GD:
Topic: Is India's Foreign policy pro-US?
Number of Ppl present : 10, the group was a mix of ppl from PGDISEM & PGDIM
Time:2 minutes to think and scribble on the notepad provided, 16 mins to discuss & 2 mins to conclude/summarize.
Brief Snapshot of Discussion: The topic was a bit unexpected for everyone & hence the discussion was not so good with almost everyone repeating the same points. I could sneak in to speak 2-3 times. 2 guys dint speak a word at all throughout and the panelists asked them to say something in the last 2 mins. I along with 2 others also pitched in to conclude.
Other Salient Details: Mentioned above.
PI for PGDIM/PGDISEM/PGDITM: PGDISEM
Panel Members Intro: 1 Lady, 3 Male Profs (all of them in the early forties)
Questions:
Q: Briefly & quickly introduce yourself?
A: Spoke about college, extra-curriculars, project on hydrogen use in Internal Combustion Engines (ICE) & major project, then about work-ex.
Q: What are the pros n cons of using hydrogen in automobiles?
A: Said
Q: Explain in brief the working of ICE?
A: Said
Q: What safety aspects do you find missing at the place you work?

Q: What was the engine HP?
A: Said
Q: Why inclination towards environment?
A: Gave some funda on involvement in Earth day etc.
Q: Then why industrial safety?
A: blah blah...
The interviews was very short of about 7-8 mins.
The campus is amazingly beautiful and this landscaping is something not present in any part of Mumbai.
Guys, the registration starts exactly at 8, so be there on time. I would like to thank the seniors who were very helpful & humble esp Varun (Vision IIM-ACL), ketaki, puneet, Danishi, Amit n others. But yes, the process is time consuming everywhere, from registration to verification to GD. I waited for 7 hours for my interview turn and hence a short interview I guess. They show you andaz apna apna in the waiting period, a quiz is conducted, highlights of the program along with placement details are shown in PPT. Interaction is conducted with the Team IMPACT & PLACECOM of 2012 batch as well as the VPs of the student council. Each & every doubt from mess to acads to sex ratio to placements & profiles is cleared.
1 copy of all the docs are required. Don't worry if you don't have any document in original as you will be made to sign an acknowledgement . Photocopies can be done free of cost but your process may get delayed and you may be pushed to the last no in your panel.
For those, having return tickets after 6 pm but before 10 pm, seniors would take care of it, so need not worry on this front either.
Overall, a very good experience. Hope I get a chance to join NITIE.
P.S. : As Varun has requested, please don't ask anything on this thread, you may use PM & Thank (if the post was worth it) button.

Asked me the use of mechanisms and some questions. answered all these questions well, talked about the reasons of failure, justified with good grade in last three sems .
i think they tested if you were observant or not and if you can apply engineering to life and how you understood those concepts. they also wanted to see if you are activity active :)
feel good about the interview but keeping my fingers crossed till the results are out.

GD Topic: Is faith in god important for well-being.
Number of Ppl present :10 ;4 in the panel
2 mins to think ;16mins for discussion ; 2 mins for conclusion
Brief Snapshot of Discussion:
All the groups got abstract topics like the one mentioned.The discussions before us were all fish market as told by the seniors , so we were requested to carry out the discussion properly.
I started the GD but was suddenly cut by 2 ppl at the very start who also wanted to initiate the discussion.It became a fish market for the first few minutes with ppl trying to pitch in with all sorts of ideas , but gradually turned to a more subtle talk with evry1 appreciating points of others nd allowing others to speak.
the points discussed were related to islam,christianity , jews , merciless killings and karma in the name of religion.ppl also differentiated b/w believers,atheists ,agnostics at the start.But extreme form of faith- terrorism stole the show (ws discussd fr arnd 10 mins)
A guy ended the discussion with a point that its our karma that we are sitting here fr the GD and its on god wht he decides. personally i think it ws hilarious bt the panel seemed to hv loved the point.:sneaky:

GD:
Topic: Is India's Foreign policy pro-US?
Number of Ppl present : 10
Time: 2minutes (think and note), 16 minutes (discuss), 2 minutes(summarize).
Brief Snapshot of Discussion: Initially I felt everyone was waiting for any other people to start the discussion. A topic which was unknown to almost all. So no one really provide anything significant. It was a normal discussion type with no fish-market kind of situation. 2 persons were absolutely silent. Every other people chipped in for 3-4 times I guess but at the ending stage points were getting repeated & some were off the topic also. Finally the co-ordinators asked few people individually to summarize.

don't know why these guys are doing like that, for someone they are taking 25 to 30 minutes and for some only 3 to 5 minutes. I think these guys have already made their mind, who to take and who to not.........

Mine was on 12-Mar-2012 ( first day first show )
call for PGDIM, General category
Profile :
10th : 87 %
12th : 89 %
B.Tech Mechanical 6.5 / 10 :oops:
Work-ex : L&T; Power Core manufacturing experience of 32 months
CAT :
97.32 %ile both sections 93+ (never even dreamt of getting call at such score )
Experience :
Firstly, thanks a lot Team Impact !! expertly co-ordinated the whole thing....
and they were very helpful, answering any and all queries....
If i get thru, i'll be an Impacter next year :)
When i first arrived, they checked all call letters at a desk, those who didnt have one were given their call letters on the spot.
Then we were sent to a large audi to wait. here the Impacters showed us a few presentations on Nitie while candidates were serially called for doc verification.
Important : They are asking for 2 copies of ALL documents including cat scorecard and charc certificate. If you dont have, they'll take copies there for you, but still now that you know, go prepared so as to not give the Impacters too much trouble
Also take two photos (mugshots of yourself) with you...
After the doc verification ( which was quite smooth ) i was immediately in line for the GD was one of the first few GD batches...
GD Topic : Is profit the only Business of Business ?
2 mins to think, 15 min gd, 2 mins summary
4 panelists
10 candidates
discussion veered off towards CSR....was threatening to become fishmarket but people controlled themselves and everyone spoke well...
Tip : you get only 2 mins to think on the topic b4 start of gd so think hard and think while discussing as well so as to cver all points and give the discussion a logical flow. Also each of us was given 50 secs to summarise, so be a good listener !!!
Then after gd, there was a long waiting period for me since i was far behind in the serial order for PI. They gave a 35 rupee lunch at one of the hostels which was good.
TIP: get an idea of how long you'll have to wait and take lunch accordingly...
while waiting they gave us a quiz on the projector...it was fun...
Finally i was called for PI :
Panel of 4, 3 gentlemen and a lady
all 4 pretty kool people
started with tell me abt yourself
when i got to the part of where i work, something interesting happened...
i said "L&T;" and their faces lit up and they said in unison "L&T;??"
TIP: so im assuming they have a special thing towards core experience...
so anyone from such fields, bewarned you might be favoured but your expected to know everything about where you work and your industry....
Then they probed deeper into what i do, whats my profile, what i am aiming for in terms of a career path, what kind of work i want to do later, basically trying to judge whether ive a clear career plan in mind...
then suddenly one of them popped a question "how will a nitie mba help in this?"
then i explained that because ive seen managers in action in my organisation i know that need a broader perspective and greater knowledge than simply technical learning, and this i can get thru their PGDIM course....they seemed convinced....i guess this was their way of asking why MBA ?
Then they probed deeper into the details of my work and what i do, how i contribute to the company etc etc...
after abt 10-15 mins they seemed satisfied, said thank you and i left....
Interesting : no questions on technical acads or final year project which was a pleasant surprise
only work-ex based interview, so again people with core-industry work-ex, prepare accordingly....
Update : CONVERTED !! In First List !! PGDIM Gen, and i'm definitely joining !!

hav to pick a slip from the lot for a topic.
GD PI TOPIC:Exposing scams:Is it media's resposnsibility?
two min to jot down ur thots,sixteen to discuss and two to summarize.
topic has enough content to discuss but ppl started blurting out anything and evrething abt media.puking went on n on.
kinda of a fish market with guys making tangential points with regards to the topic with some passion.more in the lines of om puri and kiran bedi at anna hazare's fast.
funny points:china regulates media..which keeps them in control?...one guy saidthis exposing happens only in india..arushi murder case was apparently a scam! one guy went on judge india pak semi final was fixed and that scam hasbeen exposed thanks to media!
made out a lot of entries but um not sure panel cold make out anything in that din.
got frustrated and negated the guys when they were summarizing in the end.saying i dont agree to the summary which says we all agree that itis media resposibility.went on to add it is a byproduct of its job that is good for the any nation but it is media's job only as much as it is everones job.for debunking and exposing or monitoring,there is a system in place.we cant expect a private body to take up resposibility jus coz the system is ineffiecient.and also that is a business for them with their own underlying agendas..jeez the shocked expresion from all made me stop there.
PI:
was in andaz apna apna mood..before entering the room,
yes fir se andaz apna apna was the popular choice.
team impact really has an impact on ur state of mind.constantly trying to enagage you in sumthing or the other to preclude you from feeling tired from the long drawn out process
i wishh there were more chairs tho in the syndicates so that evryone cud sit.
Pi questions:
p1
BRief intro:
blah blah went on and on and on
whats fcc?told
what are its main products?told
what is its feed? told
whats dhds? and its products?told sumthung
p1 says um done
P2whats ur favourite quote??
was caught off guard coz i was expecting a core interview..switching was difficult..
quoted jordan "Talent wins games,teamwork wins championships"
was asked to explain..did..he pressed further asking my why isnt talent enough...quoted instances..team india or ipl teams that lost which had stalwarts.football seems convinced in the end when i said one talented guy cant pull off everything evrytimeon his own.
who inspires you? was abt to say stephen hawking but thot of sticking to sports n said kumble and dhoni.
he was surprised.
went on to explain that ppl who raise the bar inspire me the most.these two are epitomes of that for one they are not gifted and two they are effective and successful despite their shortcomings.
over to P3
biggest achievemnt?told
whats good and bad abt ur company?told
why do u want to quit?told
Done.
the panel seemed happy to have me arnd.which is quite rare.lo
n btw the nitie directior showed up at the audi n spoke for a couple of mins.he went to comfort aspirants that it will be not a stress interview.which was quite a gesture on his part.
team impact is easily one of the best admissions cordinating team in india.their energy levels are astonishing!
the college felt lik a temple with so many steps!!sirf ek moorthy ki kami hain.but jokes apart...
felt really awful when i saw a handicap trying to reach the top floor...the campus may be gods own campus n all...but it is kind of a hell for handicaps and lazy bums.
a few pointers in the end
1 no need to carry ur c v.the panel wont even ask for ur file.ur form is the bible.expects question based on whateva is mentioned in there.
2 panel:-)is seated atleast five feet away in the pi rooms.meaning u wont be grilled to draw and explain stuff
3extra curricular certis are not checked.so chill on that front
4 once called for gdpi,itis a level playing field.as in there is no further weightage for ur scores. .lik cat percentile or tenth or twelfth percentages.
5 weightage for gd and pi is 50 50
and weightage for ur past academic performance is gauged based on ur knowledge u display or rather demonstrate in the pi
attleat thats what VISIOAN IIMACL was saying.
okie done with editing.good luck guys.
P.S:do not skip breakfast unless u want to be one of the few grumpy faces at nitie.
Since my interview is on 16 march can nitie adcom team show live streaming of general budget instead of a movie

Interview Date : 14th March,2012
GD:
Topic: Are bad actions with good intentions justified?
Number of Ppl present : 4 panel members (3 male, 1 female), 10 candidates
Time: 2mins to think + 15 mins to discuss + 2 mins to conclude
Brief Snapshot of Discussion:
One guy was told to pick up 1 chit in which the topic was written and then the discussion begun.. I was the 3rd one to enter in and made good number of entries right through.. Gave quite a few eg... Chipped in with point of taking affected parties into consideration and looking at it from diff people's perspective.. Terrorist's actions are bad and bad intentions but not quite the case if u look at it from their POV.. Examples ranged from WW-II, Hiroshima Nagasaki, Mahabharata, father child and many more during the discussion.. It was a general topic and not a lot of scope for counter views.. After abt 8-9 mins it became very repetitive and people just kept discussing same stuff in different ways like bigger picture, holistic view, pragmatism.. All in all a decent GD.. Not a fish market.. happened twice or thrice when more than 1 was talking. but good thing was no1 was too aggressive and let others speak...
At stroke of 17th min, the panel said now conclude.. I started the conclusion and gave a decent one.. Tried to include all aspects discussed and gave a consensus which the group reached.. Good thing is everyone spoke and made decent contribution...

GD:
Topic: Commercialization of Health Care System is boon or bane ????
Number of Ppl present: Approx 12
Time: 10 a.m
Brief Snapshot of Discussion:
It was not a fish market. People behaved suavely and other than some stray moments, decorum was maintained. 4 people were judging us.
Other Salient Details: Two minutes to think, 15 min to communicate verbally and 2 min 2 summarize.
PI for PGDIM
Panel Members Intro: 4 proffs. were there.
Questions:
1. Describe Final Year Project..
Then next 2 to 3 min on that.. What I did.. Future scope of Project..
2. They told me that they have graduated long time back and are not dat much aware about Electronics and would ask me on electrical instead.
Got screwed royally in this section.. This 5- 6 min was well and truly forgettable 4 me.. Starting from Transformer, 3-phase, and a lot more other things that went completely ballistic. :sneaky::sneaky:
3. Then Why MBA, why NITIE, why PGDIM ??.. Again they dont seem 2 be that much convinced. A proff. with a nice french cut almost killed me here with his varied crosses. A 3 - 4 min section.
4. Then someone remembered that I am from telecom industry and asked 2 explain about 2 G Scam..
Started and got interrupted. They said 2 skip complete political and econpmics aspect of d scam ( wat d hell !!!! ) and said that what is the impact of the scam on society... Well.. kinda blabbered.
Verdict:
My GD was extremely good and PI was close 2 pathetic. Dont know what 2 say.. I expect a ding.. Best case scenario perhaps is being waitlisted beyond 100.
Any Other Things 2 mention:
1. NITIE's campus is heavenly in the evening. Explored a hidden way of going 2 Vihar lake as well.:grin:
2. Met Varun.. He along with the entire team was doing very good job.
I would like to put forward my hear-felt thanks 2 them.
3. For anyone going 2 stay in MDP hostel, do buy All-out/Gdnite etc. as in night it is full of mosquitoes and u will have no option but 2 stay awake scratching your head in despair.
