March 20, 1:00 PM, Delhi
WAT TOPIC- "Imagination is more important than knowledge".
I wrote about 0.5+1+0.5 pages. It was a nice topic to write on with many examples so did fairly well, not satisfied though as it could have been better.
PI - 3 Gentlemen who always smile when your answer is wrong or they think you are too stupid to study management. In my case they were smiling most of the time, now you can gauge my performance πŸ˜ƒ
(I had to catch a bus at 4:30 PM, so requested them to conduct it early. They accepted my request and I was called in at 4:15 PM).
I was in haste, sat down for interview with little or no confidence and totally blank (thankfully I remembered what my name was). I made irritating sound of ummm after every word because I was BLANK!
Q1: why do you want to leave early.
Me: Told
Q2: Tell us about yourself
Me: My name is x y (pause for 5 sec) then continued with all those things which even I didn't know about myself. Mentioned I have recently developed interest in mythology (I wish I didn't say that as with mythology they thought I know mewar and marwar and maharana pratap, which were the questions they asked later).
Q3: tell us something about your state, followed by questions on my city, why is it called so, etc.
Q4: what did you do after graduation (no work ex), followed by questions about my tution centre.
Q5: Favourite subject (I thought they asked favourite in CAT exam, so answered abruptly) then completed his question, he meant in graduation degree! (wow! I earned 5-6 more questions on a subject which I have completely forgotten)
Me: Tried to convince them but finally ended the parade of answers by saying "you asked favourite subject, I don't remember much of it as I studied it in my 6th semester but yes it was my favourite". (what was that!)
Q6: why poor score in 12th grade
Me: Tried explaining, intervened!
Q7: Then comes marwar, mewar, chittor, rana pratap, some more such questions.
Me: Gave horrible answers. (Imagine you asking me my name and I telling you that I am preparing for CAT, how would you feel?)
Q8: (all looked as if they wanted to tell me, Girl! This is your interview, please give us one reason to choose you). Okay tell me exactly what you are interested in?
Me: a quick reply economics, business, current affairs, GK (and some more synonyms of GK).
Q9: Tell me any 5 women business leaders of Indian companies.
Me: (I can name you 10 right now, don't know what happened to me there).
1. Chanda Kochhar (I admire and know everything about her)- HDFC Bank (with their smile I understood my mistake and corrected to icici)
gave two more names here after mentioning I may be wrong with combinations.
Q10: All bankers, you know anyone else in corporate sector.
Me: NO SIR (What a shame I follow many women leaders and keep an update on their work)
Q11: Finally they didn't say a word, just looked at each other
Me: At least now I acted smart by realizing they don't want to hear me any more and left the room with a dumb face and a question to myself "How could I be so bad".
I came out, looked at my watch, 4:25 it was! Jesus! so may questions in

That was my experience.
Lessons learnt: Don't panic. You may not know answers to some questions but there will always be an opportunity to show your strengths, even I had when I mentioned biz and eco are my interests but failed to earn points here also. Most important learning is that not every day is my day, I am really not this bad! Its just I was stressed and panicked and my attention was on catching the bus at 4:30.

I had my WATPI on 20 March in Delhi at 9 AM.

WAT topic- "Human rights really exist"
The time allotted was sufficient to write down a 600 words essay.

Interviewing panel 3 consisted of 3 male cheerful and smiling interviewers (which in my case really helped)...
Q1. Tell us something about urself followed by 2 ques from the answer itself.
Q2. Why B. Tech?
Q3. Favourite subjects and then about 6 questions from those subjects.
Q4. Hobbies and interests and then cross questioning as per replies.
Q5. Current affairs known..... and then Crimea case.
Q6. Cryogenic engines
Q7. Something about my state and locality.
Q8. Industries in Haryana (as I am from Haryana) and then some personalities.
This was all and thus my interview lasted for about 15 minutes...
