back from IIT Bombay
so much to write and so it would be a pretty long post
well i will first start off with what everybody would like to hear - my GD and PI experiences (
)
had my gd,pi on 28th feb. Was staying at IIT-B hostel itself . Reproting time 8:00
( damn, so early !!). 2 other friends ( from IIIT-H) also had the morning schedule
. . Reached the SJMSOM building. Engineers with ties and coats and trousers and what not :mg
were all there. 8:00- 9:00 presentation by the seniors. Nothing much
here. GD started soon after. Was a typical case study. As far as i remeber it was something like this
" Naresh is an accountant in a small firm in bangalore( he had done his Mcom and DBA course ). The job initially looked promising but after 1 year naresh found the work monotonous. The firm also was small and there were only few levels between him and the senior most position and growth and rise was near to impossible. In desperation naresh starts looking for a new job. He also starts to vent out his anger by talking to boss. Boss reacts by saying that finding new job in this scenario is difficult . Anyhow naresh soon finds a job but as a teacher in a school and leaves his current job. Boss when comes to know abt this says that he has gone crazy while his family and relatives feel that his move was unjustified."
Now we had three questions to answer :-
1. What would u have done if u were in place of Naresh.
2.What shud management do to retain naresh.
3. Was the reaction of his Boss and family justified.
These are not the exact words of the case study but the theme was more or less same.
Well 13 people in the GD
...........and that included 4 from IIIT
( one of my seniors was also threre ). We had planned that we would take the full control of GD ( 4 from same college means majority, isn't it). But alas. The first mistake that we made was neither of us started the GD ( damn it) . The person who started it straight away moved to discussing his point instead of laying the order of the GD. So in short there was no moderator kinda thing in the whole GD and overall it was a fish market. I made 2 or 3 entries in the GD to briefly put my point but nothing more than that.In the end the pannel asked one or 2 persons to speak who didn't get a chance to speak. All in all not at all satisfying considering the fact that my rank was 275 , so shud have performed 100 times better to improve any chance what so ever to get in Bombay.
Anways coming to the PI part .( now thats really intersting ............ so enjoy fully as u read
)
statement in angle brackets represent my own comments
. Another important point is that all 4 of us from IIIT-H had our interview one after another and i was the third person among the 4. So i enter the room and there are 3 persons ( 1 lady and 2 guys ) sitting there. I greet them.
1st guy: Tell me briefly abt urself !
I: blah blah <of course i had learned it 100 times
........ now as soon as i say i from IIIT-H this guy interrupts me >
1st guy: So u from IIIT Hyderabad again. What, are all 150 of ur guys planning to storm into MBA colleges < remember he has already interviewed 2 of my friends just before me so this was a obvious comment>
I: <i just smile back and continue with my intro........... as soon as i finish this 2nd guy now starts to speak>
2nd guy(with the beard) : < i had mentioned in my intro that i have studied in DPS ranchi for 10 years ( class 3- 12) so this question was realted to that thing > were u there in 1992 in dps < i nod> in 1996 <i nod> in 1997 < i nod> in 2000 < i again nod...... i was feelin somewhat happy in nodding everytime
but soon it would turn out to be a disaster
............. > and so do u recognize me ??? < what the f%^& ............ what was he trying to imply............... >
I: no sir , i don't recognize u !!!
2nd guy: what !!! u don't recognize me ....... do u know that i am from SAIL ( it is ranchi also ) and have been chief guest at almost every annual day event in DPS Ranchi < damn it ......... whoever he is why the hell he had to be in my pannel and obviously i didn't remember him ........ how cud i , i never went to any of those annual day
........ >
I: I am really sorry sir but it has been a long time since my school days. It might be skipping my memory <
>
2nd guy: < gives me a glance which i didn't like at all > Dps ranchi is a very good school ....... how come u landed in IIIT and not in IIT < he didin't say tripple I T but
instead laid stress on every I >
I: sir i got a rank in IIT but it was very low ( 2952) ...... so had to take admission in IIIT-H < i also said by laying stress on every I
............ tit for tat
mg:>
2nd guy: So how many guys cleared the IIT and how many IIIT-H examination from ur school
I: sir none other than me cleared IIIT-H < how cud they when no body else had taken the examination
> and around 20 guys in IIT < yeah >
2nd guy : < nods his head>
1st guy : suraj your cg is 8.68 ..... so whats ur standing in the class?
I: my position would be around 30 among 150 students.
1st guy: ok suraj can u write the Taylor series
I: < #$^*(&^*^&$%$ ....... what the hell is that ...... aha sometime during 1st sem this talyor thing had come but who remembers it now> sorry sir!, i don't remember the talyor series <
loud and clear was this answer>
1st guy: Ok write down any series that u know
I: < $%@#$% can't he leave this question> promptly wrote down the logrtihimic and exponential seris < knew nothing except these so don't laugh>
2nd guy: can u point out some practical applications of these series ?
I: < kya yaar kahe ko bor kar raha hai ....... itna kuch to hai poochne ke liya aur ye log series ke peeche pad gay hain ....... i start looking up and down and then towards them with blank eyes ......... kya boloon kuch samajh me nahi aa raha tha
........... anyways the guys himself starts answerig the question and somehow comes to rotation of sun and radiation effect thing>
2nd guy: can u write the equation of radiation and what all factor it depends on ?
I : < ding dong ! ding dong !........ naah dimaag ke kisi kone me batti nahi jalee ....... tried blurting out some stuff which neither he nor me cud understand ...finally ..> sorry sir, i have lost touch with physics <
....... marta kya na karta>
2nd guy: i didn't expect this from a student of DPS ranchi ....... its such a good school and u are not able to answer the question form physics <
..... yaar dps ko kyon pakad ke rakha hai .......... jindagi ki sabsi badee galtee hui thi jo dps join kiya ...........agle saat janam me dps nahi join karoonga ......... chup baitha raha>
1st guy
k suraj , u said u are from jharkhand...... so tell me what are ur views on creation of new states
I: < thank god !, finally some material to talk abt ....... jharkhand and ranchi ke baare me to puri history use suna doonga
.................. gave a decent answer to this question ............ was grilled more on this aspect .......like what is the current scenario and et al....... somehow included politics and discussion went in that direction ......... this was the only time when i could speak some stuff>
< they asked some more question which i don't remember now ........ would add them laterz>
interview lasted for abt 20 minutes ..
I anyway knew that with a poor rank chances are little so basically went to enjoy Mumbai and yes found it really cool.
IIT bombay is really good ........ with such a large campus ( yeah after living in IIIT for 3 years the IIT campus sure looked overwhelming) its really a cool place to live .........the hostel ( h-12 and h-13) where SOM people stay has been recently constructed and man they really have some large rooms and beautiful mess and canteen.
All in all enjoyed bombay ............ that day strolled for abt 12 (in the night) on the streets of mumbai before returning to hostel
.
suraj
, when d result comes}
, what is this?
, moreover, they have not even read my SOP before interview, no questions on my workex, my engg degree, and things like why mba and why iit.... 
5 mins late and not much happening there..
