A.) Would be a part of your mutual fund programme if any and said it is being done by some coll like MDI...
(haan yehan par to climax tha....they sporadically started talking very convincingly...looked like they have been discussing about opening one since days...)
Interviewers ...smiled broadly...Thank you

BUT my interview lasted for only 8-10 minutes as compared to other candidates who wer called for shot for atleast 15-20 min...
and yeah at one instance the middle person asked a question in Hindi...and I opened my sentence with Hindi (2-3 words) and then switched to english...
Will it create a problem...

It was a total fish market with people engaging 1 to 1

Aseem Bhai , kya maar peet bhi hui !!!
Seriously u did well at the PI , thats what I think.

. BTW can any one tell uptill when the selection procedure will continue. I asked the panel abt the date for final results but they were not aware of that...

Maybe and Desperately by 15 march.

Hi Guys,

Attended GD PI at mumbai 9:00 am batch. GD topic: SMS advertising good or bad. They presented it in form of a caselet. It was a total fish market with people engaging 1 to 1. Only 4-5 people out 13 were really able to speak. PI was good. There were 3 people. 2 aged gentlemen, and 1 young industry expert. The panel was really nice and soft spoken. A very cordial panel. They mostly asked abt my work ex (as a s/w engr). why i wish 2 do mba... gave some situation: a company wants to implement ERP. what do u suggest for the network system- distributed or centralized. give reasons. asked me some questions pertaining 2 how a project is kicked off and what all is done in subsequent phases. One of them asked some GK questions like: who is the governor of goa and MH (cudn't reply though), SQ, states one has to travel inorder to go from mumbai 2 trivandrum.. etc. commented that i was having a very good tech qualifications. all in all a good PI but bad GD. keeping fingers crossed. I have 88.5 % in CAT. students of fore what say.. All the best to other guys. BTW can any one tell uptill when the selection procedure will continue. I asked the panel abt the date for final results but they were not aware of that...

Again ATB to all of u
Aseem

for gd we had to discuss the reasons for booming of call centres in india,and suggestions we wud make to the minister of industry to sustain and accelerate the growth for the same...it was a total fish market,the panelist had to interrupt 2-3 times to tell us to calm down...after 15 min we got 1 min each to sum up and then 2 min for conclusion.i managed to enter 2-3 times with some points.

i was the last but one to be interviewed...3 panelists including a lady were there.
had the most general interview i've ever had...they started off with acads..nothing very detailed,just some basics...(didn't get to introduce myself),little gen awareness,sth abt extra currs n hobbies.In the end they asked me which coaching institute i had joined(they asked this frm evryone)

didn't even ask me why mba...or why mba now(i'm engg fresher)...let alone wot specialization i want...found it really weird...

so wot do u think ppl...

3 panelists....same who were the moderators for gd...........................asked me abt the color of shirt i was wearing(pink) .................complimented me on how gud i was looking .................then me and the female panelist got into an argument over the time it takes to commute from faridabad to delhi.....( she was a prof of operations research...so she was delving onto the statistical aspect of everything............)...............and then a case........small one...............then asked me a few ques abt my business..................then asked me if u wud give a bribe and got again into a discussion regarding business ethics............................i staunchly said that i do not compromise with my ethics and do not pay bribes............and a few more ques.............................................. .....................................then it was all over.............................................. ..........lets wait for the results......................


P.S- ritesh dude.....ur coll is gud......crowd is also fine.............but the managment does not seem to trust the students ...................it wud have been gr8 if the management had given the organising part to the students ...i guess they wud have handled it much better than the peons and clerks on work

@ch21..
well mate ur encounter is intresting indeed....ATB for the results!

My fore GD/PI experience

Venue : Fore
Date : 21/02/06
Time: 9:30 AM

got there early , 13 ppl in one group , they took us the the audi and made us wait there while our docs are verified , these guys were really serious about it , were using a calculator and all

GD: a caselet about use of mobile phones banned in the campus and we had to take the case to the management authorities
ok type GD , i spoke about 3 times ,brought some new points in , there was a sardar alongside me and all he did was steal my points , i mean picked them up ditto , I said that we must not ban use but rather misuse and he says the same thing and so on.. but neways ok stuff

Interview : I heard that these guys take stress interviews , so i was worried, was third guy in the group

Heloo there to one n all..
for all those who still havents had their interviews.. i'll narrate my experiences.. i wonder if that'll make things any better , but nevertheless..
to start with.. there were abt 40 ppl scheduled at the same time slot as mine.. we were divided into 3 groups of 13, 13, 14.
the panelists for the 3 groups were different..
they started with the caselet kinda GD..
b4 the GD began, they made it clear that they had called 850 ppl for the GD/PI, n thus performinng well in the GD competing against 12 others did not translate into a good chance of selection st. away, coz u r hadly aware of wat happens with the 837 others...
it was a 25 minute thing.. 3 mins to think abt the case, 17 to discuss n at of these end of 20 mins they ask ppl who havent spoken in the GD to contribute.. or ask sm ppl some further questions.. for eg.. my caselet read " For every 1000 male children born in India, only 943 female children r born. The govt. has appointed a advisory committee to check the problem. What sugeestions woud u like to make , for the upliftment of women, as a member of an NGO."
so after the 20 mins.. they asked 1 person to summarise, 1 ," who is actualy responsible for the skewed sex ratio( parents/ society/ govt)".. n a couple o other such questions.

thatw as abt it for the GD.
In the PI.. it lasted abt 10 mins..
as for my panel.. a certain lady by the name of Dr. Sanghamitra,an OB teacher, One gentleman called Mr. Vinay Dutta,a finance teacher at FORE n some corporate..

first thing i was aksed was if my name matched my temprament, n wat instances i cud quote to prove the same.. did that.
next ques was " y MBA"..
i am working, so they asked me to calc the opportunity cost of doing an MBA,, n leaving my job.. in relation to the same.. asked the last year's avg salary at FORE..i had misquoted it.. it was actually 4.5 , for ur reference ...
then.. somethings related to acads.. make a marketing plan for a financial svcs organisation, differences b/w a telecom
svc provider n banking svc provider,,, (my academic background required me to know the same..so it was ok).. then some GK questions.. which i had no clue abt.. toooo bad on GK.. questions were.. wat is the Macmohan lline.. this i knew.. some other line.. that i had never herd of.. where is the Black sea :).. I know it sounds scary,, n that's y i mentioned at the beginning of my post that i dont really know how helpful my exxperiences will be, but nevertheless...N yes, I DO NOT HAVE A GEOGRAPHY BACKGROUND.
then a question.. is delhi a state or a UT.. n lady tried convinding me that since it has a CM n legislature.. it is a state...
n the least question was.. " how many times does the digit 9 appear b/w 1-100. i answered this incorrectly too :(.
that was it.. on the whole .. i am not really hopefull. cant really comment actually.. but anyways.. ALL the very best to all the others who r yet to take their interviews...

thanks cataracker but please increase the font size. I have spectaclesand it took some doing to read this

hey sonia

seems that u did well in GD...congrats for that..i think what matters is not how though or easy topic is....but how u analyze the topic and what new prspective u bring to the GD...
eavluate ur performance accordingly....

neways....best of luck for others...

pranav

hey guys..remember one thing..Its not tough to clear fore by any chance..all u'v gotta do is to b prepared not to freak out durin GD n PI..
GD topics as i've come to know frm people i know are way below the average..
like crime against women in delhi..
an PI involves bit of acads n a lil hr..which i guess all of ya can tackle wid a lil hard work

somebody post their experiences ... wheres everbody ???
