[abhinandansexy]

i had my iift stuff at 9:30 at iift, met quite a few puys and many recognised them and i guess still remember me(the one in blue shirt who was babbling a lot)
anyways coming straight to the pointthe whole thing was of 3 stages
1st was essay spiritualism is again gaining momentum in india( time alloted 20 min)
2nd was gd foreign investment in higher education in india( 1 hr, yes 1 full hr)
3rd was interview( just was asked in depth about the resume thing and conents)

essay:spiritualism is again gaining momentum in india
i wrote aboput our spiritualistic past , why it degenerated, then the contemporary scenario and its relevance( hectic life, conflicts , fights over petty issues etc) , then about art of living, baba ramdev sanskar channel etc, then about the fake guys exploiting our innocense, then concluded that india could setan example for all other countries who are fighting over indentity etc ...and ofcousre more blah blah

gd: 2 min to each 10 guys, then session thrown opened for all and each had to be moderator for 3 min
i raised about forex investment, industry specific needs and philantropic and deemed status of the foreifn industries and said that we had rice(talent) but we need cooked rice(training) but the foreign countries are giving us cake to eat..
as a group we also discussed about regulatory mehanism, relevance to different fieldsand somewhoh corerelated to primary education etc etc.... i think 30 guys were present for gd and divided into 3 groups , it wa only our group where the gd was very harmonious and we let everybody speak, heard from other fellows that there was a fish market but still as they had onehour to babble so everybody got chance to speak....

interview: the oment i entered the room my file fell down and my testimonials were on the floor, but i dint panic, picked them up and started to answer the questions very confidently.... as i am a final year b pharm student so i dont think my interview will interest you all engineering and commerce guys much.. but yeah he asked me where is bruendi, i answered it rightly that it is a north african country...

anyways with a written score of above 28 and good essay gd and pi i will make it but u never know so lets wait till the result ....
and best of luck to all u guys, onlyone suggestion chill....
sibm , i am coming on 1st feb...!

[pesfunk]

Same as abhinandansexy. Essay was OK types. The second prof gave the topic.....it took me 5 minutes to connect me to the point.... . All i could think of was sprits (Bhoot !).

Overall :

Essay: 6/10
GD: 7/10
Interview 8/10
