Please share your interview experience guyz!
About one of my friend's interview. The guy hails from aligarh, n interviewer hence asked a lot about locks,about its working, design, least count, margin of error etc... 😛 (Can't help ourself in such kind of situations, just handle pressure n remain calm n composed). And other very important thing which was asked about is the work experience. About work profile, about industry, future challenges, upcoming technologies in deeper and deeper. About current affairs, it was not that much, the guy was asked about latest news in North East, about presidential rule, difference between emergency and presidential rule n a few more.
Another feedback for S- (background-engg) WAT topic was something like "An hour can destroy the work of an entire age" The panel was very calm and the PI very chilled out. For most of the people, the focus was on academic subjects and hobbies.
ek aur topic... "feeling the blues, or turning yellow...what's your choice"
Were you offered candies in the end??
- Yes
- No

IIM Shillong-3/2/2016
WAT - One plus One can't be two.
PI started with 'Tell us about yourself.'
And then PI mostly revolved around my profile, work-ex and job profile and further related follow up questions.
Overall a Chilled out experience.
Anyone have their WAT/PI on 15th Feb(blore)?
I asked the panel before leaving can I take one (pointing at the bowl with candies) they smiled and said yeah it's for you, please take one more and wished good day 😂
have they returned the application form to everyone or m the only one indicating that u r not able to make it :(Â
they returned the application form for me too..is it a problem?...my interview was ok only..
