Does that mean if I (an OMS candidate) give say JB as the first option and PUMBA as the second option and I get (just iumagine!) JB. BUT hostel seat being an essential condition for me to study in Mumbai I decide not to join JB (as there are only 2 seats in women's hostel and I am (say) not among the first 2 women candidate in merit , therefore, I wish to join PUMBA (as I have stay options there). U mean I have really no possibility of doing so (the prospectus also seem to mean the same but I am not very clear about it) ? If not, is there any way out?

In fact if this is so, as an OMS I have practically one choice based on merit and the choice filled in the first option (after three costly visits to Mumbai and two tests: CET & MAT)!?

B Set

Hi B-set,

I have a similar problem. I am trying this year only for JB n PUMBA (dun actually wanna land in anything else). But I did get to know accomodation for PUMBA is still possible and very low cost. Stayin close to the college is also easy and cost convenient.

I m sure of goin only to a plce where acco is easy and the b-school is also worth joining. Missed Pumba last year...dun wanna risk it this year.??:

Are u sure we ave only one choice then?

i want to know when will d merit list is likely to b displayed? Roughly what can be the date?

Last year the GDPI was over on 4th June and the result (provisional merit list) was out on 9th June. (However, for OMS actual merit list which matters was the list after the MAT scores were taken (option form) from 5th to 12th July and the final merit was out on 14th July.)
This year the last GDPI is on 31st May and by that count should we expect the provisional merit list somewhere between 5th to 8th June?! Guess is yours.

hi frnds herz my exp,


gdpi date: 23 rd may
time : 9.30 am
venue : sydenham college , mumbai


had a panel of 3 , 2 elderly ppl plus 1 yung women , 1 man seemed short temprd , the othr talkd in such a manner tht no1 cud mak out wht he ws sayin. we were offrd the choice of 2 topics
1) cn india afford 2 mov from agriculture to service n industry
2) supply creates its own demand

evry1 choose the 1st one.......
i startd the gd by sayin lets c hw much each sector contributes to the gdp
servic 60% industry n manufactr 20% agri 20 %
to this 1 person immediately cut me n sd , i wud lk to correct u agri is 8%??????? (whr did he get this frm)......n the judges seemed lk agreeing with him....whn i ws about to correct anothr person startd sayin som othr pt.........inspite of thm cuttin me the panelist lookkd at 2 of us........sd maintain som discipline
i made som pts in the gd like
1) composition of gdp
2) 60% of population depends on agri so u cnt ignore it
3) last decade ind hs made soo much progress but its been only for a small section for r population, for evry1 to enjoy u ned to focus on agri
4) ind being an agrigarian country import wheat now
5) we nd project like echoupal n grameen bank for agri

othr ppl were constantly bickering bout bpos kpos............1 person sd tht since service sector provieds lot of profit we shud focus only on it, othr went to extent of sayin tht thr is no cultivable land left in india
judges stoopped 4 of us aftr 5-8 min...n askd othr to speak........( i got really scared)
aftr 5 min again we were allowd to spk.......does it hav a neg impact??
i sd 2 times..........freinds lets get the whole group involved
and once i askd a question to the grp especialy to the ppl who wernt participating

thn panelist aftr 15 mins ask a gal to summarize........n tht ws the end

frnds do u think the judges wud kno the real stats nthe fact tht i ws right tht guy ws wrong?????

then went for pi
it ws cool askd me bout
1) hw ws gd.........i sd i ws dissapoitd with my grp.........told thm my stand....thy were impressd
2) ma'am askd me bout reservation
3) acads
4) othr calls
5) extra curri
6) india superpower frm the form
went well but i am scared bout my gd........
wht u think bout this???

ya they should be knowing abt these facts..coz they r very general in nature...and good u metion the stats..u will surely get marks for it..plus in way i feel good sumone cut u off ..otherwise u would have had one to one argument with him..and which would have given u negative marks.

Does that mean if I (an OMS candidate) give say JB as the first option and PUMBA as the second option and I get (just iumagine!) JB. BUT hostel seat being an essential condition for me to study in Mumbai I decide not to join JB (as there are only 2 seats in women's hostel and I am (say) not among the first 2 women candidate in merit , therefore, I wish to join PUMBA (as I have stay options there).

ya it is true...if u get any one of the top five..u won't be chosen for next set of admission...and i guess because of this the 2nd round selection..the cut off may come low too...

See boozii...
As The_One rightly said..
nothing can be predicted...

See...many times we've heard in talks/discusssions...
Man...he was good but "THAT was missing..??:??:??:

Now its just that "THAT" u gotto show the PI Panel...which may vary person to person..
panel to panel...it might be ones attitude which a panel wud love or the other panel might get irritated of...:wow::wow:

Now thats its over..jus hope for the best...nothing much can be done..
even i feel sometimes that i cud answer it this way rather than that n all...
but have confidence in urself...n let time be the best judge!!

Hey Raj,

Good to see that u are very keen to get in Sydenham. Just to inform u that this year the allottment procedure is very different from what it used to be till last year. Do read the detailed procedure in the Prospectus n also consult with some experienced guys. If in the first round, you land up in any one of ur TOP 5 OPTIONS, u will not be eligible for the next round irrespective of whether u confirm ur seat or not.

I forgot to add one question that was asked to me. Here it is:

P2: Tell me something about environment.
Me: Sir, what do you want to know?
P2: Any issues... global warming.
Me: A recent UN report warned that we have only 8 years left to save the earth from climate changes that may cause disasters. If by 2015 we don't stop the emissions, esp. the carbon dioxide by 50 to 80%, the melting of ice from Greenland and Atlantic regions will increase the water levels. Already now, 2 metres of land gets submerged under water every 5 years.

They didn't ask me that question. :satisfie:

I had given many good points with examples and also with quite a few fact-figures. My point it... acc. to some people, it's better to speak till the GD time is over even if you are the only one who's speaking.

So Dear Haresh
Congratulations that you fared your interview with flying colours. You deserved what you get. Your efforts paid you rich dividends. May everywhere you go in the interview the same happens and 60% of the candidates appearing for the interview suffer from diarrhoea that morning to lessen the competition for you. And you would be the only one to get their share of time in the GD to speak.
Keep it up.

PI:

There were two panelist in PI: P1 ~ 50, P2 ~ 60

So, in all, GD and PI were the best ever I had in my life. I doubt whether my stopping speaking after 7-8 mins of GD was good or not. I knew that if I would stop, the GD will stop. But, I thought it's better to stop the GD in stead of continue speaking alone as nobody else was speaking at that time.

@all... Was it a good move? Or should I have continued the GD for 4-5 mins more?

I forgot to add one question that was asked to me. Here it is:

My GD/PI was at Somiya 8:00 Sunday 20th May 07
Topic were
1. Can India become Economic Superpower?
2. Genetic Engg. for Crop does more harm that profit something like this.
Everyone choose to spoke on first topic.
2 min for jot down points
13 min for discussion(14 people were there in discussion)
1 min for summery for each of one.
Discussion started nicely, one lady started & defined what is economic superpower. Then 2nd one I spoke regarding + points of India regarding economy & -ve points of Economy.
Two points tried to convert into debate & created lots of chaos then I tried to enter 3 to 4 times in GD. Over all it was nice. Only 4 to 5 people were speaking.
PI was too cool.
As, I was having 4 years of work ex. so they asked questions on work exp.
They don't ask why MBA, tell me something about yourself nothing.
Directly they went to work ex.
Asked about my profile in companies for which i had worked.

As, I am working in branding so asked Why not MICA
Answered


Then asked How to control population
answered

asked about Kargil war as I had mentioned in paper regarding prominent event in last decade in India
told them


Asked regarding difference between Ecommerence & E business
Not aware


Why people are making website now a days?
told them
How I handle quires in my department regarding brands
told them


That's it.

Here is my experience:

Center: Commerce Faculty, Shivaji University, Kolhapur

GD:

The panel told us to select one topic.

GD Topic : (1) *I don't remember :neutral:* (2) Quota in private sector

There were 12 people scheduled to come in my group but only 5 turned up :nervous:. After the panel said that these two are the topics, everybody started saying that we want to discuss the second topic without discussing among ourselves :neutral:.

The panel instructed that first we need to speak on the topic for a minute and then we should start the discussion and then one of us should give a conclusion.

After that the GD started and I was almost the only person speaking . But I did stop and give others chance whenever others tried to speak, but unfortunately only two ladies speak and that too only 3-4 lines. I continued to speak for almost next 4-5 mins. Then I stopped, because I thought I had spoken enough. But, even after that the others didn't speak at all.

But then there prevailed silence :robot:. And the panel intervened and said that we need to maintain continuity. There shouldn't be gap in between :neutral:.

I again started speaking but nobody except me spoke after that at all (except that 2 of them could speak a single sentence each which they could when I gave them a chance when they tried to speak when I was speaking). After 7-8 minutes, I stopped and the GD ended. (I could have continued but I thought it would be bad if I continue speaking as I had already spoken enough for about 5-6 minutes :satisfie:). I stopped everytime anybody tried to speak. But unfortunately that didn't happen quite often. Except one girl, the remaining three people were not very comfortable with English.

After that, the panel told us to summerise. I told others if any of others want to conclude (as I had already got enough of air-time :satisfie:) but nobody came forward. And I also concluded the topic. In all, I talked for around 6 mins out of 8 mins :neutral:


PI:

There were two panelist in PI: P1 ~ 50, P2 ~ 60

Me: Good afternoon, Sirs.
P1&P2;: Good afternoon. Please sit.
Me: Thank you, sir.
P1: So, tell me about yourself.
Me:
P1: So, you want to start a business?
Me: Yes sir, it is my long-term goal.

Then both of them asked me about how exactly I would start it, where will I get finance from and after how many years, etc. They kinda' grilled me here :neutral:. But, I was prepared for all this

P1: That's good that you are determined and all that, but you mentioned that taking a lot of time in taking important decisions is your weakness? What exactly you mean?
Me:
P1: Any incident which made you feel so?
Me:
P1: Any other incidents?
Me:
P2: So, why do you think it's your weakness? How does it affect you?
Me: It wastes my time and occupies my mind for time-being and blah and blah and blah
P1: So, you can't be a good manager as you can't take decision quickly, right?
Me: No, sir. I have been working on it and have succeeded to a certain extent.
P1: What are you doing to improve over it?
Me:
P1: How did you implement it when you had to make decisions quickly?
Me:
P1: (looking at the answer-sheet) So, you've got 99.98 in MAT. What is MAT?
Me: Sir, it's Management Aptituted Test just like CET conducted by AIMA. And blah, blah...
P1: So, this is your percentile or percentage or score? (I'd forgot to write the word 'percentile')
Me: It's percentile, sir. And my score is 800/800 :satisfie:
P2: Why is this exam taken? Why did you take this exam? :sarcasm:
Me: :rockedov: Sir, this is a national level entrance exam whose score can be submitted to many colleges for admission into management courses. As an OMS candidate, I can submit this score to DTE and the higher of MAT and CET score will be considered for admission. This year the equivalent score would be 143 (courtesy: PG :))
P1: You have good percentage in 10th and 12th. Why not the same in college?
Me: (I was prepared for this question)
P1: You are BCA. Why not MCA?
Me: MCA is more of repetition of BCA and blah, blah...
P2: Who told you so?
Me: I have a couple of friends in MCA in DDU, Nadiad. They told me. Even I have checked the syllabus and found the same.
P1: But why MBA?
Me:
P1: So you are working? Where are you working and what's your designation?
Me:
P1: So, you write diary? You write in English or Gujarati?
Me: I have been writing diary for last 4 years. I have been writing it in English. For the rist 2-3 months when I started, I used to write in Gujarati
P2: Even I am also Gujarati. I am from Baroda.
Me: Okay
P2: I am impressed with your determination. Though you still have a chance to improve in your speech, your English is quite good. I am impressed with your English.
Me: Thank you, sir. I have worked hard on it.
P2: I have not seen many Gujarati students from vernacular background with as good English as yours. What have you done to improve over it?
Me:
P1: When did you realize that you need to work on your English?
Me: In first semester of my college when I saw that some of my class-mates used to talk in English and I couldn't. In the starting of my first year, I realized it and started working on it.
P1: So, it's over. Thank you. You may leave.
Me: Thank you sir.
P2: (when I was just about to leave the chair) Keep your this spirit forever.
Me: Surely. Thank you sir



So, in all, GD and PI were the best ever I had in my life. I doubt whether my stopping speaking after 7-8 mins of GD was good or not. I knew that if I would stop, the GD will stop. But, I thought it's better to stop the GD in stead of continue speaking alone as nobody else was speaking at that time.

@all... Was it a good move? Or should I have continued the GD for 4-5 mins more?

hey HARESH...

ab to aapka JBIMS almost pakka....
best of luck.

Hi, for the most significant event that affected India, I had written about the communications revolution heralded as a result of opening the country to foreign players, Unless you are absolutely sure of convincing the panel about what you have written, i think it is safe to write about something like liberalisation, since it has been beaten to death, the interviewers might just skip that question and move to something more important like "What in your opinion should be done to make India a super power" where you can showcase your ideas, creative thinking, probably quote statistics to bolster your answer and end up impressing(hopefully) the panel :), there is also a question which asks you: "what makes u think that you will be a sucessful manager", Instead of writing your experiences in detail here you could just mention that you have handled a situation which required leadership/managerial qualities, tempt the panel to ask you about it, and then elaborate in detail & earn ur brownie points, I did tht n it worked for me!

Hi,

One more Q

Do you Invest in Stock?

ans > some time.....

One thing i learn from my PI is that show them that u know every thing but don't show them that you know in detail.

Like i told them that whenever i get time i prefer to watch CNBC news channel
but don't tell them that u watch CNBC every day,
if u do so they my ask in detail and if u don't know u i think it may affect ur rating.

sorry for double post.....

Hi,

One more Q

Do you Invest in Stock?

ans > some time.....

One thing i learn from my PI is that show them that u know every thing but don't show them that you know in detail.

Like i told them that whenever i get time i prefer to watch CNBC news channel
but don't tell them that u watch CNBC every day,
if u do so they my ask in detail and if u don't know u i think it may affect ur rating.

I have my gd tom

hey people,

My GD/PI was conducted at Welingkars today, the topics given were:
1) Value based Politics.
2) Religion shouldn't be mixed with Politics.

Since this was a CET GD, no points for guessing which one was selected!
There were only 7 people in my group, the group started with defining religion, politics etc. some of the points tht were brought up were Babri Masjid, recent Bomb blasts, Mayawati, Islamic fundamentalism, made the mistake of stating that they should not be mixed so didn't give any points against it, a good one could have been about how the Church and Monarchy went hand in hand during the medieval times in Europe, also the crusades, everyone got an opportunity to speak, even those from vernacular backgrounds, since I had already hogged a lot of talk time, didn't think it very wise to cut people short even when they kept repeating points! All in all was a very thanda GD, the topic had a lot of potential but wasn't exploited.

The PI was very chilled out as well, I was asked about work, about the SEZ policy of the govt., Why not do an MBA abroad, Why did Mayawati win the elections :wow Also asked to justify my answers that I had written in the questionnaire.

Wasn't gr8 but wasn't bad either, btw the staff at Welingkars was very helpful and polite, they immediately put me to ease and yeah the food hamper was good too :satisfie:

Here is my experience:

Center: Commerce Faculty, Shivaji University, Kolhapur

GD:

The panel told us to select one topic.

GD Topic : (1) *I don't remember :neutral:* (2) Quota in private sector

There were 12 people scheduled to come in my group but only 5 turned up :nervous:. After the panel said that these two are the topics, everybody started saying that we want to discuss the second topic without discussing among ourselves :neutral:.

The panel instructed that first we need to speak on the topic for a minute and then we should start the discussion and then one of us should give a conclusion.

After that the GD started and I was almost the only person speaking . But I did stop and give others chance whenever others tried to speak, but unfortunately only two ladies speak and that too only 3-4 lines. I continued to speak for almost next 4-5 mins. Then I stopped, because I thought I had spoken enough. But, even after that the others didn't speak at all.

But then there prevailed silence :robot:. And the panel intervened and said that we need to maintain continuity. There shouldn't be gap in between :neutral:.

I again started speaking but nobody except me spoke after that at all (except that 2 of them could speak a single sentence each which they could when I gave them a chance when they tried to speak when I was speaking). After 7-8 minutes, I stopped and the GD ended. (I could have continued but I thought it would be bad if I continue speaking as I had already spoken enough for about 5-6 minutes :satisfie:). I stopped everytime anybody tried to speak. But unfortunately that didn't happen quite often. Except one girl, the remaining three people were not very comfortable with English.

After that, the panel told us to summerise. I told others if any of others want to conclude (as I had already got enough of air-time :satisfie:) but nobody came forward. And I also concluded the topic. In all, I talked for around 6 mins out of 8 mins :neutral:


PI:

There were two panelist in PI: P1 ~ 50, P2 ~ 60

Me: Good afternoon, Sirs.
P1&P2;: Good afternoon. Please sit.
Me: Thank you, sir.
P1: So, tell me about yourself.
Me:
P1: So, you want to start a business?
Me: Yes sir, it is my long-term goal.

Then both of them asked me about how exactly I would start it, where will I get finance from and after how many years, etc. They kinda' grilled me here :neutral:. But, I was prepared for all this

P1: That's good that you are determined and all that, but you mentioned that taking a lot of time in taking important decisions is your weakness? What exactly you mean?
Me:
P1: Any incident which made you feel so?
Me:
P1: Any other incidents?
Me:
P2: So, why do you think it's your weakness? How does it affect you?
Me: It wastes my time and occupies my mind for time-being and blah and blah and blah
P1: So, you can't be a good manager as you can't take decision quickly, right?
Me: No, sir. I have been working on it and have succeeded to a certain extent.
P1: What are you doing to improve over it?
Me:
P1: How did you implement it when you had to make decisions quickly?
Me:
P1: (looking at the answer-sheet) So, you've got 99.98 in MAT. What is MAT?
Me: Sir, it's Management Aptituted Test just like CET conducted by AIMA. And blah, blah...
P1: So, this is your percentile or percentage or score? (I'd forgot to write the word 'percentile')
Me: It's percentile, sir. And my score is 800/800 :satisfie:
P2: Why is this exam taken? Why did you take this exam? :sarcasm:
Me: :rockedov: Sir, this is a national level entrance exam whose score can be submitted to many colleges for admission into management courses. As an OMS candidate, I can submit this score to DTE and the higher of MAT and CET score will be considered for admission. This year the equivalent score would be 143 (courtesy: PG :))
P1: You have good percentage in 10th and 12th. Why not the same in college?
Me: (I was prepared for this question)
P1: You are BCA. Why not MCA?
Me: MCA is more of repetition of BCA and blah, blah...
P2: Who told you so?
Me: I have a couple of friends in MCA in DDU, Nadiad. They told me. Even I have checked the syllabus and found the same.
P1: But why MBA?
Me:
P1: So you are working? Where are you working and what's your designation?
Me:
P1: So, you write diary? You write in English or Gujarati?
Me: I have been writing diary for last 4 years. I have been writing it in English. For the rist 2-3 months when I started, I used to write in Gujarati
P2: Even I am also Gujarati. I am from Baroda.
Me: Okay
P2: I am impressed with your determination. Though you still have a chance to improve in your speech, your English is quite good. I am impressed with your English.
Me: Thank you, sir. I have worked hard on it.
P2: I have not seen many Gujarati students from vernacular background with as good English as yours. What have you done to improve over it?
Me:
P1: When did you realize that you need to work on your English?
Me: In first semester of my college when I saw that some of my class-mates used to talk in English and I couldn't. In the starting of my first year, I realized it and started working on it.
P1: So, it's over. Thank you. You may leave.
Me: Thank you sir.
P2: (when I was just about to leave the chair) Keep your this spirit forever.
Me: Surely. Thank you sir



So, in all, GD and PI were the best ever I had in my life. I doubt whether my stopping speaking after 7-8 mins of GD was good or not. I knew that if I would stop, the GD will stop. But, I thought it's better to stop the GD in stead of continue speaking alone as nobody else was speaking at that time.

@all... Was it a good move? Or should I have continued the GD for 4-5 mins more?

nah...considering no one was willing to speak, u did a good job of continuing the discussion whilst giving others a chance to speak..it was their fault they didnt grab the opportunity to speak!! so chill and guess u r gonna get rocking marks based on the quality of ur comments...

Here is my experience:

@all... Was it a good move? Or should I have continued the GD for 4-5 mins more?

thnks Poorva!!

I had my GDPI at Singhad college of management in Pune on 14th ,the first day.

Hi all puys!!

I want to knw that after CET GDPI do we hav to take sign or some sought of stamp on our callletter/halticket so that in future we hav a proof that we hav attended the GDPI session.

Coz i didnt got any of these but had only signed in attendence sheet when i attended GDPI session.

Yes shilpi, you have to get a stamp on the backside of your call letter showing that you attended the GD & PI on that specific day!
What was your center for GD PI???

hi guys..i had my gd today at JB..my gd topics were:
1) is business a war?
2) people,police, politics: whose the culprit.

the interview ws really grilling..it lasted for 45mins!!!!!!

i had my gd/pi today at K.J Somaiya at 2.30

They had to combine two batches together so we were 14 ppl in all ...

the topics were 1) y arent we world player in industry like we are in software

2)MNC's : r they a devil in disguise


Everyone except one guy opted for the second topic.

GD was good personally spoke 6-7 times put in a few good points.

Overall GD was very thanda with a few moments of chaos, we got stuck around two or three point so the panelists decided to end it and the each one was asked to summarise.

PI was very chilled out

Where do youy study?
- H.R. College BMS

Specialisation?
- Finance and international finance

Who teaches you finance?
- Sapna Mallya

hmmm... i know her ... so tell me one tool of finance
- ratios

who does it help?
- all the stakeholders ;ike financers, suppliers, etc etc

What is working capital and what are the 2 types?
- whole lot of crap

How will mnc's help in retail?
- whole lot of crap

then other questions like what does ur dad do, y mba, which according to u is the best coll in the country for MBA ( said ISB), so then y this.

That guy also said that it was pretty good .... so me very happy

but he also said that the MMS programme is outdated n not to do it ...

Hi all puys!!

Time: 9.00 - 10.00
Venue: JB
Date: 23/05/07

GD topics wer :
1) Should there be freedom for the artists?? (a controversy on fire)
2) Should there be private universities??

since v wer only 5 in nos. the time alloted to us was 15 min and ther wer 3 panelists and they asked us to choose one of the topic n v decided to speak on the second one

i came up around 4 - 5 times wid points mentioning both adv n disadv
Adv:
quality of the education wud be better, employment opportunities, superior n experinced faculty, international exposure and updated knowledge since in mumbai university the computer subject in commerce is still based on foxpro n c programming wherein today v use c++ n linux as a networking software.
Disadv:
Profit motive, imparting education wud b secondary, poor people cannot afford, poses a threat to Govt universities.

At the end they asked us whether private universities is good or bad??
to wch i answerd tht today india being a developing country where in majority of the population is still below the poverty line, govt universities are in a position to impart atleast minimum education to students wherin this wont b the case if it is private as the poor cannot afford it.

then came the PI, PI was good. 2 panelists: male n a female.

M) Tel me abt ur work profile:
A) blah blah blah
M) Family background??
A) blah blah blah
M) CM of Uttaranchal?
A) said i dont remember
M) Vp of India
A) Bhairav singh shekawat (was not sure, but came out rite)
F) tel me how can u evade corruption (since i had mentioned this on the form)
A) compulsary installation of cctv's n making the punishment so offensive that the impact remains in the minds of all the people so tht they giv a 2nd thgt bfore indulging into corruptional activities.
n then they asked to leave and so was my PI........

Hi Poorwa,

Though i m not a senior or an expert, i wud still say ur pi was excellent. ur answers sound convincing. Lack of GK does keep a bad impression but ur back up answer to dat was very convincing. U can easily make it to 14 marks at least. Hope u get more than that.

All the best ....!

Thanks a lot :)
hoping for the best now!

Hi people...
finally i am through with my GD PI.... its such a relief!

I was at sydenham in the 2.30-3.15 batch...
The GD was pretty decent.... There were 12 people in my group
The two topics that we were supposed to select from were,
1. Placements cannot be the sole indicator of the quality of a management institute!
2. There are no stupid ideas! ??:

9 people voted for the first topics and the other 3, for the second!
So obviously the first topic was selected!
The discussion was pretty decent, but everybody was dying to speak so it did become a fish market in between and the moderator had to ring the bell a few times to quiet us down!
2 people didnt speak at all! The rest contributed pretty much!
Talked about the quality of education, the faculty, the values imbibed, et al!

Then we were taken to the office area for PI
I was the first in to be interviewed by Panel B

There were two interviewers A man(M) of about 60+ age and a lady(L) of around 35...

they asked me to tell them about myself
I : blah blah blah
L : Your sister has done her MBA from which institute?? So why arent you pursuing it from the same institute?
I : I did get a call from that institute! But so far I have done everything like my sister, same school, same college, same classes so i wanted to do it differently this time!
(They seemed pretty happy about the answer)
L : So what's your CET score?
I : 116 & 97.85 percentile!
L : Very good!
L : How was your GD?
I : It was good mam.. We had the topic blah blah blah
L : (quizzed me for some time about the GD Topic and my views on it!)
then M started asking
what do you think is the most significant event in the last 10 years
I : blah blah blah
M : Which do you think is the main problem that India is facing today!
I : Spoke about population and how we can turn it into an asset by imparting education blah blah blah
M : What is balance of payments
I : Answered
M : What is balance of trade (I didnt know)
M : What is a crossed cheque?
I : blah blah blah
M : So if i give u a crossed cheque right now, will you receive the payment immediately?
I : blah blah
Then the lady again jumped in with 4-5 of GK question which i didnt get! :(
L : You don't have GK as one of the sections in CET??
I : No Mam!
L : So GK isnt exactly your strength area??
I : No mam, but i am working on it!
L : So do you read newspapers?
I : Mam i'll be honest... I have only started reading them recently.. I didnt read papers religiously before!
That's it
The only bad thing was the GK thing which i didnt get :(

seniors and experts please guide what to expect of this interview!
Thanks in advance! :)

The two topics that we were supposed to select from were,
1. Placements cannot be the sole indicator of the quality of a management institute!
2. There are no stupid ideas! ??:

9 people voted for the first topics and the other 3, for the second!
So obviously the first topic was selected!
The discussion was pretty decent, but everybody was dying to speak so it did become a fish market in between and the moderator had to ring the bell a few times to quiet us down!
2 people didnt speak at all! The rest contributed pretty much!
Talked about the quality of education, the faculty, the values imbibed, et al!

Then we were taken to the office area for PI
I was the first in to be interviewed by Panel B

There were two interviewers A man(M) of about 60+ age and a lady(L) of around 35...

they asked me to tell them about myself
I : blah blah blah
L : Your sister has done her MBA from which institute?? So why arent you pursuing it from the same institute?
I : I did get a call from that institute! But so far I have done everything like my sister, same school, same college, same classes so i wanted to do it differently this time!
(They seemed pretty happy about the answer)
L : So what's your CET score?
I : 116 & 97.85 percentile!
L : Very good!
L : How was your GD?
I : It was good mam.. We had the topic blah blah blah
L : (quizzed me for some time about the GD Topic and my views on it!)
then M started asking
what do you think is the most significant event in the last 10 years
I : blah blah blah
M : Which do you think is the main problem that India is facing today!
I : Spoke about population and how we can turn it into an asset by imparting education blah blah blah
M : What is balance of payments
I : Answered
M : What is balance of trade (I didnt know)
M : What is a crossed cheque?
I : blah blah blah
M : So if i give u a crossed cheque right now, will you receive the payment immediately?
I : blah blah
Then the lady again jumped in with 4-5 of GK question which i didnt get! :(
L : You don't have GK as one of the sections in CET??
I : No Mam!
L : So GK isnt exactly your strength area??
I : No mam, but i am working on it!
L : So do you read newspapers?
I : Mam i'll be honest... I have only started reading them recently.. I didnt read papers religiously before!
That's it
The only bad thing was the GK thing which i didnt get :(

seniors and experts please guide what to expect of this interview!
Thanks in advance!

:) hi friends finished my GD-PI yesterday at MIT SCOOL OF MANAGENENT,PUNE.I
The smiling face upperside suggests it was an excellent experience.
i was very much impressed with the management done by DTE.there wasnt any from the colllege in panel.all were from mumbai and the panel changes every third day.
everyone involved was very co operative and even the staff like peon had something to asvise u like fight in the gd,speak and speak.




ok now the process begins.we gathered in a room to fill up the bio-data form.then
were taken to the gd room.they wud tell u on what criteria u wud be assessed.
our topics were:
1.)the age of information
2.)India-china :friendship or enmity.

everyone selected the second one.only 6 guys were present.
i spoke and contributed valid points and was satisfied with my performance.those who dont speak the panel members asked them to speak sth in hindi or marathi.
after gd,pi started.in a big hall three panels were there.
i caught up with 2 ladies and was cursing my luck but as it started i had to chenge my attitude.they were so cooperative.

questions were:

how was ur experience in city pf pune.
which games u play.
what is the best thing u wud like to change in this world?
what do u like most in this globalised world?
what r ur future plans and where do u see urself after 5 years.
which field u wud choose for specialization and why...?
why do u think management is yr career.


all i learnt in this process is that dont overstress urself the level of competition is low what u shud do is put ur thoughts logically and be short.
the candidates were not dressed properly coming in jeans and t-shirt that shows how
casual ur approach is.we shud accomplish all which r in our hand.must put on tie ,shoes........they r very helpful in nature and if they r not u cant change them.u have a lot of time to speak in gd.if u r a little gud u wud get gud marks as there r very few who satisfy them.
SO ALL THE BEST TO REST OF THE CANDIDATES.
i m sure u wud benefit from my experience.
I was quiet satisfied with my performance and hope a gud career ahead.

hry mukesh,wats ur cet score and which college you are targetting?just for curiosity

hello ppl !!!

i want to know that, how much marks to expect from a casual PI ?.....:neutral:
my exp. of PI is on 27th page..... i met with 2 60+ men panalist yesterday...

do reply experts, pls...
thank you.

See boozii...
As The_One rightly said..
nothing can be predicted...

See...many times we've heard in talks/discusssions...
Man...he was good but "THAT was missing..??:??:??:

Now its just that "THAT" u gotto show the PI Panel...which may vary person to person..
panel to panel...it might be ones attitude which a panel wud love or the other panel might get irritated of...:wow::wow:

Now thats its over..jus hope for the best...nothing much can be done..
even i feel sometimes that i cud answer it this way rather than that n all...
but have confidence in urself...n let time be the best judge!!

ATB
Sure u'll do good..
Anmol

@boozi..why do u want our perspective..ultimately whatever panel decides whohi sikander..i had attended lot of gdpi..in some i thot i did brilliantly but was not selected..panelists may smile b4u but after u leave will give whatever marks he thinks is right acc to him..
this is for the ppl who have fear in gd of not speaking..speak speak speak as others also keep on speaking crap..most of the ppl in gds speak crap...very few add quality pts..

vikas_m13 Says

I am working presently in a company.Do they need a experience certificate or Appointment letter. How do I get an experience certificate if i am stilll working

Hi,

Most of the companies do provide you with the employment certificate mentioning that u r still working wid that company. In case you do not get it, then you will hv to show your appointment letter as well as your latest salary slip, you can also carry your confirmation letter if you have it. But then, the decision of alloting the work-ex marks will rest upon the centre and the faculty over there.

Wish you all the Best!!!!
