I don't really understand why u r feeling down. U r interview has went decently, according to me. From ur descriptions, I couldnt really guess who handlded the ivs.

Anyway, junta, pls don't feel sad or bad abt saying no. Somone toldme "NO" to 20% of the questions is quite common in IIM iv.s

ATB!

hi there. was at bangalore at 9.15 on thw 20th. three people - one bored, rheumy sardar, one dark upright moustached fellow, and one huge, pale funny-looking chap. the last guy did all the roll-calling, explaining etc.

My background: MBBS, Percentile 99.27, Xth 91, XIIth 91, College: 64

CASE: Shubha joins a company after her PGP. she has to leave the confort of her home and ome and live alone in the city, hoping to learn adn become self-confident at the same time. the company has a democratic work culture. when her immediate boss ashok goes on leave, he allocates her a new supervisor called suresh. the latter does not give her much work but later complains to ashok that she is incompetent. ashok notices that suresh is using her to do her personal work and shubha seems to be happy doing these petty tasks. she evens refuses to do some work allocated to her by ashok. ashok complaines to the CEO. shubha refuses to do the CEO's bidding as well as she thinks she must only please her immediate supervisor. she is asked to resign, failing which she wil be terminated. what should shubha do?

was a peaceful GD with four people from my Time group, and one girl...(the pretty girl went to some other group )

PI:
Sardarji (S), Middle guy (M), and Biggie (B)

S: why do you want to do an MBA?
Me: blah blah blah

S: why not health mgmt or hospital mgmt.
Me: explained

S: gave up after 2-3 min with 'well the decision is yours'

[thought i answered with confidence and conviction but dont know what to make of the last statement]

S; tell me about community medicine, public health, forensic medicine..

S: (pseudo med. Q)..thyroid hormones, stem cell research, colour blindness, carcinoma, edema etc.

Me: answered with aplomb

shifts to M

M: talks about photography, what camera i use, film and film speeds

Me: know and tell all

shifts to B

B gives me an integration and differentiation problem
I do the first but am not sure so i say so, although he can see my answer. tell him that i cant do the second one (have marked as such in the form) - although my math scores from 10th and 12th are 99 and 96 resp. ...dont knwo if thats good or bad...

asks me about the trajectory of a thrown ball but i cant give him the equation of a parabola

B: health min. of india
Me: dont know (who knows ramodoss?)

M: health min. of karnataka
Me: dont know (still dont know)

B: how many calls?
tell him

S: are you from bangalore?
Me: no sir, i am from kashmir, now settled here

S: that explains your name

they indicate that the IV is over so i thank them and leave

dont know wht to think

TIP: irrespective of work-ex., they are concentrating on acads, acads and acads so be prepped.

ATB

Poor me - 21-02-2005, 12:29 PM

My background: IIT-Kgp 2002 Mech work ex: 2.5 yrs software
My weakness: no clue abt thermo or fluid mech

Case Study was Ok .. started off well.. spoke 3-4 time

I was 7th for interview. three fellow A B and C

As soon as I entered the room somebody called out (I am still not seated)
A: so Mr Kumar how may types of Boiler are there?
Me: I am glad he didn't ask me what is a boiler. Smiles and tell him I have no clue and I am bad at thermo but good at prob stats OR etc.
All three panelist smile and the fellow tell me Mera number bhee aayega!

A: Asks what is an MPFI..
Me: tells him about normal fuel injection and some vague clue about what MPFI should be and instinctively I am close to being correct.

(meanwhile B asks for my file and starts studying it)
A: what is moment of inertia?
Me: (what the heck that was 7 yrs ago.. never toched again) I think for a while and explains him in bits how to get that (This I should/could have done better)
A: Asks about the axis thm?
Me: luckily recalled that told him..
A: what is I*alpha?
Me: (goofed up) don't know!
A: You are an IITian do a dimensional analysis and tell me?
Me: I did and got dimensions of energy.. Told him it is energy!
A: which energy?
Me: Rotational (should have been Torque dimensions are same)
A:Ask about Laminar flow..
me:tells him what is is..
A: Ask a question about flow in a pipe and ask me define parameters ...I am still thinking whether I read these words during my graduation.
ME: Sir you can check my marsheet... only three P's I scored in graduation are in Thermo Fluid and Prime Movers (But I am still I good mech engineer with 7.8 cg!!)
A: tests my patience with 3-4 more question in fluid and thermo
I keep on saying I don't know most of time..

At this point A closes the form I have given him Now he plays on my strength.
A:Ok what are types of probability distribtion
Explains well..
B: gives me a sort of case of smapling study and asks me to define some parameters.
me: Took some time and explained decently..
A: some more cross question
handled well mostly
B: You want to cross a river ask me for depth I'll tell you either mod, median or Mean what do you want.
me: I wouldn't like to bet my life on eithr of values.
Simles..

CHe speaks) you play chess.. who is current champion
ME: tells him Kasporov/... tells him ELO of Kasporov and V Anand ! ask about more GMs' tells him a couple more.
A: ask me since when is Kasporov ruling..
Me: perhaps since 94.. no clue..

So this is over.. they tell me it is nice to meet you.. me leaving..
B suddenly: what are other calls
I tell him a LACKI

he say best of luck for 'other' calls !!

Thats' it.. no intro ..MBA ...no work Ex question(damn I am there for 2.5 yrs)
So seems like I should do thermo before going for other what say??
