Hello PPl,
Had My SITM GD/PI process today...
The process went off quite fine & smooth... Since its weekly I don't expect much traffic here...
NEways,
Here goes.
GD...
'Family managed businesses: Pros & Cons'
Became a fish market, the panel had to intervene twice. Runs for 20 mins.
Then, extempore. In front of the group. You're given 3 min to think, and 3 min to speak. You pick up a chit having 3 topics, and choose one of them to speak on. Me spoke on 'Sania Mirza given Padma Shri by Govt. Your views.'
Then, PI. Be ready with your technical knowledge, coz if even a hint of technology enters the PI, be prepared to continue with a range of questions on that tech stuff.
I was grilled on the work I'd done to carry out a study for my office, not related to anything tech: It was an Events related study for a marketing co.
Waiting for your experiences...
Regards,
Grondmaster.
PS: Have some more data with me, not on me right now, will put it up as soon as I get my hands on it. - Gronde

Hey people...
As I said... here's my detailed experience.
@aniruddha_1982
Were you in my group? I asked around whether anyone from PG was there... perhaps you weren't there then. Yeah... i wrote the topics for posting here.
Anyways, here goes...
GD.
'Family owned business houses in India: Pros & Cons'
Points that came up:
Single point decision making.
Comfort level among decision makers is high.
Ego hassles creep in, resulting in business houses stop being family managed after the second generation.
There's problems of ownership
Can become autocratic.
Trust, absent & present.
Examples: Reliance (Obviously!) Tatas & Birlas among others.
The GD became a royal fish market, as everyone, me included, were putting out points, but not really listening to anyone. Points kept getting repeated, and nothing new came up after a while. The panel interrupted twice, both times asking us to speak individually. Even during the summing up, they said that summing has to be done by a single person.
Immediately later, extempore started. The first guy was given 3 min to think on the topic, and meanwhile, everyone else was asked to give a short intro about him/herself.
Then, the first guy came in, was asked to speak about himself for a couple of sentences, and begin, while the next person was given time to think.
Topics my group spoke on were:
Mobile phones
Should student-teacher affairs in campus be permitted
What are the makings of good soldiers
Is India capable of becoming a power of the East
Family planning v/s the law of nature
Labour problems in India
Poverty is a handicap to the Indian economy
Reservations in India: good or bad
Veto power in the UN security council.
Topics I got were:
When does patience cease to be a virtue?
Sania Mirza gets the Padmashri from the Indian Govt. Your views.
How can we encourage tourist trade in India.
I spoke on the Sania Mirza topic, about her being an icon, and in an area which the govt. needs to praise more, etc. etc.
In the PI, turns out that the panel I got was taknig the longest. And there was this tech prof there, someone very high up in the SITM arena. He asked me some tech topics from my diploma (over 5 years ago - lucky they were my favorites, and still remembered enough about them!)
People, be prepared with tech topics. If you don't mention them, they won't get asked. But if you do, and you will, as the panel twists questions such that you'll have to, then the panel will dig real deep into the topic, no matter what. I was asked about the 8085 & 86 microprocessors, someone else on Java, others on their projects, and such. Rest assured that atleast one tech question will be asked. After all, it is a tech MBA.
The students had done a good job, with the group details & stuff being displayed on screen, and being constantly updated. In between, they also showed the Indo-Pak match!

is gd an elimination process in sitm or they r conducting interviews for all the candidates?????
@ Grond.. Dude i told u that i m from Pg at SITM but perhaps u dint listen.. I also asked u ur name in PG.. Well i was the one sitting to ur Right.
vvaarruunn Saysis gd an elimination process in sitm or they r conducting interviews for all the candidates?????
@Varun.. The PI is for all. Its not a elimination. First GD then in the same group extempore follows.. And after some time PI is there..
k00l_KuNaL Sayshey Grond.....thx for the effort uv put in....it really helps...i hv my GD/PI on 25th...hv done by BCA 2004 pass out...hence all software stuff in the course....but hv 1.5 yrs work ex in Telecom and am a CCNA.....so do u really think tht i shud brush up my BCA subjects and final year projects....plz suggest !!
Well... I suggest you do so. As some have said, one of the panels doesn't ask about any tech stuff, but mine did. Also, its like digging your own grave. So if you say that this is my fav subject, or this sub is what I'm good at, or things to that effect, there'll be a line of questions on that subject. So if you have to, birng out a subject you're good at. I fell that in your case, it'll be your workex they'll ask about, & as CCNA is already there in the syllabus, expect something on that too.
Regards,
Grondmaster
Got it Dude....ill try to move my PI towards the CCNA stuff.....but wanted to clarify one thing...if u have an idea.
If there are any gaps between the Graduation and the first job....how to cover that....like in my case....there was a gap of around 6 months before i got my first job...so how shud i go abt covering tht...im sure it'll b a big hurdle tht i need to cross.
And with regards to work-ex....do dey cross-check the work-ex ??
aniruddha_1982 Says@Varun.. The PI is for all. Its not a elimination. First GD then in the same group extempore follows.. And after some time PI is there..
