Hi all,

we were taken into different rooms where we were seated in a U table

Hi junta,

Had met people from Planet -I today around 2 PM.

Around 2:20 PM a batch of 32 is divided into 4 groups with 8 ppl each.

GD : Case study on one Auto Manufacturing company called Vahan Motors which is launching a 10-tonne truck into the market. After they finish all the tests etc they realise that people generally load the trucks with 18 tonnes. What should the VP Production do?

We were given five minutes to think and 16 mins to discuss. In the end we were asked to write summary on the form within five mins.

We had a pretty decent GD with everyone contribution to it. I should say it was a very good GD.

I was the last to be ineterviewed.

The panel had two profs one is a tall and fair guy with a pleasant smile and the other is a baldy with a french,he resembles "kallu mama " of bollywood 😃 😃 . Letz call the TF and KM:satisfie: .

TF: you stay very near by, so it is not unfair to have your i/v in the end.
Me: Smiles
TF: What is the talk outside, about the i/vs?
Me: To quote the exact words " kewl and chilled"
both laugh 😃

KM: so, you are working with XXXXXXX?
Me: Yes, sir
KM: What exactly do you do there?
Me: blah blah blah
KM: What is the difference b/w this and that?
Me: blah blah
he asked some 5-6 questions on my work ex, I was very comfortable answering them and have done well.

He hands over the form to TF.
TF: your other career interest is to join politics? :wow: :wow:
Me: Yes, sir
TF: ( quite surprised) whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy?
Me: blah blah blah blah
TF: are there any politicians in your family?
Me: no
TF: what do you want to achieve through politics?
Me: blah blah blah
TF: hmm...you mentioned something about vedas and upanisads?
Me: Yes, sir
TF: how many vedas are there?
Me: ( comeo on, you can ask better questions)answered
TF: what are vedangs?
Me: answers
TF: How many Upanisads are there?
Me: Answers
TF: How many are canonical?
Me: answers
TF: who made these divisions?
Me: answers
TF: have you studied Taittriya upanisad?
Me: No
TF: what is the concept of God in Vedas?
Me: blah blah blah ... ( I like this guy. he asked things I know of )
TF: You are into carnatic music?
Me: Yes, sir. I am learning vocal
TF: how did you get interested in it?
Me: told him about family background etc
TF: Do you have any family memebers who are into it?
Me: told him about it
TF: where does your father work?
Me:told him
TF: you studied in xxxxx place. are your ancestors hailing from there?
Me: told him abt it
TF: hmm...you have almost 6 yrs of work ex. Is it a conscious decision to write CAT?
Me: (of course) Yes, sir
TF: Dont you think there will be any issue in sitting in classroom with people who are 3-4 yrs younger to you ?
Me: gave him a lengthy answer

Both TF and KM wished me all the best and I came out.

I think it was a very casual i/v and dont know what are my chances. I think they have already decided who to tak :satisfie: :satisfie:

Edited after final result:

I converted this call too. I think I had a very good GD and then the PI was about whatever I wrote in the form. I could justify whatever I have written in the form and bingo I converted it.

Looks like an ideal i/v... I mean they asked u stuff u could answer peacefully...

All the best for the result!!

tht and the reasons u gave for politics and age questions wd carry marks ... :)
