Season Ends.

Season Highlights and experiences in short:

XL BM- Was not really prepared. GD was bad and the Pi was all about taxes and how my school produces people who only talk. random stuff at best. I was unprepared and un-interested and it showed. Expected straight reject. Got a W/L of 79..

IIM A - decent wat , Pathetic PI. They were really interested in knowing what i knew and all that i did was let them down.. a very chilled out panel. was asked to take a toffee and leave after 15 mins. expected a reject and got one.

FMS- No WAT. Easy GD, I started it, Gave the thing a structure, moderated, plus was speaking completely against the group and was making gud points. was pretty pumped up after the GD. Extempore topic- If i were an actor.. talked in points about changing common perception of actors, extending shelf life and finally doing meaningful roles. The interview was cool. Was asked about 3 operation research applications in companies. Gave 2 along with the process. was giving the third when i was cutoff. Asked about books. gave authors that even they did not have anything to talk about ,finaaly we settled on arvind adiga's the white tiger and what it is one line. a very short interview. Expected and got a convert.

IIM L- An abstract Wat topic which the whole group might have misinterpreted. Did not start the GD but the first guy did not give the structure, so spoke second and gave an elaborate one. Loads of points with diverse viewpoints and a calming effect on the group. In my opinion one of my best GDs. 2 female profs , one of whom was trying to stress me out, however my gd performance had impressed them and it showed. I had a gud intro prepared which was slightly different. i used it to good effect here. Was asked to give a business plan in 5 mins, Had one explained it. Loads of discussion on entrepreneurship. Asked about the owner of Zomato- did not know, Nobel prize related questions-answered. Some reading related qns that i forget. Something about my national level debates. Finally they told me that our whole GD was not even clkose to the topic. Gave some random justifications about interpretation etc etc.. exteremly chilled out. I was laughing all the time. They asked me about the other calls i had. No toffee. Expected a convert and got one.

IIM C- The last one. Easy Wat with some fundae about the education sector, a field i love, gave truckloads of facts and figures and some different fundae. The interview however was hell. I walk in and somehow say good afternoon at 10 am.Proffs pounced on the faux pa and started talking about how it was noon somewhereetc etc. Sardarji in the interview panel asks me what the significance of 12 o clock is. itell him its the time when the sun is directly ovehead..Next the prof asks "tell me something about Game of Thrones",thankfully i had read that book. Another proff starts shouting at me for being careless and not stapling the documents properly. I tell him that the office boy did it. More snide remarks. Was told that Samsung copies patents, is a cheat, my project is of no use as there are loads of players in the market. had to prove something vry basic , could do it only partially. Extreme stress where i was being bombarded with multiple qns at a time and all my answers led to derisive sneers.

No toffee. Expected a reject. Was shocked after the convert .
