Hi
Very less activity on this thread.....any ways had my GD/PI/Essay today

Time:9:00Am

Started off with a small movie on IMI (gud 1)....
then u have to write an Essay topic for which is given but chosen by all of the candidates present.........u have the option of goin for another topic but then u have to chose the second 1(if u reject the first topic given) as u cant go back to first 1.
We chose the first topic
Topic : Food is more important than Ethics (some thin similar as dont remember the exact topic)
Time: 15 min

Then u have to fill up a Personal details form and be sure wat u write as they can ask in interview and they generally do.

We were allotted coordinators per Batch who were very helpful and answering all ur queries (A big cheer for them)
Also met our own Nikhil_Aero there

Then came GD:
Topic :MNC's are devils in disguise

had a nice discussion but some time it was about to be a Fish Market with many people speaking at the time.
But it was fine.
I made 4-5 points

Then wait for PI
the same panel which was for GD will take ur PI.

Three Members (2 gentlemen and 1 lady )

i guess 2 faculty members and 1 alumni or faculty


I entered
Q:Some thin abt my school?
Q:asked me where do i see myself 10 yrs down the line?

Q: Why MBA?
gave some points
Q:then asked me to calculate Total cost of My MBA on paper?
i did keeping in mind the salary i ll be giving up.
Q:Then asked me in how many years i think I ll be able to repay?
i said 2 years and then was asked that they don't think so....
Q:he said it was a more complex situation then i was thinking... but left it at that
Bach gya
Q:Do u read Newspapers.
I said yes...TOI ( kaun bole Hindu )
Q: Did u read todays newspaper
I said Nop as left quite early.
Q: I was asked to explain current recession in IT(my work Ex)
told them how strengthening rupee is cutting into profits .
Q: what is strengthening rupee ?
gave some gyan
Q: Then asked me How the IT sector is still showing growth?
tried to explain but i guess could hv been better
Q: tell how the Organizational Politics is +ve for company
was a very different question but then tried to give some Example from my company
Q: was asked wat calls i have and how I found IMI process different from the ones i have been 2?
Gave some fundas
Q: Then I was asked wat will i like to change in the company I work for?


That was it they were asking a lot of different type of questions but were not grilling U

overall very different yet similar to my earlier interview Experiences

abt the whole process it was gud.....Seniors were helpful.....campus is very small with No play field but the faculty is world class and Placements are Gud


I hope I ll hear Positive reponse from IMI

hey nafis,thanks for sharing your experience buddy..
just wanted to ask you, were u allowed to keep your cell phone while you guys were going through the essay session at IMI?

had my gd/pi today..

venue: IMI, Delhi
time : 9:00 am
cat score: 97.21
profile: bcom(hons) final year..

Reached at a quater to 9 and the presentation started at dot 9.

next was the essay.. topic: "food preceeds ethics" (or something like that)..

then our group was assigned a co-ordinator for the day... who happened to be none other then nikhil_aero himself... so all those who thought that he was actually a friendly computer bot, who solved all our queries... he does exist !!!:D

gd topic: "should crime and violence be shown on tv"

nice discussion, no fish market, everyone spoke.. ended too soon..

was the second last for the interview.. lasted around 20 mins i guess (maybe more.. you never really know when your in there)... stuff like about yourself, ethics: should they be taught, qualities of a good manager, some stuff about cricket, about schooling..
screwed me a bit on my acads...acounts, hr and a bit of cost
overall it was ok... acads might let me down..

nice place, helpful seniors, and a good group..

My IMI experience

Venue - IMI
Date - 14 feb
Slot - 1 pm

it all started with essay -"corruption is outcome of democracy "

nice topic..quite corrupted start

GD - "govt should first look into themself before blaming private sector for corruption"

corruption still continued....but very easy group..nice discussion...no fishy market..discussed coolly

Interview

prof- tell me about urself
moi - gyaan.....
prof- asked me about my extra curricular activity of initiating tech fest in my coll
moi - told everything from plan...to draft..to sponsors we arranged.
prof - why dont u do parttime mba
moi - told i want study + part of students driven activity+industry proj + summers in regular mba gives practical learning
Prof - suppose ur head of TRAI..how would u allocate spectrum
moi - told about min pricing I woud set.Now all comp that satisfy it will be considered for next round(Like IMI did with cat score).Then i would do speculation on comps background.and other factors.
Prof- would u take bharti or vodafone.
Moi - vodafone coz it has global outlook and has more competitive and better past record.
Prof - tell us abut RPL.
Moi - gave all gyan ..listing ipo..over subscribe..fell down to 375 on first listing.
Prof - came up with two graphs.asked me to tell their means..and whats diff bw the two.
Moi - told median is same..but they differ in Standard deviation terms (OLD GYAAN OF SCHOOL....DIDN`t Remember much)
Prof - which minister u hate the most
Moi - CM of UP coz she is encouraging reservation for vote banking

Over all okies experience.

At the end it really gets suffocating..its gr8 to come out and breathe in fresh air.
