My Slot - 1 PM

Reached there at 12:30..... Had to stand in the sun as the line at the registration desk was very long as was stretching on the road.......

After registration, My group co-ordinator collectd the photocopy of my docs........
A presentation on SIBM, with nothing else matters in the background....
Had to fill the preference sheet then........

At 3 , my GD commenced.....
A case Study : Mohit, a very fair, honest and popular student leader........
A girl sheetal, caught cheating.........
She is the cultural secretary and very popular......
Also she is hard working, intelligent and comes from a poor back-ground.......

Principal withdraws her schholarship and does not allow her to give other exams.......

So, all the students want to go on a strike........

What should mohit do now???

Had a nice GD, though i am not sure of my performance........

Then a snack break........

Then the PI started.......
Panel was least interested in starting anything........
Some of the PIs in our group just lasted 2-3 minutes.........

Mine was ok ok........
They seemed very passive, no reactions visible........
Again, not sure of my performance.........

Then again a long wait.......Followed the group task.......

The football one as mentioned earlier..........
The ball should not touch the ground and u can not touch the ball with your upper limbs (i.e. hands........)

We got free at 8........

The process was a lot delayed for us.......

So be prepared for a good wait..........

SIBM admission comittee can sure put better job then what they r doing rightnow......

Otherwise the students are good......
Our group co-ordinator was very friendly and jovial.......

Any questions, just shoot.........
All the best

Hi mandar_mdd,

Find last year's gd/pi experiences attached here.
Hope that helps you.

[anayash]

First day first slot.
There was a presentation(in which i was totally uninterested....n posed me a question on dat in the interview...asked me to name 7 alumni of SIBM...what d hell?? i told just one...lolz)

First was the group task....10 of us...first a psychometric test....then all were blindfolded....disoriented....ends of the rope handed to two ppl...then asked us to form a perfect square...went well....v were pretty close!!

Next was a case study....a company supplying industrial equipments manufactures a new product called Super Silicone which causes quick adhesion of rubber to anything....product was costly....target sales were 35 in a given period of time n actual sales were 15....going into losses....what the company should do?
4 options
1.Cut the price of the product to half
2.Put in more sales people to market the product better
3.Reducing the sales target
4.Scrapping the product.
i was one to start....Went well....most people were in favour of points 1 & 2...there was only one lady who stressed on point 3....n point 4 ka to sawaal hi nahi....overall it was fine(barring certain 1 on 1s)....everybody got a chance to speak!!!

Then came the PI.
Me being from Pune...asked me...u must be knowing SIBM very well...i said yes...then came 7 alumni wala question
why falling acads?
why mba?
why finance?
asked me if i've read ne autobiographies? i told them Lee Ioccocca's n spoke well on it
SWOT analysis
two major mergers/aquisitions involving Indian companies in 2007...told them Tata-Corus...cudn't tell the others(should hav said kingfisher-air deccan...aargh!!)

neways...fingers crossed...all the best to the rest of you guys!!!
