Hi Hari,

Are the results of IITD coming out tomorrow (27-04-2011)?

Hey, I am not senior but I heard from both the seniors at IIT B anD IIT D that all IIT results are coming tomorrow..

Hi Hari,

Are the results of IITD coming out tomorrow (27-04-2011)?

hw much is the course fee

varunatait Says

When will the course start this year ? I mean the exact date ?

July 25. Orientation might be held 5-7 days prior to that.

When will the course start this year ? I mean the exact date ?

I think it was mentioned in the presentation 91+24 (for telecom mgmt)...

what will be the number of seats in DMS this year ? last year it was around 90 and the year before that it was around 50.

I personally think that since China owns a good deal of Fed bonds, it's upto them to sell these bonds when they want etc.. their motive behind this purchase is often cited as a -ve tactic to cripple the US economy..
One reason behind this purchase was to make yuan stronger. Besides, pouring trillions of dollars into the US market raised inflation in the US.
It's true that purchasing of bonds can inject money into the economy but rapid selling can lower market values.....
After all they want to thwart the US in the long run.. don't they ?
No offence meant but the answer is not so simple I am afraid....

Thoughts on this... anyone ?.....:

P.S If I am raising this at the wrong thread, please redirect at the correct place.

Hi,

Its like this...one can commit suicide if one wants to, but one will not...
Since majority of exports from China are consumed in the US, the chinese and the americans are in a marraige of convenience...and they just cant simply part....
Unless china diversifies its markets elsewhere, which considering the scale of US consumption, is impossible in the next few decades...

P2: Can China pose a danger to Dollar?
Me: No. Coz they have all the Fed bonds, and US is its biggest customer...

P1: Are you sure China cant?
Me: Yes Sir.

First of all, a BIG cheers to IITD seniors!!!!

An completely organized process, patiently answered queries, a great presentation, less waiting time, no confusions, a quick bite at the canteen 'on the house
One sincere suggestion: Please post all the facts and info from the presentation to the website. The website is a global face for the school and definitely needs an update.

Posting my experience for the benefit of the next batch....
Slot : 5th March 8 AM , JMET rank 469

Academic Profile : BTech in EC (65%), ICSE 10th (88%) , ISC 12th (75%)

Work Experience : 16 months IT

Any other achievements/accomplishments : Good EC, certificates during work ex

GD Topic and Experience : "Budget 2011: Aha or Alas"
It was a large room with U shaped table, candidates were seated with some distance. I was at seat 1, and it was somewhat difficult to make people listen from there. Put up my points 4-5 times, there was rapid cutting in between. There were moments when everyone tried to speak at the same time but people refrained themselves soon after, as we were advised not to make a fish market, by the IITD seniors just before the GD.

Interview Experience : I was told by the senior whom I met outside the room that this panel has a finance prof so Im bound to get some questions from finance. He also updated me some current data. Thanks for that!

My panel consisted of the finance prof (P1), a person from industry (P2) and another person who left on phone as soon as I entered

P1 : Stated my marks from the form, asked whether its too early for me to do an MBA?
Me : Answered...also tried to share my Bplans, but he regretfully said that there was lack of time

P2 : What do you read to keep yourself updated?
Me : ET, Hindu, Economist....

P2: Tell me some recent news
Me: Told...2-3

P1: Whats the price of Gold?
Me: Told.

P1 : Silver? Euro?
Me: Told.

P2 : What the current GDP of India?
Me: Told.

P2: You know that China's forex reserves are more or less equal to India's GDP? Is that a threat to India?
Me: I answered in negative. The threat is the infrastructure capabilities of China. Also that English is now introduced in Chinese schools....

P2: Can China pose a danger to Dollar?
Me: No. Coz they have all the Fed bonds, and US is its biggest customer...

P1: Are you sure China cant?
Me: Yes Sir.

P2: Do you belong to a business family?
Me: Yes Sir.

P1: Is there any means to defy corruption and unethical practices? What would you do in such situations?
Me: I said to business in India, some lines have to be crossed, or they will be be inevitably crossed by others. But there is a distinction even in unethical practices, and while one is going the wrong way, one must not harm anyone else
http://cdn.pagalguy.net/pagalguy/smilies/cry.gif]

P2: What is the current unemployment rate in the US?
Me: Dont know. Maybe 15-20% [He told it was 8.1%, I nodded with a smile)

P1: Have you heard of SEBI? Who is the current head?
Me: Told.

The third person returns...P1 asks him whether he wants to ask something.... He answers in negative. I am thanked and asked to leave.


Overall, I was able to answer almost all the questions, except one about US unemployment rate and the ethical question.
Dear Seniors, please let me know what you think about my prospects....

Hi buddies,

Like this post's heading says...my first IIT experience in my life. The campus is astounding (barring accommodation, which can be excused considering the experience and knowledge one will get, post convert i.e). Will try to be as concise as possible..and the experience is just my perception. The reality could well be different.

Document verification & senior-interaction:
Everything was chilled out. Even if attested photocopies were unavailable, we were asked to self attest them. Missing photocopies were taken by the seniors for us. A very well managed process, in the most simple manner possible. The seniors played us a DMS clip and we all had an interaction, very 'insightful' I would say.

Group Discussion:
After the above process, my group of 12 was taken to the 4th floor. The mentor sincerely advised us to keep our taste for fish with us and against creating a fish market inside..alas, only if there were vegetarians in my group ;).

Topic: Lousy managers- men or women
I realized I suck at general topics like this. Thanks to IIFT preparation, I converted from anti-statistics to a pro-statistics guy..so statistics related topics are a yes yes for me. General ones, have to buck up :-(. They are looking @ the candidate's thought process I guess.

3 candidates spoke really well (not me plz)..I could make my entry only thrice. Whenever I successfully piped down one person to make my point, someone barged in at that precise second . Overall, a noisy fish market..to rub it in, one person tried to summarise the discussion (with the intention of adding something to it I guess) and the panelist asked us to stop & leave since he summarised .

Personal Interview (the biggie):
Since I was luckily/unluckily the first in my group...I was called in for the PI first. I stepped in to see 4 people chatting...4??? Another first for me
Sir1 (S1): DMS's Operation professor (Prof Ravi Shankar )
Sir2 (S2): personnel from the industry
Madam1 (M1): looked quite uninterested in my answers almost till the end :)
Sir4 (S4): Definitely from the industry :D
Me:
----
S1: (starts reading my form till starting of SOP)
Me: ( ..what about the questions??)
S1: So Satish, why IIT-Delhi?
Me: (Answered).
S1: Oh okay..so did you go through the faculty profile??
Me: (damn that hurt!!) I am sorry sir, to be honest, I did not go through the faculty profile.
S1: (beckoning to S2) Okay Sir.
S2: Okay Satish, what is the work that you exactly do?
Me: (explained)
S2: So are you a project or team leader?
Me: Sir, unofficially a module leader... (then explained the TCS' generous promotion policy)
S2: All right. So more than 3 years now..How would you say you have contributed to the company?
Me: (explained with an example...mentioned winning best team award..M rolled her eyes in between which stunned me momentarily)
S2: Okay am done. Thank you (smiling).
M: So, what other calls do you have?
Me: Ma'am, IITB - IITD - IIMRRT
M: So which one would you choose?
Me: (explained about the latter two...don't know how I forgot to mentioned IITB, which I hope they did not notice..ended by saying it would be a tight call)
M: Being a manager you can't say that. You have to choose!!
Me: Ma'am, can I answer assuming I have a call from IIT-D? (very stupid ques :oops:)
M: Yes of course, you must. And yes, you can (I had asked the question for this exact answer though)
Me: (told)
M: Okay, thank you (throws a disarming smile, couldn't help but smile :))
S3: Satish, so you are from the CSE background. Are you aware of the current trends in the field?
Me: (inside: ) .. outside: Yes sir, to an extent.
S3: (smiles) Okay, could you please tell me what is grid computing?
Me: Sir to be honest...I have heard of it. But I cannot explain it...(then gave a half-baked answer)
M: Why do you keep saying "to be honest"?
Me: ...... :)
M: So do you mean to say you are dishonest otherwise??
Me: .....
M: (looked satisfied)
S3: Okay, now could you tell us what is cloud computing?
Me: explained...(searched now and realized that my explanation was just okay)
S3: Can you give an example of a real-world application under cloud computing that has been tested and is in use??
Me: I am not sure sir. But cloud computing is very beneficial for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) ~should have mentioned the internet!! ~.
S3: Would it be better to distribute the resources or keep them in a single location?
Me: explained
Them: Okay, you are done. Thank you.
Me: (after a pause) If you don't mind, I have a question
M: By all means, please go ahead.
Me: ..question..
S1: ..answered..
Me: (satisfied look on face...thanked each one of them and left the room).

PI timeline:
S1= ~2 min; S2= ~3 min; M= ~1.5 min; S3= ~2.5min; my Q&A; session :D= 2min.. total: ~11min :)

To summarize...an average GD and a screwed up PI. Fingers crossed :-(!! An approximately 1-month wait starts now!!

Ch33rs,

Process

Well one has to hardly sweat to know the process at DMS IIT D, the students are co-ordinating it brilliantly.

Introduction and presentation
Document Verification
Slot division(just need to check your name in the list which they show)
Wait for your turn

You will be provided with a brochure, writing pad, pen, food coupon and a check list.

GD

You will be directed to the GD hall, by a student who will guide you through the process, give u insight abt the topics of GD and PI on how it is going .... basically he ll try to calm your nerves.

When taken into the GD hall, we were explicitly mentioned that not to make it a fish market because the panel didn like it. There is a single panel to judge the GD process.

Its a very big hall, u table, one of the panel members writes the topic on board.
'Women empowerment,for the better society"

there were 12 of us in number and chances of it being a fish market was there...but then there were few agressive speakers but the others were cool and i had a great participation in the process.. one needs to add quality points rather then reiterate... that is what i felt.. people were repeating, few got up with new points ...rest all normal gd goes


PI

a mentor calms your nerves down.. gives an intro abt the panel and their background..mine was a civil expert and a business elite...

ll keep it short
here

how you feeling? tell me abt yourself... asked abt my work ex in tcs.. head of tcs and all... head of DMS ... director of IIT (watch the presentation carefully..its interesting also)... second guy starts.. asks me abt my interests.. i said music .. he dug deep into music but it was my strength.. asked me abt chord progressions .. lyrics and stuff (m a guitarist).... which character of 3 idiots is similar to you... and then why science and how did you land in vellore.. wat is your father.. why not commerce (good in maths..was my ans and interest in science)....he asked straight . differentiation of log x .. answered .. integration.. answered...that was all..
chilled out

great management
Congo to the team and organising committee....

made use of food coupon..sandwich .. juice and a water bottle....


enjoyed being a part of it ,...

all the best

cheers

prince31jain Says

We asked a senior and he said last year 60% weightage was for 10th, 12th, grad, work-ex and j-met score. 15% for the GD and 25% for the PI. He said the individual weightage in that 60% part is not known.

How can IIT delhi give weightage to X n XII marks without normalising between the diferfent boards.If they r doing this, it is strange as they r also going to IIM ways it seems...

Slot: 5th march 8.00 am

Academic Profile: b.tech in ece

Work Experience: fresher

GD Topic and Experience: topic was - social networking sites, bane or boon
the topic was so general that it was kinda fish market. i was sitting at the farthest end which proved to be my biggest disadvantage for me. still chipped in few times. had to wait for more than 3 hrs for the gd which drained out all my energy

Interview Experience: there were two professors. i had written a quote in my sop so askd questions on it. they askd me abt fixed line telephony and mobile communication, about RTI and how has it empowered people, how terrorism affects economy, why are u not going for govt services and doing mba. a very short interview.seems the profs were saying good to everybody aftr one's interview! sumwhere not satisfied vid my performance. its my best call of the season, want to convert it badly:lookround:

thanks to all the seniors especialy natasha, soumya, ankur, siddharth

GD Topic - Is GD necessary for MBA admissions?

Ours was the last group of the day. Everyone was kind of exausted after sitting through 4-5 hours in the auditorium. Still I think we discussed many points. I pitched in around 4-5 times. Told that GD tests logical flow of thoughts, and also how a group can discuss different perspectives of a topic and come up with a consensus. Also I talked about how manager's job is similar as he discusses with his team before taking a decision. I also said we can have case study in place of a normal GD as the process is for MBA admission and case study is an imp part of MBA curriculum. Also I said essay writing is also an option. Overall it was a decent performance.

2 people who didn't speak much were given a chance to summarize by the panel.

Interview :
3 sirs (S1,S2,S3)

S1 - Discusse my name.
S2 - Asked some acads.
Me - Couldn't answer properly

S3 - Do you know how much agriculture contributes to the GDP?
Me - Sir it's around 15%.

S3 - Are you sure?
Me - Yes sir, it's around 13-15%.

S3 - Is it ok?
Me - No sir, seeing that india is an agrarian country and 57% of India's population is employed in agriculture, so the contribution of these people to the economy is not sufficient.

S3 - How should we improve it?
Me - Sir we can provide our farmers some technologies like high yielding variety of seeds so that the productivity increases.

S3 - Can't we shift some people from agrculture to other sectore?
Me - sir this is not an option.Rather what needs to be done is to provide some facilities to these farmers to improve their efficiency.

S3 - That's what i am asking what should be done?
Me - If we are able to provide microfinance to the farmers at low interst rates, that will solve the problems.

S3 - How do you think electricity theft can be reduced?
Me - Sir delhi govt has installed new metres in every house that has reduced the chances of the theft. But as the theft majorly takes place in industries, frequent checks at these industries might help.

S1 - Thank you
Me - Have a nice day sir.

I messed up the starting of the interview, specially the acads part. If I am not selected, It will only be due to this part. Hoping for the best

dude...agri just provides 2-3 % to gdp ...and yes...around 55-60 is involved in it....thats why they asked ' r u sure'?

Experience: Good, many of us spoke,well..... at the same time. It was almost(but not) a fish market. I don't know what happened but when one lady started speaking even before i had finished,i suddenly uttered 'excuse me, please let me complete'....and there was a pin drop silence !....(i hope the panel didn't take it as an indication of aggression, apologies to the lady).

2.Black Scholes Model
3.Why do you think stock markets in India have suffered in recent past
4.If you are the PM, how would you tackle inflation.

Coincidentally , I had Himanshu Oswal guiding me before my PI.I also met a guy named Ankur, but realized later in the day that he was in fact Ankur Gupta! Himanshu,Ankur and Hari_87 had helped me with my SOP and other queries, so 3 cheers to you guys!!

XIIth 93.3
JMET Rank : 21
Work Experience 2 years

We were the first batch for GD and PI. Presentations on IIT D DMS was great. Process was superb. Mentors are very cordial and helpful.

GD topic : Corruption is inevitable
2 mins to prepare 15 mins to talk. I showed my skills of being a good listener and only a listener(did not say a word in the gd)

PI :
3 profs (all were very nice and calm)

P: so how many languages u know (seeing that i was a south indian and done my studies in orissa)
ME: 4 hindi english telugu and oriya
P: how hindi?
ME:house is near orissa jharkhand border
then I spoke a line in hindi to conform i know that language
(he didnt seem impressed)
P: if you are writing a letter to the director of a college how will you address him ?
Me: Good Morning Sir ...(should have been respected sir .)
P : Asked about telangana or united andhra
ME: told something
P: wat about jharkhand has it improved after the partition? about maoists in jharkhand etc?
ME: told something but i dont remember what i said.
P: gsm and cdma ?
ME: told something in broken english which no one cud have understood
P: is ur college private or govt ?which is better private or govt ?
Me: I told something (again d same result : they didnt seem impressed)
P: have u read any book on management ?
Me: not yet
P: NOT YET!!! (sighed) Ok thank u and its Not "Good Morning" how u address the director of a college> Its something different check it out.
Me: (Didnt know wat to answer ) Thank U sir (and came out)

Puys Please be sure of your body language as i feel that was the reason for him to ask me about "Respected Sir". My Body language was way wrong as i was not sitting properly in the chair(it was a revolving chair) and i think i was moving it right and left with my legs as i was used to do it in my office.Ne wayz hope not to repeat it in future

Overall the professors will make you feel comfortable(But dont become very comfortable and take that chair as a sofa ) the seniors will be very helpful.

the accomodation provided was better compared to the previous year.
but delhi was very cold and the bed becomes really cold at night. They provided a blanket but if anyone is from a warmer place it would be better if you have 1 more blanket.

So All the best Puys

GD : Budget an alas or ahah !
My performance wasn't good, hardly got to speak. Made 1 or 2 points at the start and got cut short thereafter every time I tried to say something. Had many points but couldn't capitalise Morover I was seated at a corner farthest from the panel which made things more difficult.
