Thanks aj.kumar for posting ur GD-PI-Extempore experience..
Was just wondering where did the topic Grey come
from in the extempore... :neutral:
Do you think it was,in some way or the other, mentioned in ur SOP/the form that u filled or nething else for that matter...am just trying to figure out how are they forming the topics for the extempore.. :smile:
Anyways, If you think there cud've been some trigger pt for the extempore topic, pls mention that too..have edited my earlier post 2 include that too..

Puys, Please share your GD/PI experiences...

a great initiative taken by aj.kumar :)

just to add few pointers before rest of u go and attend ur process:

1. read up about service sectors, find ur preference and u shud know that particular sector fairly well.

2. there always will be 2-3 of my classmates or seniors, they are there to help u, guide u, so dont hesitate to ask, be it anything.

3. extempore topics may/may not be triggered by ur CV/SOP/form. it can be whim and fancy of the panel to come up with any topic. let ur creativity flow, try and put forth as many different points as u can, dont repeat anything that u ve already said.

All the best!!!

hi ..
guess a bit late in posting my experience...

my profile :
work ex: 31 months in automobile industry
btech (mech) from NITW (76%)
12th :86
10th :89


date :9th
time: 11 pm
were made to write sop and the sector which we would like to join after the course

panel :3 ppl (p1,p2,p3)
one of us was asked to pick up a chit for the gd topic
gd topic: job reservations is an eyewash

there were 9 ppl in the group and were told to discuss for 10 min. We made a hell of it, shouting, screaming and all.
the moderator stopped the GD after 4 min. p2 told us that he will make it sure that none of us do well:(

pi: i was the last person to go for the pi in our group of 9

p2: you are tired
me: No sir I am not tired
p2: you are tired
me: (what the..#$#%)no sir I am not tired infact i am xcited
p2: what was ur role in the GD
me: was trying to give valid points and made several attempts to calm down and channelise the gd
p2: we saw u were trying a lot to control them ..u were failing but u were trying to cum again and again..
your extempore topic is "never say die" and ur time starts now... (clicked the clock kept on his table.. )
me: started with some bullshit crap..but soon brought in some good points. mentioned that winners follow the approach ..took examples of saurav ganguly and tata motors..
after the extempore p1 nad p3 asked some crap (easy)questions ..like growth rate of automobile industry etc which i answered easily..
overall they were extremely freindly and were smiling all the time. Guess that the attitude was same with all the candidates..
some other extempore topics in my group were:
1. noise pollution (related to our gd performance)
2. baisakhi (that candidate was a punjabi)
3 ranking system (that candidate was overall topper in each bloddy xams he ever apperared for !!)
4. rich culture in south india (from a chennaite)

the extempore toopics were basically related to what u speak in the first few minutes of ur pi..very unlike last year when most of the topics were name, hobby, profile based.


Hi all,
I want to share my GDPI experience of FMS which I converted apart from IIFT Delhi (Will write about it later).This post
Might be helpful for all the people who are planning to write FMS 2008.
FMS Delhi GD PI experience
Date: 8th March, 2007
Background: 18 months work experience.2004 pass out

BE Computer Science and Engineering
X: 77.6%
XII: 66.6%
BE: 63.9%
Venue: Faculty of Management Studies Delhi, North Campus
Reporting time: 9:30am
Reached FMS at 9am.Its in Kamala Nagar opposite Kirodi Mal College.
There were around 25 people in our slot. We were directed to 1st floor.2 students from
FMS came and gave a quick video presentation about college. Presentation was really good and inspiring
Depicting the way of life at FMS. They asked us to shoot questions about anything related to FMS.
Few students queried about Hostel facilities et al.I asked about GD at FMS.What are they looking for in
Such as short Span of 13 minutes. As I have read and heard that most of the GDs at FMS are fish market.
So I was little scared. Thought that by asking this question I will be able to make sure that my fellow GD mates
Wont create a fish market scenarioJ. The student told that Panel members are very experienced and stalwarts
In there Field and would be able to judge us fairly enough within a span of 13 minutes.
They wished best of luck to all of us by Saying We want most of you to make it to FMS.

We were given a form to fill with very few details. All the forms were collected after sometime and they called us one by one
To get our 10th mark sheet and graduation mark sheet verified. We were then directed to a room where GD was about to take place.
There were 2 panel members. Professor A.S Narang and one lady.Narang sir started the proceeding by congratulating us for clearing the written
Part. He told that they wont appreciate a fish market scenario and asked anyone to come and pick a chit in which some number was written
Corresponding to that number they had a topic in a file. There were 9 people in my GD and the topic for GD was Should India invest more in
Primary education or in Higher education. I think my strategy paid off and our GD was very cool. Nearly all spoke with very few interruptions.
I started off second and spoke why do we need primary education or higher education at all. Correlated it with Abraham Maslows hierarchy needs.
Said something like primary education is needed for all as thats the point where we start to understand about our self society and the world around
us and thats the basic need. Higher education need comes at level 5 for self actualization. As more than 70 percent of Indian population is engaged in agricultural
activities primary education is there basic need However Spending in higher education will indirectly help them as well. It is a catch 22 situation as the number for
Primary education is higher as compared to the number for higher education and Higher education per individual is expensive as compared to primary education per individual. Also quoted that most people who do higher studies become entrepreneur during various stages of there career providing employment to many who just have primary education. To provide food and employment to a nation of more than a billion people we need to take the help of technology and we need people who have done higher studies. Someone spoke about the skills that people get when primary education is imparted to them. The ability to reason et all. Sorry guys
Cannot recall much what others saidL. So selfish.
After GD we were asked to wait outside the room. Another lady joined as panelist for interview. I was the second to be interviewed. As soon as I entered wished
Good morning to Narang sir and Maams. I sat as soon I was told to.Narang sir started scanning my SOP. He told me that he will give me a topic and I need to
Speak for the topic not against it and topic for me was Daydreaming. I started off by saying..Thinking precedes action and daydreaming is all about think so deeply that you tend to forget your ambience. Most people daydream when they are obsessed with any particular idea and they want to visualize the actualization of the idea. One might daydream without closing his eye lids. Dreams seen during night may come true or might turn false whereas daydream comes true most of the times. When you do daydreaming you correlate your physical being with the idea. I spoke for more than a minute, cannot recall what else I said apart from this.Narang sir has to stop me as I was going on and on. I think I repeated one point.
Then interview process started.
NS (Narang Sir): were you in convergys?
Me: Yes
NS: what was your designation?
Me: Technical Support Officer.
NS: What are you doing here?
Me: I am undergoing Interview process for 2 year MBA programme.
NS: What is so special about this day?
Me: Sir Today is International Womens day.
NS: What do we do on this day?
Me: We talk about gender issues and spread awareness about the same.
NS: So we just talk about it and we dont do anything..Right?
Me: No sir we chalk out things we need to accomplish, we celebrate the spirit of womanhood et al.
Domestic violence act is the result of the awareness about gender issues.
NS: What other calls do you have?
Me: IIFT, IIT Khargpur.
NS: So you are pinning hopes on FMS
ME: Yes sir.

Maam (M1): Do you know about chipko movement?
Me: Yes maam.It was a movement to protect trees in hilly regions especially in Kumaon and grahwal.
M1: who started this movement?
Me:Maam I dont know.
M1: Do you like games and sports?
Me: yes maam.
M1: which games?
Me: Football, table tennis.
M1: what about cricket?
Me: Not much
M1: After how long cricket world cup is organized?
Me:4years
M1: Which country is hosting world cup 2007?
Me: West Indies.
M1: When did India win world cup?
Me: 25th June 1983

Maam gave an expression which signified WOW (For these silly questionsJ)
Suddenly Narang sir asked me if I can name all 11 players who played 1983 world cup final
Me: Sir not all may be 6or 7...started off...K.Srikanth, Sunil Gavasker, Kapil dev, Dileep vengsarkar,
Madan lal, Syeed Kirmani..And rather than saying Mohinder amaranth I said lala Amarnath..Narang sir started
Laughing and corrected me.

Maam (M2): Who is the worlds biggest retailer?
Me: Wal-Mart.
M2: They have a tie up with one Indian company, what is the name of the company?
Me: Bharti Group.
M2:Why they have done this rather than opening up there own store ?
Me: Maam as of now there is no FDI in retail.
M2: What kind of retailing is this?
Me: Could not get what Maam was asking.said I dont know.
M2: Organized retailing. (I knew it but could not figured out the way maam asked the question)
Narang Sir: You can go now.

This is all about GDPI.

Something about written exam
