Hi Varun....
I will chalk out how the GD/PI process progressed last year...
The process used to start with a GD followed by the interview.....the extempore is a part of the interview and it could be any single topic under the sun....so be prepared to speak!!!!
None of the rounds is an extempore round and selection is done only after every candidate goes through the entire process

Pls feel free to Shoot any further queries abt the GD/PI/Extempore process..
All the Best !
I hope the process for MBA(FT) as well as MBS (MS) is same i.e. the candidate has to go thru only one process and depending on the marks and interest he'll b assigned to the program
Correct me if i m wrong.....
Thnx a lot for the reply

Hey varun,
The extempore is a mandatory thing and every candidate will be asked to go through it...
but as mentioned earlier, topics could vary from anything like "Grass is greener on the other side" to "Quadratic Equation"!!!!
As far as the process is concerned, even though it is conducted at the same place, a candidate is required to go through separate processes for MBA and MBA-MS....Hope it clears any confusion
Thnx a lot for the reply

Hi Varun
Extempore is not a matter of randomness :)
Everyone gets a chance to talk for a minute atleast
Congratulations to all the shortlisted junta!!

Will try to get a list of extempore topics from the batchmates out here.
:2gunfire:Shoot back with queries!
One minute extempores are unique to the selection process at FMS. Each candidate, before his interview starts, is required to speak on a topic given by the interview panelists for one minute (a stop watch is used to keep track of time).
The following is a list of extempore topics that were given to our seniors (Bach of 200
:
Beyond Seven Seas
Futures and Options
Running Nose
Shallow and Deep
All that glitters is not gold
Fate
Radius
Bald
Sourav Ganguly - The politician
Calling Bell
If I had a lamborghini
Noble profession
Spring
Sycophancy creaps in everywhere
India Shining
I love Jazz Music
From deep inside my heart
Casablanca
Setting Sun
Hi-Fi
Satyam, Shivam and Sundaram
Business at the rate of thought
Spring
Design
Spirituality
Rabindra Nath Tagore
The topic of ur extempore may be random or may be linked to ur profile.
Examples:
A guy named 'Rahul' cud get the topic as 'The Wall'; If u stay silent during the GD, ur topic may be 'Silence is golden'; Even ur employers' names cud be GD topics ( like Satyam-Shivam-Sundaram)
A lot depends on ur on-the-feet thinking to do well in extempores.
Just for the record:
Cat. MBA-MS Calls Seats
GEN 201 28
SC 43 6
ST 21 3
CW ? 2
PH 7 1

Are the topics absolutely arbit. Like in the above list is the topic like Marwari given to a marwari student or anybody. Now suppose if i am given a topic about which i have no idea about. can i think out of the box and start speaking something absolutely unaligned to what they thought. Will it be appreciated?? Knowing DCE(DU) Professors i dont think that FMS profs will be different and such things might lead to instant rejection. what can be done in such a situation. Are things like interest in sports appreciated!!

Hey siddhesh...topics are generally not arbit...
The topic "marwari" was given to a marwari student....
The topics usually tend to have some relation to u or is a consequence of what u have spoken till then in the interview....
as far as thinking out of the box is concerned, it is definitely appreciated in any situation. However, we must remember that what we speak does make sense and that it should be able to convey ur thoughts to the panel

General : 28
SC:6
ST:3
CW:2
PH:1
There are 4 more seats which are filled up by Foreign Nationals.
Thus the total number of seats is 44.
