The questions were completely based upon one's own interests. The candidate can lead the interview with relative ease. No questions on acads were asked to me, but some other folks from my batch have had questions COMPLETELY from acads, so be prepared!

gd topic : "is peace and non-violence an outdated concept? "

slot 3rd march 9:00 AM (venue XIMB)

gd was one of the most peaceful ones i have ever seen. No fighting or fish market scenario.
The interview began with me. I am a fresher so no questions related to work exp or why i wantu mba and all. My questions began with some fundamental electrical questions like

1. Difference between electrical and electronics?
2. Diff between AC n DC
3. Diff between analog and digital
4. Conversion from HEX to BINARY
5. Which is more dangerous AC or DC
6. rest questions were based on the gd as i was in favour of the topic.
7. Then asked me to chalk out a way of protesting against college management if students have some problems with the management. i guess i impressed them with this one.
8. One of them asked me to consider him as a layman and then explain inheritance to him. ( Again impressed i guess )

Yeah one piece of advice

When u answer questions on tech streams they may say that ur answer is wrong, but don lose heart coz they are probably testing ur confidence.
If anyone has any queries please post.....

And yeah they never touched my certificate file or asked for CV. But its better to be on the safer side and carry them with u.
Best of luck to all of u out there
