Could any one tell me by what time afternun session at 2pm will be overe? venue is in bangalore.
This is for the freshers.
My interview was very short, of hardly 15mins as far as I can remember. My CAT details, Quants-89.2%ile, Verbal 93.4%ile and OA-89.86%ile. Acads, 10th-88.33%, +2-91.3%, Graduation(B.tech, ECE)-7.2 CGPA. Work ex-0 months 😃 , fresher.
The panel was of 3 members, all must be in their late 40's. One guy didn't talk at all. He was just observing me.
Q1. Why do you want to do an MBA?
A. Sir, until a couple of years ago, I didn't give much thought to my career. I took MPC in +1 and +2 because my friends were taking it and I took ECE for graduation because everybody is doing it. Only in my 2nd year of graduation I thought of my next step towards my career and an introspection into myself and my co-curricular and extra curricular activities told me that I'm more of a manager and less of an engineer. I always loved to supervise, organize, co-ordinate and conduct events from as far as I can remember. Even in my college I was one of the coordinators for our national tech fest for the last two years. So I wanted to hone my skills and become a good manager.
Q2. What do you do in your free time?
A. I play games on my PC a lot and I read fiction.
Q3. Do you play Counter Strike?
A. Yes, sir. That is the game we play the most.
Q4. What is the newest version of temple run?
A. Sir, temple run 2.
Q5. Do you follow news?
A. Yes sir. I have a news reader app on my PC and I go through it almost daily.
Q6. Did you see the union budget?
A. Yes sir.
Q7. Tell me two things you liked in the budget.
A. Sir I didn't like anything in the union budget. Infact I can tell you two things I didn't like.
Q8. Why didn't you like it?
A. Sir, the taxes have gone up on almost everything we need to buy. People are already struggling due to inflation and recession. This is only going to make their life difficult.
Q9. What do you know about the new taxation?
A. Sir, I don't know much about the mechanism and working of tax, but I know that from now on if I want to buy a mobile or a watch which is above Rs.2000, I have to pay 20% extra due to the increased tax. I am not a taxpayer but still I'm affected, so I can imagine what a tax payer must feel like.
Q10. Why don't you get a couple of years of work-ex before coming here?
A. (I was quite free with them and laughing with them by now because of the questions I was asked. Even the panel was quite friendly and made me feel at ease...) Sir, I got placed in ***** (Can't say the company name on a public forum guys!!). But if I gor for work, the first 6 months will be spent in training and for the next 6 months I'll be put on bench. I know this from my seniors who are also working there. If I decide to continue for another year, I might get one project and I hae to start preparing for CAT inbetween. Ofcourse it will help me but I will acquire more technical knowledge than managerial skills which I don't think is much important for me. So, I am coming for an MBA.
Then it was, Ok Gautam, nice speaking to you. Hope you make it to the IIMs.
@kirrujann.3188
In CAT form i filled the percentages(excluding the optional subject) but while considering all the subjects there is slight variance in Class X and XII percentages..Does this info needs to be communicated to individual iims or informing only iim trichy(co-ordinating IIM) will suffice?
Can you tell me the batch size of IIM-Raipur?
@IIMRaipur I have call from old IIMs and I have also been shorlisted for the New IIMs ,I have filled in the personal data form .. Do I need to fill form separately for IIM Raipur PGP.
I dint get any email notification regarding filling the form neither could find anything on the site
@IIMRaipur
The Graduation percentage that i have mentioned in my CAT application form slightly varies with the percentage i have mentioned in my new IIM application form. The reason being, my university donot consider the marks of 2 subjects while awarding degree. I have mentioned the same in remarks column. In addition, should i send a mail communication to all the new IIMs ?
