tahnx
hi cooldude,
this is my last year experience there.
extempore is of one min duration there.they will give u topic related to ur background.I studied at rec kurukshetra.i got mahabharta as topic.there.i think your innovativeness and content counts as anyone can speak at strech for one minute
w/o making sense.my friend got kahani ghar ghar ki as topic.

Had FMS on 15th @ 2pm.
Background: BSc (Genetics)... final year
Class X: 90.2 %
Class XII: 87.8%
BSc I & II: 78%
Reached at 12:30 pm, spent a bit of time talking to ppl there. Registration at 1:30 pm and GD began at 2:30 pm.
Lots of Chennai-ites in the group. My GD group had 11 guys - and me, the sole female.
GD Topic: Our education system is becoming mechanised
One minute to think and 15 mins discussion time. Bell is rung in after 14 mins, to indicate that a summary should be made. The GD was quite okay - though not high in content... plenty of airtime.
I was the first in the group to be interviewed... lasted about 8 minutes.
Extempore topic: "First come, first served"
10 secs to think, a minute to speak.
Interview was all too general... 6 ppl on the panel... mostly faculty I suppose. Oh yeah, same panel for GD and Ext, PI.
>> no acads... but "why these acads"
>> a bit about background
>> a bit about career choice
>> some Qs from SOP
>> a bit about management related reading
Thought it went quite okay.
A bit about first "feel" of FMS. It's in North Delhi in DU campus, opposite Kirorimal College, next to Hindu college and Delhi School of Economics. It's not residential, so the campus itself was small. Looks like a lot of socialising happens in the corridors there. Nice classrooms... the place has an "academic" air about it.
Delhi... aah... nice city maaan! Of course, no comparison to apna Hyd 
... but Delhi's still a good place to be. Very green - and a lot less polluted than it used to be. City of HUGE distances, when compared to Hyd. Flipside: Great shopping, great crowd & lotsa yummy eye-candy
hi guys ... :(
i am down with pneumonia and high fever ... cold ... throat infection ... you name it ... i got it. i have my fms on 20th and i am afraid i am forced to cancel it. cuz the condition i am right now in, i cant even speak propely, forget abt taking part in a gd/int and travelling all the way from mumbai to delhi and back.

hey i am no medico but ask ur doctor if u can take nimesulide ,it brings fever down instatntly and for longer duration as compared to paracetamol.
boss nimesulide will shave ur liver...there was a report in the economic times last year abt how such drugs wit dangerous side effects are in the indian market and how they are prescribed by unscrupulous docs who want their part of the comm. 4 the recco.
hi guys
sorry to post so late.was stuck wid my final yr project n exams.got home today .neways,my fms exp was pretty chilled(n dats how it was fr everyone).the gd topic was-"r bskools priviedge of the elite".wid 12 guys,twas pretty chaotic n shouytin n all.extempore-"docs r mercernaries".jus tried to keep it going fr a minute.iv was more like a chat wid no acads n jus plain questions like why mba,hobbies,coll campus,placemnet at college etc etc asked in a very superficial manner.dats it.the gd was of 15 mins.iv of 8-10 mins.the atmo was relaxed n kewl.n after all the preocedures,the free coke helped

Hello all
although my FMS interview yielded nothing to write home about ... yet as a responsible (!!!!) PG member ... i ought to share it with you ppl
GD topic: Women managers have to try harder to prove their credibility
Not a lot to talk about ...... result stalemate ... everyone agreeing but nobody had anything to say abt the topic ....... i did not perform well ... but did OK
PI & Extempore
First comment on my entering was that your name is famous nowaday ..( Mihir ... aka Mihir Virani ) ... what do u feel about it ? Extempore topic given was " what is in a name ? " Despite all my apprehensions .... i was able to speak for a minute ... wow ... i thought all thw orst was over . .... i did not see what future had in store for me :(
then the bombing run began ...
1. see the ac's around here ..... how is their tonnage fixed
2. mechanical engineering in a bullock cart
3. diffrence between a diesel anmd petrol engine
4. CPM & PERT
5. Planning scheduling & timing
6. Capital markets
7. Inflation and causes
8. devoloped, developing and under-devoloped countries ...... what are they
9. blah blah blah .... mechanical mechanical mechanical .......... 😞 😞 :(
as far as i remember ... i spent half my time in Sorry sir ... and rest in I dont know sir ...... this one is gone ...
And to top it all ... i forgot the free pepsi from the coupon :(
Chalo BCLIK await
Mihir
PS: comments on PM welcomed ... koi to ummeed badhao .......
GD topic:Religion is way to escape from conflicts.
extempore:What were you doing in one year after your joining at Infy got deferred?
Q:How are marketing strategies of Infosys and wipro different?
Q:Tell me two achievements of your school and college.
Q:Why infy selects all types of engineers?
Q:Tell me name of logo (some arbit thing was shown to me)
Thanks
Overall not a good practice for IIMs.this fellas stayed true to their image to arbitrariness in intv.
Cheers

ok ...back from delhi ....so time to post my experience
there were two groups of 12 each having separate panels
i had jason,hereiam,freak,chandoo,and 2 other college friends in my panel
all of us had our pepsi before the GD itself
kya karte lukhe the sab
the best part was the seniors there ...they gave a presentation abt the college for 10 minutes and then addressed to all our doubts apprehensions
gave tips and pointers to clear the interview too
GD topic :- All prevailing problems in india are the result of all prevailing corruption
spoke few points ...agreed with few ...overall content was low ...but a nice gd
no one fought or got too aggressive
Extempore topic :- "your fav corporate leader"
for the nth time talked abt Louis V. Gerstner
talked abt his book "who says elephants cant dance"
the panel stops me after 1 minute and asks me to talk abt indian leader
i start with narayan murthi this time
then starts the interview
> diff between comp science and Information technology
> name of 7 business magzines
> pages i read in newpaper
> extra curricular activities
> courses like spirituality shud be included in MBA courses
and then thank you !!
i look from left to right ...all of them say thank you
dont know what to expect
PS:- other ppl got extempore topics like
madonna
women make better managers
anyone here with 11 am on 19th ? ...
