Like I said, its just a speculation from my side and I hope people don't read too much into it.
HaHa,

We agree...thats y the Disclaimer from my side too....:-)

Hi People,

How are you guys?

I had been away from the thread for a long time but today I could not resist posting after so much chatter about the format.

See, GIM will have a selection process.

Chances are that the process may be different from what we went through, but the skils tested will essentially remian the same.

Now for example you want to have dinner.

You may either go to a hotel and let the waiter come and serve you, or you may go for a buffet where you pick your own food and eat it.

But EATING remains the same.

Similarly, 1 GD or many, HR interview interview or Technical or whatever...case study of task....

The fact remains that following skills will be tested

1) Your ability to articulate (Theek se bol nahi paye toh seedha nikal denge)
2) Your presence of mind
3) Your innovativeness, a solution oriented mind.
4) Your expertise in your chosen field
5) Your personality (Dont worry it cannot be changed now)
6) Your potential as deserving that 1 seat (That they will decide)

So irrespective of what the format of the selection process is, it is only these things that will be tested. No one is gonna test how fast you can run or much weight you can lift.

So dont worry about the format and start reading the newspaper and rehersing the answers to question WHY MBA and WHY SHOULD WE TAKE YOU...in front of a mirror. It will help you.

A SPECIAL GIFT FROM ME.

FULL TEXT OF MY INTERVIEW. WILL BE POSTED ON 22nd A BEFORE THE WAR BEGINS.

ALL THE BEST GUYS

Now

Hi All... I was the first guy to be interviewed today..

my Pi ex is as below


Time:8.45 date 23/02/2009
No of students:Not sure

There were 2 professors-
P1- Sir D’lima
P2-Sir vernekar

For me it was FIRST DAY, FIRST SHOW and FIRST VICTIM.. cos I was the first guy to be interviewed for the year 2009

@ start everyone was made to sit in one room and they asked to say one thing which strikes me the most….

again ,I was first to be asked and then everyone said something or the other…

My advice here is to be precise n convey the point in a sentence or two…

Next was the essay… topic was “Challenges of gloom!”(I wrote abt economic slowdown)

15 mins for essay and everyone had written something or the other….
I managed to fill one side of the page …

Then came the PI…

Me:may I come in?
P2:come in… sit

P1: How did u come to goa, mean how did ur family settle here..
Me: Blah blah.. told them the story..

P2: so u studied electronics, what is the impact of Global slowdown on electronics?
Me: Blah blah blah… I feel I didn’t talk to the point

P2 -> took a point which I mentioned and proved me wrong
Me-> agreed J

P2: Tell me abt ur job in ur company
Me: spoke a bit abt my project … (I feel, this was the only time I spoke sense)

P2: Tell us abt the FPS system…
Me: Spoke a bit as this was my project and wanted to talk more,But I was not able to talk as the topic got changed

P2: why Mba?
Me: blah blah

P2: What skills do u think a good manager should have
Me : Blah blah as ususal

P2: Why not so many entrepreneurs in India?
Me: ( got a bit emotional J ) put it on the education system J… n blah blah again

P2: so u think ur BE was a waste?
Me: Yes and blah blah again J

P2: What wud u do if u were the CEO of a company..
Me: blah blah

P2: tell me about urself
Me: communication skills, blah blah… and my ability to convince

P2: so u think u have convinced us
Me: I don’t think so

P2: Why do u think so?
Me: cos the looks on ur faces are not convincing enough

P2 : (smiled finally) so u have a good analyzing skills
Me: Yes (indirectly I have been rejected .. smiled too )

P2: Ok u can leave
Me:Thank u

interview lasted for around 15 mins and I was done…. Only call n I royally screwed up…All the best to the rest...




My advice here is
  1. keep it cool.
  2. stay with the topic
  3. dont say things just cos u have to open ur mouth.
  4. for essay, make sure that u finish it within 15 mins... need not be be a long essay but manage ur time and write down good points
all the best


Some food and sleep, dats all i want

First to be grilled---- was roasted and eaten up

Me:may I come in?
P2:come in… sit

P1: How did u come to goa, mean how did ur family settle here..
Me: Blah blah.. told them the story..

P2: so u studied electronics, what is the impact of Global slowdown on electronics?

P2 : (smiled finally) so u have a good analyzing skills
Me: Yes (indirectly I have been rejected .. smiled too )

P2: Ok u can leave…(and in silence probably the interviewers said “AND NEVA COME BACK AGAIN” J )
Me:Thank u

interview lasted for around 15 mins and I was done…. Only call n I royally screwed up…All the best to the rest...



My advice here is
  1. keep it cool.
  2. stay with the topic
  3. be a navigator n take the talks to a topic where u knw a lot
  4. dont say things just cos u have to open ur mouth. U will be royally screwed
And
  1. for essay, make sure that u finish it within 15 mins... need not be be a long essay but manage ur time and write down good points
all the best
So this was the 'surprise' that was in store for us!...

Neways Thx dude.....for sharing ur experiences!...Its not fair in fact to the first batch, who didnt have a clue abt the essay part!..

But lifez always like this..i guess!

Re: Admissions 2009-11 Goa Institute of Management - 23-02-2009, 03:52 PM

Important Notice:

For those having queries regarding the shift in dates, please read the following lines carefully.

The interview dates will be changed only for a valid and genuine reason. You shall have to produce the call letter of the other institute with which your GIM interview is clashing.

In case you have an interview for GIM at 1:45pm and for lets say XYZ college at 11:45am then you need to come to the center a day in advance and bring the necessary proof(ur GIM call letter,call letter of the college where u are having the second interview) and meet the administrative staff over there. It is entirely based on his/her judgement of the validity of the reason and the availability of an alternative slot that your dates shall be revised.

The date change is given this year to benefit the students who really need it. The administrative staff is taking time out from his/her usual activities at the center to assist you in the process. So please dont take silly excuses to them and increase their workload.

The interview dates for the various centers are as mentioned below.

Delhi 2nd march to 7th march
Mumbai 2nd march to 6th march
Kolkata 2nd march to 5th march
Bangalore 2nd march to 7th march.

The 2 slots are 8:45 am and 1:45 pm.

Only exception is for candidates having their interview in mumbai on the 6th march. Their first slot will be at 9:45 am and location is YWCA not YMCA(please chk ur call letters, am not sure if its 9:30 or 9:45).

Any queries regarding this let us know. Another thing, calling up the admission cell for date changes would not help as the changes would happen personally at the centers, if they are to happen.
