Hi ppl.... had my interview today in Chennai along with Gaurab.

Started off with an essay on "Children on the information highway"... all of 20 minutes for that.

Then had a GD on "Do we really need FDI?" Each of us spoke for about a minute initially,and then it was an open discussion. Quite an orderly GD on the whole... everybody got a chance to speak. Lasted an hour.
Then went on to the PI's... was second to be interviewed. The panel had 4 people on it, one lady and three gents. Quite a friendly lot..... didn't pressure me too much. Some of the q's I got were:

1) What are the two best things about you? (asked a few q's based on my answer)
2) If I were to ask you to speak for a minute on international business and it's implications, what would you say?
3) Do you think a knowledge of international business is essential for everyone?
4) Do you think there's a growing awareness of the need for commerce education? (am a b.com grad)
5) Describe the nature of the job u held and the reponsibilities involved.
6) Did your acctng background help you at work? (said yes)
7) Give a few examples

Tell us what you know about WTO and it's functions
Moved on to extra curric.... was a mag editor in coll
9) Tell us something about the magazine you brought out
10) How many ppl worked with you?
11) Why do you need your juniors to work on a job like this?
12) How did you go about it?
13) can you give us the name of a scientific method of ordering events and executing them? (smiled blankly and sweetly and said no

)
14) Did you face a situation where you felt compelled to show some favouritism?
15) have you ever faced an ethical dilemma, where you stood to gain by committing a misdeed? (said no, worst i did was bribe a watchman with 20 bucks

... come on yaar, I haven't lived that long!)

They then thanked me and told me I could leave..... took around half an hour all together. This is all I can remember right now...... hope it helps all those who're preparing for their rounds.... good luck ppl!
