Shall PM you, man

hi guys!!!
completed my GD/PI today in IIT Madras
My profile
10th:93%,12th:88%,B.E:70%
2 yrs exp in TCS, CAT:92.26%,TN general

first i had my PI, panel consisted of four members
Ques: tell me abt urself, sell yourself in two mins time
Ans: spoke abt myself
quest2:why mba?
Ans: told some points
quest3:tell me abt ur weakness
ans: blah blah
ques:short term goal long term goal
ans: told that i wish to start a company after some years
quest:why u need to do mba if u r starting a company, ambani didnt do mba
Ans: told that formal edu will gear with me knowledge and exposure
ques: tell me abt ur engg project
ans: i couldnt remember anything and told something and they were asking some more ques abt my project and i couldnt answer anything properly!! guys if u r from engg bkround pls study something abt ur final year proj!! its very imp

after that most of the questions were abt my IT work exp, answered well
Overall a good PI exp apart from the engg proj ques.

GD topic was easy, its abt whether we should give equal weightage to sports in academics
a group of 8 ppl discussed, it went well, no fish market
two girls dominated a lot but other ppl managed to pitch in some points, me too gave some valid thoughts

It was a well organised process overall,
Special thanks to 1st years students Vinoth Balu and Reynolds.
They interacted a lot with us and cleared our doubts.
Hope to convert!!!!
All the best guys!!!!

I guess i was one of those gals :/
am sorry man! but i thought there were NO new Valid points coming at all! and some of the points were dying into the background.
Please DO LET ME KNOW, if i did some mistake, cos i DO NOT have any experience ,and your inputs might help me not repeat the same!

Guys, for all those who are concerned regarding the
4 copies of application form, :banghead:
I have my interview tomo and just mailed the admission committee of NITT. they replied telling It is the SAME form that we submitted to them- which means, log into your profiles and take printouts of the complete profile that you submitted. :clap:

As to doubts about photograph not needed- I DONT KNOW!
but i assume, while registering, we might have had an option of not uploading and instead taking print outs and sticking a photo and posting it to them.. So it COULD mean that it is not necessary to stick photos again for such ppl who would have followed that process. I dont think its a crime if your application has a photograph in it.
Chill out! and All the best.

Cheers ,

Priya
