Sir.. i believe this (CAT related questions thread) isn't the right thread to post this sub thread...as there is another main thread running exclusively for XAT,SNAP,FMS etc... so i request u to move this sub thread to that main thread...thank u...!

Oops. yup, it should be in the other area as you mentioned. Thanks for pointing out.
Can the Moderators please do the needful?

Please post only your XLRI PI experiences and let the discussions continue in the other thread:

XLRI 2008-2010 - GD/PI Queries & Discussion

This would make reading through easier and will serve the purpose better. Hope puys agree.

Hey Puys... My interview is tomorrow... and I'll surely be posting my experience tomorrow only.

Pls dont groan, writing this to get subscribed to the thread.

Hi puys,
Seems i am the 1st one to post my experience. I had my intvw for BM in mumbai on 28th feb @ 4pm. It was a 30 min intvw. Extremely gruelling. The 3 panelists were full time faculty of XLRI as seen from the prospectus. They make you feel comfortable. But the stream of questions never stops. The listing of Qs will follow....If you carry a folder of marksheets n certi, they go through it. No questions about essay, though it was there with each of them. also, do not carry call letters of any other colleges in ur folder, you will face Qs on comparison of dat college wid XLRI (1 guy did dat).
So now to the questions.
1) You had fun in GN Khalsa(My JC)?
2) Are you of the very serious types?
3) You earn x lakhs in TCS. Why give up sucha lucrative job and pay 5 lakhs fees in XLRI? How do u plan to pay it if u get thru?
4) What happ in dharavi day b4 yest?
5) What was the reason of the fire?
6) Who was MMRDA chairman recently sacked?
7) Which cities has he developed?
Is there a builder/ politician nexus?
9) Was his sacking fair?
10) What happened in mumbai on 26th july 2005?
11) Why did it happen?
12) how is dharavi being developed?
13) how is mithi being developed?
14) Should der be any coordination between these 2 projects?
15) What do u do in TCS?
16) What is google?
17) Who are the owners of google?
1 What is difference between google and other open source products?
19) Where does google get revenue to pay its employees, inspite of giving free access to products?
20) What is google ad sense?
21) What is page rank?
22) How does it work? What is google crawler?
23) What is inflation?
24) What does RBI do to cut inflation?
25) How does it help?

And there were a few more i cannot recollect...if i do...will post dem...Best of luck to u all!!

And Finally: Wait list no 30

The best way is... take a Central line or Harbour Line train to CST... its a five min walk from there - max... ppl will be able to dorect u

or

Take a western line train to Churchgate and then take a cab to the college - will be around 30 bucks max i feel

yaar inhone to sab kuch hi pooch liya .... 😃

Gosh these XL professors seem to be really different.....we MBA aspiranst have this habit of directly jumping to the editorial page never even bothering to read page 2 and page 3 where all these city related stuffs are printed........seems like from now on wards need to read the entire newspaper including the relatively insignificant city news.....

@ asking directions to the center...please refrain from posting this on the thread meant for discussing the PI experience ...use PM instead or better post such queries on the thread meant for XLRI GDPI queries.....its a solemn request..........

@ patkini mate..please post ur profile and XAT %tile as well!!!

If you are taking a train on western line, get down @ marine lines and ask any1 for directions to Xaviers college or ask for metro cinema...its just 5 mins walking from marine lines!

hey patkini

u told us the questions.
were u able to answer all those.
were u able to give answers for all this, dont know do they expect us to have so much general n technical knowledge? y not managerial knowledge haan?

I answered most of the questions....about 80-90% of dem....n also most of thq Qs just were linked to the answers i was giving...like wen dey asked who was "some development council" chairman who was sacked? I said T.Chandrashekhar...next Q....Which city did he help develop?Also, wen the Q abt dharavi development came up.....i said drainage cant take load...so came MITHI....so it just goes on n on! So, also the page rank algorithm, the google crawler, ad sense, etc

hey patkini

yes they wanted the view of mithi and dharavi development as that of a manager. That reminds me, they also asked, "Why are people opposing redevelopment?"

Guys, I see one interview experience and umpteen non-experience posts out here :huh:

Kindly try to post interviews only. Any requests/queries/updates (for e.g. the request for the profile) pm the concerned person. Then the concerned person can update the post accordingly.

On a parallel front, if you have any queries for us, post on the queries thread. The seniors will be watching both the threads :thumbsup:
