And we are sure there are times you’ve felt you could just break out of the whole narrating-answers-which-have-been-learnt-by-rote rut. Coaching classes and instruction books cannot coach you more with spieling out mechanized answers.

To do a better job than what you’ve been coached in, have a look at your own form. Try to make it more interesting (that does not mean you start drawing pictures and reciting poetry at the interview). Do realize that the guy at the other side of the interview table is also human, and he has to listen to the same drivel day upon day. Make things exciting for him and he too will take an interest in you automatically. Channel the interview your way instead of being subjected to the same standard questions.

Disclaimer: PG is not responsible if you take our advice too much to heart and end up making a  of yourself at the interview :mg:. We’re guessing you know where to draw lines.

Ok, so not all b-schools are this way. And I’m sure puys are smart enough to understand who’s being genuine and who’s shooting through the top of their mouths. But b-schools are notorious inflators, and anything small is projected like it’s the next big thing, and it’s not just salaries we speak about (in fact, I didn’t even bother mentioning those in this comic!). There are hordes of new b-schools – some good, some bad, some ugly. And all of them claim the same thing (which is not good for the few genuine ones). As a potential b-school student, it’s upto us not to be misled by the glorious hyperbole published in brochures and take informed decisions as to where we’re going.
