Venue:NMIMS Mumbai
NMAT score:211
GD:It was a case study where we have to resolve a dilemma of a supervisor regarding giving a recommendation letter to an employee who have violated confidential information and was fired by the supervisor for incompetence
Not much points were there to be discussed everybody in the group had more or less the same points anyways it was an energetic GD according to me with participation from everyone
PI:
2 elderly gents 1 lady who was quite friendly :)
Asked me abt my work profile,difference between young and old generation:gave a lot of gyan..
they asked me what was special abt me :told them abt my strengths described my extra curricular achievements
they asked my preference for specialiazation:I said marketing and FMCG sector hearing this the lady asked me to sell some biscuits that were there in the table to them.I gave my best effort,they were quite pleased.
The lady asked me what I wanted to achieve in life:gave a lot of gyan.......
they also asked some basic JAVA questions:
diff between C and C++
y is JAVA platform independent
founder of C
overall it was healthy interaction 😃 :)
my rating:3.5/5
Always mention your NMAT ID in all communication...
@anantn write a cover letter along with the DD...mention ur NMAT ID and name on the rear-side of the DD and also write PGDM application fee...
Guys, i opted for pgdm in that sheet they give youirght before the cd/pi happens, and i hadnt selected it during the applcation process. IT said" send a demand draft worth Rs.450 to NMIMS" but didnt specift the exact address, or what to send along with the draft....do i just send the draft alone? how will they know who sent it...or for what?
what docs do we need to take with us xcept the original marksheets?? and do we need to take a separate resume or the interview application form we mailed will be sufficient ?? plzz reply soon..

Any other special thing about you:
First, there was a Case Study analysis on whether a CHief Admin officer of a health services company is interfering too much with the doctors. your written take on this in 3 brief paras-got 10 minutes to write.
Funny thing for me, this case study was never brought up in the entire day, handwriting 's too bad probably
