hello to all

i m starting wth frst GD PI experience to help ppl out....i knw its quite late but still posting if any help to someone....

I had mY GD PI schedule on 17th at 8.30 slot......
till 9 my docs were verified......and i was lucky engh to be called for interview in the start...

In FAct i was the Frst one being interviewed.....

my panel was 3
There were 3 gentlemen out there....
( out of three 1 reached almst aftr half interview)
interview lasted for 10 minutes

few questions which i could recollect were....
technical stuff was basic.... like PN junction and transistor
thn came the questions such as Why MBA...????? tried to gv a proper answer but they werent too keen.( seems like) to take interviews in the early hours....
then asked me why i chose to do MBA before work ex...?
also things tht interests me in life?

in all a good interaction .

key is to remain calm.....

moreover....a strange question was popped up in last part of it tht wether i joined any coaching or nt fr the preps... i said No.... he he



thn aftr 10 minutes had my Gd around at 9.45
in between met Trushin sir and other students( hospitality take my words is awesome, it was like every one was treating me like their younger brother advicing to the best they can)

in GD 2 topics were given to us
1. Secular India it still exists?
2. Appreciating Value of Rupee against Dollar.

no guesses our grp chose the second topic///
7 min were gvn for discussion
and finally they gave signal to conclude.....

on the whole my IIT R experience was Exhilarating....one of the best Home like experience outside home...words are short to describe the reality///

u urself will realize in short while

[aish_sand]

My JMET rank is 793......and believe me guys there were ppl wth rank even lesser then 10 coming at IITR for interviews etc..so competition is really tough and remember the most important line

They dont have any Obligation to fill all the seats....so take care and do best////

ATB to Pg's

[thestoryteller]

This won't be of any help to the current batch, but for the next one, for whatever it's worth, here goes -

I had mine on the 16th, in the second half.
GD - we chose to discuss "Kids today are not what they used to be". There was another topic, something on the dollar and ruppee and I really couldn't figure much about it.

PI - Panel #2. Amazing panel, 4 panelists. Very friendly.

Q1. Define yourself.
Ans: I'm blah... working with Blah for 2.5 years now. I work in Product engineering. The current product I'm working on blah...

Q2. about the product.
Q3. Do you work on development or testing?
Q4. Do you think blah's strategy (my organisation's) is good. They have diversified...
Ans: Gave them my opinion, and a couple of analogies.

Q5. Why MBA?

The PI then drifted to general chit chat, and then a little on the University of Roorkee.

Q6. Do you support Mr. Ratan Tata on the Nano?
Ans: Yes.
We then discussed the nano and its positives.

Q7. There is certain political unrest in Maharashtra. Are you aware of what is it all about?
Ans: Gave them my opinion.

Q8. What are the Good Schools in the US for MBA?
Ans: Kellog/Whartom/Harvard/Sloan.... etc.
Q9. Something about ISB, Hyderabad (can't recall exactly)

Then some general conversation on something I cannot recall!

Q10. What are the other IIT calls you have?
Ans: Currently Kanpur, Chennai.
Q11. Which one will you take.
Ans: Roorkee!
Everyone was laughing... gave them my reason... more laughter!

Finally one of the panelists said,
"Thank You Sonal. It was nice talking to you"
Me: 'I enjoyed this discussion too"
Thanked the panel, and came out!

Seniors, Thanks for everything! For a smooth GD/PI process, for the hospitality, for calming our nerves, for the conversation, for sharing your views...!!!!
