could you explain your rationale behind why you even applied for the course?
that might help in framing a plausible answer to "why abm".

Hi guys and gals,
Had my GD/PI yesterday. Here's my experince:
GD: Is India ready for Space Research and Nuclear program?
Usual routine GD with every1 doing equally good i thought.
PI:

Me(DM)...P1 and P2
P1: Briefly describe urself.
DM: blah blah blah...mentioned my achievments at Infosys...Individual Excellence Award and stuff...
P1: Wats the difference between Software Engineer and Program Analyst?
DM: Told them but basically told it's blurred as I was doing work of PA but I am a SE...
P1: says but you are exceptional....
DM: Just smile(dunno how to react)

P1: Asks Maths question...Graph for mod X-3...Is it continous...is it differentiable...why not...difference b/w Matrix and determinant...difference b/w cofactor and minor...
DM: Answered all these really well...had been asked des questions in previous interviews and didn't know the answers then!!
P1: how do you remember all this...Must have been told by coaching institutes?
DM: No sir...Dunno wat else i said
P2: Which coaching institute did you join?
DM: IMS correspondence
P1: Again says ur Maths is really gud...You are good why didnt you try for IIMs before?
DM: (Wat do des guys want) Yes sir i did try a couple of years back...But in hindsight i realise my experience wud help me relate MBA education better...
P1: HOw can you say that!! You have been taught all these things by coaching institutes(Dunno they were really anti coaching institutes)...You dont know wat we will teach you...If say the same thing after one year in IIMs then its acceptable...
DM: Just try to mumble something...
P2: Asks about Napster...Security mechanisms...Search page ranking
DM: Carried on for atleast 15 min...Thought i gave them reasonable answers...
P2: No your security concepts are not that good...
DM: Smile(NO COMMENTS)
P1: But Maths is good...What was your score in 12th class.
DM: 98...Topped my school sir...(probably shudn't have said that)
P2: (was going through the interview form) Your work ex comes out to be 18 mnths and not 19 months...did some calculations...
DM: I tried to calculate but said yeah it is 18.5..so i rounded it off to 19...
P1: NO its a bit less than 18.5 so round it off to 18.
DM: I say its fine and change the interview form(Later on realised dats its 18 months and 20 days which is much greater than 18.5!!!)
P2: So I am also gud at Maths...I also topped my school!!!(I dunno whether they took my telling dat as bragging or something)
P1: So how was CAT this year...It was easier right.
DM: Sir although the level of questions was easy the change in pattern upset many candidates so overall the cut off remains same as last year.
P1: Yes, we had different marking...So what do you think should this continue?
DM: Dunno whether it is good or bad...but what i think is that CAT pattern shud keep on changing so that candidates do not come wid preconcieved plans...
P1: EXACTLY...we want to negate the coaching institutes...pattern shud change.
DM: support them...
P1: Ok Deepak Thank you...Your Maths is good but security concepts are weak!!
DM: (Not again)...Thanks sir

That was it lasted at least 30 min...ppl outside said it was arnd 40-45 min...
So guys wat do you think my chances...thought it went off decently...But i think probably shudnt have mentioned my topper stuff!!...but these things happen instinctively...
Tell abt ur comments on this...and all the best to one and all...

deepak, i think you had a very decent interview....btw,what was the location?
