Seems like everyone's keeping their cards close to their chest.

Any other special thing about u:Few certificated here and there
GI-1
Number of People present:6(3 IM,2marketing and 1 Ops)
Time:45 mins or so
Questions:
The GI started with a Gd on "Is the recession over?"
Was pretty smooth . Not many relavent points to be honest. Mostly ppl were speaking for the heck of it.
Then everyone was questioned on their work, hobbies and interests.
Don't lie over here.
Forget the panel even the participants can make out whose lying.
There is a good chance that u will be cross questioned.
There was 1 Ops person in my group who is working in LNT in the nuclear reactor design and stuff. He was asked at length about his work, design and stuff. Was very interesting and you could make out that he's actually done that and was not bullshitting.
1 person from the group was made to whistle a song since he said his hobby is whistling:)
Some ppl spoke about their NGO work, quite impressive actually.
GI-2Number of People present:6
Time:40 mins
Questions:Based on that psycho sheet
Brief Snapshot of Discussion:Everyone was questiones at length about couple of points from that psycho sheet.
I don't think it will be fare for me to enlist those questions but all i can say is don't give rehearsed answers and be honest.
Other Details:
Verdict:
I reckon i did a good job in GI1.
GI2 i was a bit too frank and impulsive which may work against me.
For example one of the panel asked me what's yr dream. Before she finished i said that i wanted top own a yachet. Really donno where did that come from.
MISC.
Pretty well organised process and seniors were quite helpful.
The panel also was very friendly.
ATB rest of the fellows.
Verdict:Selected(was 4th on the W/L)
P.S - Seems like I can work towards getting my yacht....Whoooohoooooo
Forgot to mention.

GI-1
Number of People present: 6
Time: 40 min
Questions: introduce yourself, why mba, why IM
Brief Snapshot of Discussion:
far from being a GI, it was indeed 6 PI's of 7-8 min conducted in sequence from left to right. We had only one chance of speaking about the above mentioned questions other than some one off question about any particular hobby. The answers need to be precise and to the point.
Other Details:
I could not make it through to the 2nd round, since I was not able to give a convincing answer to why mba in IM ( they grilled me on my non IT background a lot, and I was unable to explain that mba in IM is not just cashing in on the experience but something that was really planned as per my objectives )
MISC
We also had to give a psychometric test as mentioned above (but its not evaluated until the 2nd round I guess, since some people had to give it after their first round.)
Overall, the arrangements and everything was done very well, but I was in for a major disappointment since I had prepared so much for SP Jain. Its really bad that the main thing which went against me from pursuing mba in IM was my non IT background. Also they might have taken CAT %tile on account as well, since I had scored low.
Best of luck to everyone else and congrats to those who made through on the fateful day.
