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!
