I am posting my experience. If not this year, they will help the next generation people.

My profile: BE with 3 yrs exp in core industry.

I reached there at around 8.45 AM. The introduction presentation was already near to end. Seniors form TISS (one lady chiefly) were replying to the aspirants' queries. We came to know that in last batch there are around 60% engineers. Then we were sent to the admin section , to confirm, if our application forms have reached TISS or not. Then we gathered in the main lobby, where GD groups were announced. In some groups there were fewer guys when compared to others. They were announcing roll numbers of around 10 people.

GD
------------
GD table was rectangular, and we were close enough for a good communication. Two vigilantes were there, two ladies at one side of the table. Before GD, We were provided with a piece of paper each, for jotting down points. We were given two topics, we chose one after voting. It was like "Is reservation in higher education only alternative for social equality?". They announced the topics and after that we gave ourselves half a minute to note points and think. They one person started. We had fair and calm GD and everybody participated. But it was stopped and interfered two times by the invigilators. No one was asked to conclude.

PI
-----------

We waited in the same seminar hall for about one hour, when my turn came. There were several panels, my PI was in room#4.

Questions:

You are from ....

Why do you want to do this course?

What is your qualification?

Why did you change your job?

What is your present role in your organisation? In previous job?

Why HR then?

One question about organised and unorganised sector. How can you defile both?

If you are asked to speak about industrial relations in front of many people, what will you speak.

Give examples of some M&A activities in recent times.

What are the benefits for women employees in your organisation? What do you feel about it?

Your interests and hobbies? Some more chit-chat on that.

Where do you live?

If you get selected without hostel, will you accept?

Most of the people were having good PIs. So we can't be sure about the final results based on our own PIs. Let us hope for the best.

It was a well organised event, and I felt good about it when I returned back to join my office, around 1.15 PM.
