Date - April 4, 2014
Venue - Mumbai, Hotel Orchid (Damn nice place, but don't expect free meals)
Slot - Forenoon
My background - BE (Mechanical) with 21 months work-ex as a Quality Engineer in John Deere, Pune.
Round 1 - Documents' verification. (I carried attested copies).
Round 2 - WAT - To protect wild life, an idea to relocate traditional forest dwellers out of wild sanctuaries is being considered. With it or against it?
*absolutely baffled*
Round 3 - Interview (After about 3 hours of waiting and plenty of anxiety-induced bio-breaks):
3 panelists - P1, P2, P3 (Taking turns at interviewing me)
P1-
I see you are a Quality Engineer. Do you know the Quality characteristics?What is FMEA? (And some more related questions)What are Run charts?What are control charts?What are different types of control charts and where do you use which?When do you say a process is out of control?How is a specification limit different from a control limit?What is a process capability ratio? Difference between Cp and Cpk?OK I am done.
P2-
You studied Operations Research during BE. What do you know about it?What were the different topics covered?What is Linear Programming?How do you frame and interpret a Linear Programming problem (LPP)?Is LPP a variable based method or integer based? What are the differences?Why are there inequalities in the constraints of an LPP?Do you know about the history of Linear programming? Who devised it?OK I am done.
P3-
Questions related to John Deere, its products, size, market share, competitors, challenges, Deere Enterprise.Questions related to Automobile sector in India, top players, etc.OK I am done.
That's it! 10 minutes is all it lasted, while it ran for about 30 mins on average for others. I really don't know what to make of it.
Notable omissions from the interview-
Tell me about yourself (:D) Why MBA? Current affairs. History & Civics. Hobbies, other interests. Strengths & Weaknesses.
My penny of advice - Your interview questions totally depend on what kind of a panel you get. There is a myriad of topics that you can be quizzed upon. A few "I don't knows" really don't harm.
Good luck!
This is for those who are still confused about the attestation on the certificates. I called up the admissions office. They said if you are getting your originals, then self attested xerox copies are fine for submission. It is just for verification.
I'm guessing you need a gazetted officer's sign only if, for some reason, you cannot take your originals to the interview.
Hope that clears it.
Anyone 29th april in chennai ??
Date - April 8, 2014
Venue - Kolkata, Hotel Taj Bengal
Slot - Afternoon
My background - BE (Metallurgical and Materials) with 14 months work-ex as a Manager - Sales & Mktng (resigned)
WAT - unusual (generic) topic - "Bullying is a serious concern in our schools and abroad. Yet it id not taken seriously enough. What are your views on it?"
PI - 3 panelists (P1, P2 , P3)
Unfortunately out of the 4 panels, my panel was the one where most of the grilling was taking place.
(Within the 5 minutes from your previous candidate leaving, be prepared that they have gone through your Interview Form thoroughly.)
Just as I sat down, P2 - What is m-Seal?
How does it work?
Does it work on plastic, steel etc?
Have you used/seen it ever? (No)
Then, some you-either-know-it-or-you-don't metallurgy questions?
Probably they were convinced I had no interest in metallurgy at all!
P1/P3 - You've written "you want to identify the entrepreneur in you". Very high-sounding. Have you written it by yourself or borrowed it from somewhere?
What will you do if you don't get through?
Then blah-blah-blah about my future choices/course of action. Basically no current affairs or hobbies/interests.
I lost track of time. But probably went on for about 20 mins. No optimism at all regarding any chances of a convert.
