hey guys,

gave my gd/pi yesterday(17th) 😁 ,.

well u all will not believe this,
out of 16 only 4 turned up.

that means, such a cool gd, meaning no one was cutting, my first ever gd experience in which i was not trying to cut any one but waiting even after some one is finished.
it was really cool.


3 guys, 1 gal.
one guy was having call from 4 IIMs, one gal had already converted FORE, other was MS in IT and one left was SAJAL.
:oops:

we 4 were analysed by 8 faculty members.


then in the int, it was general and acads.
got over in around 20min.

well, university is really cool, i mean u will keep walking and still will not be able to see the end.

hey cool indian, its a case study there and a unique case too. till now i have faced cases where in the end, it was asked what should so n so person do, but in UBS case, the person affected alredy realised the solution. NOW WAT TO DO.

in int, i was asked abt the intel chips, from what they are made, what is inside.
as i have a GATE score card, they asked why not MTECH.
also a 2 min speech on current indian team when i said i m a state level player.
some ques in chess.

not much grilling in acads basically.
all the best for ubs.

SAJAL

8 faculty members for 4 candidates?! Man,thats something! What are they trying to do- write a thesis??

and ne1 else who has had their gd/pi post ur experiences

one of my frnd also had his gd at 12:30 but it started at bout 1:30 nd he was free at around 3:30.
So, by latest u'll be free by 4. So, u can arrange it accordingly.

thanx jass.. wen is urs gd/pi..? and ne other info from ur frends bout the kind of gd/pi there? sajju said in his post only 4 out of 16 appeared.. ne ways 16 r too much.. is it general trend there that around 10 students appear or that was one off situation?
Deepak

i hv my gd on 18th . Still a long time to go.
Nd by d way , all 16 of his batch turned up. But u need not worry bout it as u'll get 15 mins to note down ur pts nd 15 mins to speak. Also, since its a case study , u'll hv ample amount of time to speak.
So chill nd relax.
Dont worry nd all d best.

my CAT %ile r 93.2 with 96 DI, 91 QA n 80 VA.

hey deepak,
How was ur gd buddy?????

Here is my GD PI exp.

As you go there, a person would check the details you filled on the form and would ask for the photcopies of your certificates. If you don't get the photocopies, they would help you in getting them.

After the verfication, you will have a presentation from UBS seniors and the QA session.

After you would move for a case. You would be given a case and there would be question asked. You would have to think about it and discuss. In my case we had a conversation between some Foreman and a Supervisor of a firm. GD would be about 15 minutes. 10 minutes for reading and 15 minutes for discussing.

There are about 5-6 people in the panel. The same panel takes GD and PI.

PI would be short and sweet and they would ask about your projects if you are an It guy and your views on India Shining if you are commerce guys. You can expect thorough grilling on your projects. Like I did testing and they asked me everything from Black Box n White Box to RDBMS.

But if you CAT %ile is 95+, rest assured you are in. The weightage of CAT score is 85% as told by the UBS senior off the record when I showed him my CAT Score Card with 97 on it.

Cheers and PM me if you need anything else.

hey roomies.. sorry for the late post. had my gd/pi on 24th. went great i have a 99% thats shud see me thru. i m jus keepin ma fingers croissed. the question is where would u place ubs. are we all jus takin it cuz we have nowhere else to go!..
i am in a dilemna. whether to take admin here or go for work ex. fresher from DU BBS. talke to the seniors they said if u can run around dor everythin ,.., take UBS.. otherwise if u think u havent given ur best shot to cat (which i havent) then dont take it ..
the campus is cool. and so is the faculty. i also know quite a few passouts from UBs doin decemtly well..
i repeat ma questin .. shall i talk it ?? presumin i m in

Hi Pawan,

Dunno how mant pawans are there @ CBS but I konw one whos a bit fat (not as fat as me ;)) and from what I hve heard bout him, he is a REAL bond chap. He joined IMS CP. If you are the same pawan, I would say go for your naukri and take CAT again next year and give it your best shot.

Jut think if you've got 99 without preparing well, you can do wonders if you do well and wveryone konws the reputation of CBS among the MBA institues so it would also help you next year.

Cheers !!!!

P.S.: If you are the pawan "BOND" form IMS CP, You don't know me.

hey guys,
