Since the student was caught cheating for the first time and seeing his background,we need to punish him liniently...ask him to reappear in the same exam and not expel him from the college.This will also keep Prof Gupta (the prof who caught him cheating) at bay as some sort of punishment is being imparted.
2.Hunger strikes and severe modes of protests should not be undertaken as it might tarnish the image of the college(as its a large technical college in delhi).Hence,a peaceful way of solving the matter internally should be adopted.This will avoid negative publicity as well.
3.To ensure,this type of practice doesnt happen in the future,we must streamline the processes that define the system.
The student board needs to propose a Ethical Memorandum that will clearly define the code of conduct for the students.Punishments for all types of crimes will be clearly mentioned so as to avoid any future mishap.This will be enforced and implemented in the coming session.

These were my suggestions which was also the conclusion for the entire group as none of my group members had much to say except sympathise with Rajesh.
It came to my notice later that all my group members had been pointing towards me and calling Ms Code of Conduct.

Thats the GD session which left me with laryngitis....an oscar winning performance I guess!

the enid blyton thingie was a good angle. not many ppl would expect an angle like food coming into it. i suppose u wud have talked on and on abt books, that part looks ok

i suppose u can cud have done without the survey thing..although i am not sure, but they would not exactly like to be known through newspaper surveys. i m not sure on this..can some PGite from IIM A plz clarify this (anuj, snan, zeitgist, shrijitp..)

childrens' book in india..u forgot Anita Desai..but thats ok

no ideA about the etrx stuff..but i suggest u get these popcorn questions filed away like pentium chips, Athlon 64-bit architecture nd other misc/related stuff. u know, the kind of things that we see and use in real life are the kind of questions that they will ask..its quite natural, na!

i suppose its a good interview..based on my perceptions...

..did u mention anything about ur other calls...??

d00d in my centre in delhi 50% of the guys were in suits rest of us (including moi) in plain shirt formal pants n tie though there were 2 d00ds who were wearing coloured sweaters(red n blue) without an ties--so guess no point in laying too much stress on clothes--it alos depends on da weather ..In my IIM-K @ mumbai--no one was in suits---so there u go...

sorry for replyin so late..:P i'm back to PG after a short hiatus...IIM-A intrvw next up on march 12th..havent been prepping up dat much..though tonight is the night for all dat... 8 days to go folks! :eek:

hav a lot to read up various paths that my intrvw might take... this is the one i've been looking forward to though... CAT was one helluva experience, this can only be the icing on the cake.. experience-wise that is...i'm not contemplating converting the call and all dat...'tis a great ride so far... onto A now! n junta, plzz post! or are the A-interviews in the south only starting on 11th march??

Payne[/QUOTE]

Agreed that Moore's Law would be dying out soon, but than one could perhaps add on about the dual core chips that they are coming out with, or have they already released them?

Pt is I was asked all sort of dumb Qs on Processors in my A interview. they wanted to know whether under similar h/w conditions a faster processor will be better or worse compared to a slower one and similar stuff on RAM, thought I could have tried to take them to these areas back then, but then, they simply didn't crop up in my mind.

anyway, tanks a lot for the areas. btw how do u define flops, I know they are units of speed lllr to hz at the supercomp level, but what?
