GIM GD/PI Discussions 2012-2014

Yes you should prepare some sort of justification for low score in any section and provide backing by stating your CAT score if you have scored better in that section in CAT, because it is very common question from panellist i.e. why you have scored less score in that section.

And if CAT score is low too ? Cat doesnt have DM ,, just LR right.. my DM is 55.xx percentile .. this is the lowest of the three..!!

See if you have a justifiable reason because of which you scored less in any section then you should state that, or else we all have to live with the truth, because at the end what we have scored is sealed and we can't change it. Also just because you scored less in one particular section they won't reject you!! If you have the potential and they find you deserving they will surely select you, so just give it your best shot and prepare well for GD/PI, you should beat others in your area of expertise and create a POD for yourself. Get back in case of further query.

Hi,

I have been called for the GD/PI. I had a conflict of dates as it was clashing with one of other calls.

I mailed to GIM as was instructed by AvinashJha, and they were really nice and responded back quite instantly and asked me to select a slot(8:30 or 1:30) on 5th or 6th March at Goa, if it was possible for me.

I replied back with my preferred slot and date requesting them to acknowledge/confirm the same.

However, no communication has been done from their part till then.

I wanted to ask that how much time they take in confirming the slot, if anyone who has asked for a change and got it might help in this case.

It would really be nice if some seniors/students at GIM could also help answering the question.

Thanks. 😃

Request for some patience here.

Jeny mam handles all these herself. And she must be getting so many mails. So it might take sometimes a day or 2 to get the reply.

Don't worry, you will get your confirmation soon.

Yes. It may be asked. Be ready for all kinds of questions.

Why MBA?
Why GIM?
Why 2 year MBA and not an executive one if you have 4-5 yrs of work ex?
How MBA will help you in your further progress of career?
5 or 10 years down the line.

1. We are not very sure of how these things are followed in the actual scoresheet.

2. But be very sure that these make a very minimal difference at the end.

3. All that matters finally is the GD/PI performance.

4. To substantiate this, we still have majority of engineers in our batch. We have majority of them fro IT Background only.

5. So don't think on what is not in your hands. Think on what you can do. And that is performing on the D-Day and that is not very far. You have an oppurtunity. Go and grab it. All the best.

Original of the following :

1. Xth, XIIth, Graduation Certificates

2. Xth, XIIth, Graduation Marksheets

3. Recent Photo Identity Card

4. Print out of the call letter

5. PEN

6. Proof of any information you filled in the form

7. Proof of Govt Recg Achievement, if any

It won't harm if you have one photo copy as well.


CV is not a compuslory part of the GIM admission process.
But it is advisable to have a copy of your CV at hand.


Try to get the work ex certificate if possible. If not, then joining letter and the pay slips would suffice.

Attesting is not compulsory.



P.S : Sincere request to browse last few pages and I am sure, most of your queries will get answered.
