is ximb using the essay or not??
hey della,

lemme tell u how the essay came into the picture during my interview. one of the panelist underlined a sentence from the essay and asked me to read it aloud. then they started grilling me on that particular sentence, what it meant, wat it spoke of me as a person, etc etc. To be more specific, they outrightly told me that i wasnt fit enough to be a manager (based upon the conclusion they drew of me given that i had written the sentence) and that i should concentrate on research work and go for a Ph.D

Congrats Rahul

To answer ur question, well, i wud say yes and no. Yes, it will create a good impression, and no, it will not be ur entry pass to XIMB. Similarly, ppl wit not so good acads needn't feel that they have no chance. Its all about justifying ur grades and sectionals in case they r not on the higher side.

I had a doubt about the weightage given to orissa domiciles...i know that noone has a specific idea as to what that weightage is..
whats the ratio of orissa/ non-orissa ppl?
is it really hard for ppl from outside orissa to get in..

Your final selection generally depends on the following parameters
1: XAT score
2: Educational background
3: Work-ex (if any)
and 4: Performance in the GD/PI

Guess its the same for most of the BSchools.

So you can compensate for shortcomings in other sections by performing well in the GD/PI. But rest assured, having a great XAT score doesnt really guarantee admission at XIMB

Well if you know you'll do well in GD/PI, then why are you getting nervous about it ? Just take it easy and perform as if its just another GD/PI
