Hey..those who are done with their WAT/PI round for the new IIMs..would you please share your experience? Thank you :)

Interview duration - 5-7 mins(for others too)
WAT-PI in Short -> 1)Ask me why I am not wearing specs in the photo. 2) Backup plan in case MBA fails 3) 5-6 Current Affairs. 4) My opinion on Net neutrality 4) Question on my hometown(Agra) 5) Best place to get Petha in Agra and location of Shop 😛
Date: 15-02-2016 Afternoon slot Wat: Is an increase in the life expectancy burdening us with the problem of caring for the elderly ? PI: Pretty much grilled everyone. Asked what other calls do you have ? You should be able to justify your choice of selection. Lots of why MBA grilling. One panel was specifically into current affairs. My panel also asked a lot on CA. Asked absurd questions out of the blue: what is feudalism, communism, Marxism, socialism? My interview lasted for 20min and lots of cross questioning. It is a bit difficult to convince them. All in the all a fantastic experience. ATB guys. Hope this helps :)

The mail says to get attested copies. Is self attestion enough ?

New IIMs Interview
Experience
19th Feb 2016, Forenoon Session - Mumbai (IHM - Dadar)
GEM, CAT OA: 98.02%ile
WAT Topic: (30 mins - 300 words max)
The prevalent VIP Culture in India is feudal and makes a mockery of democratic equality. Should one move to judiciary to curb this VIP Culture? Share your views.
I opened the essay with a real life experience. Mentioned how VIP culture indirectly promotes corruption, restated the statement of it making mockery of democratic equality, suggested use of internet technology to minimise human interaction (minimum govt. Maximum governance) and concluded with requirement of robust mandates required in the law.
PI:
3 panelists
P1: Lady in 30s (looked young)
P2: Man in late 40s (quite aggressive)
P3: Man in 30s (looked young)
P2: Tell us about your work experience at TCE. (I am a Civil Engineer with work-ex in core)
(simultaneously P3 was reading my essay & P1 with a pen noting down something)
Told in detail.
P2: Did you get an opportunity to convince client?
Told. (I indirectly got the opportunity)
P2: Suppose we are board of directors and we order you that out of the 3 options do not suggest the best one for client but suggest the one where we(company) will earn something. (Checking ethics I guess)
Answered with an excellent line, it was impromptu!
P3: (finished reading the essay) you have mentioned internet in your essay. What is your take on current net neutrality issue?
I was for net neutrality. Told the view points.
P3: Now the TRAI have ruled in the favour of net neutrality. Give some arguments against or arguments by Fb free basics/telecom companies.
I was very well prepared with numbers & statistics so answered it confidently.
P1: Why MBA?
Talked about my venture & entrepreneurship, mistakes made and my aspirations.
They did not look convinced - as expected 😉
P2: Do you know Qutub Minar?
I said YES & No. Not structurally.
P2: What all factors are taken into consideration while building a qutub minar?
Went in deep technical with Civil jargons. (I had realised that none of them know a thing about civil engineering... hahaha..)
P1: Again why MBA? Do you know how much it costs? What is interest rate on educational loan? How much time will it take to repay?
Answered again.
And it was over. They offered me dry fruits. I think it lasted for 20 mins. Approx.
PS: Taxis refuse to drive from Dadar station to the location. I had to walk for 10 minutes approx.
When the colleges say that for Top 25%ile - Placement was xx.xx, TOp 50%ile - Placement was this... Do they mean it according to the rank of students or according to the placements students got ?
Those who have attended WAT and PI, will self attested copies be sufficient?
