Hi puys.. couldnt find a thread on vgsom gd pi, lemme know if there already is one.

will post my experience in an hour

today about 60 ppl were called who were then divided into 4 panels of 15 each. After a ppt on VGSOM we were sent for case study.

i was in panel 4 our case was on Apollo opening high end medical facilities in delhi. we had to discuss "commercialization of healthcare - gud or bad"

as expected from a group of 15 there was utter chaos. but as 7-8 ppl from 15 kept quiet things were stiil manageable and i cud make 3-4 decent entries.
but had to keep a check on speaking too loudly as i was sittin next to one of the moderators. overall a gud gd for me.

then we were told our interviews wud be according to our sl. no. from 1 to 15. as luck wud hav it my no. ws 15 had to wait fr 2 hours before being called for interview.

Interview: 2 guys in d panel : old guy (O) really old guy (R) and me (ME)

O: why do want to do MBA
ME: (10 mins of well prepared crap)

O: (flips thru my sop nd certificated really fast) u like Amitav Ghosh??

ME:(:( he had to pick this guy from my list of 6 fav authors) well umm hmmm

O: why do u like his works?

ME: (started throwing some crap) he builds his plot meticulously (cant believe i said that)

O: (looks very happy) go on

ME: (more crap for next 10 mins)

piece of advice: nothin makes a bengali happier than listenin to the praise of a fellow bengali

O: wat do u think about most of the gud indian students goin abroad to work
ME: the trend is changin as indian mnc's are also payin well

R: whos ur fav industrialists
ME: ratan tata

R: why??
ME: ethics nd related crap

R: wat bout reliance?
ME: they r doin better than tata's but lack ethics nd values

R: why do say reliance is doin better? on wat parameter?
ME: makin more money (i shudnt hav said that bcoz R suddenly stopped smiling)

Another Advice: kharagpur guys hate money minded ppl or ppl who go abroad

O: if tomoro u bcom a manger and political party asks u fr money
ME: NO (loudly and as sincerely as possible)

R: if he threatens to stop ur company and assume he is politically strong
ME: keeping in mind the welfare of my employees i wud pay him

R:any questions?
ME: vague question on inviting more companies to kgp

Overall pretty gud except the reliance nd money minded blunder


All the best to ppl who hav their gd/pis tomoro

Good initiative dude:)
Good Luck to you Jus keep ur fingers crossed.
Its Good to see that they r not much interested in Technical stuff(Nightmare for me).
As Krishanu pointed out a brief profile would have helped us a lot in relating things.
Thanks a lot

Good PI u had i must say!
All the Best



the pi went on for roughly 20-25 mins. they didnt ask me too many questions but asked a couple of open ended questions like why mba plus i had to talk about amitav ghosh for 10 minutes.

Profile: comp engg from dce -71%
2 yrs work ex in telecom mnc (mayb this lead to those money minded question)
jmet rank: 167
Extra curric: national scholarship in 10th, quiz certis from college

frankly i thot i wud be the only one with a decent profile here but was amazed to find the place full of people from dce, nsit, pec, jamia.
i guess vgsoms reputation is improving.

gd was for 25-30 mins. dont worry about gettin a chance to speak as moderators made sure everyone spoke. technical was asked only to some freshers. for ppl with work ex they focussed on their job but in some cases they did ask about financial fundas eg. equity, sensex, budget deficit etc.

for any other queries lets continue in the previous thread as suggested by sumitro.

thanx fr ur wishes. hope u hv a gread gd/pi
