IIM - Indore GD/PI experience
PROFILE:
Acads:
X : 83%
XII : 93 %
Undergrad Major - GPA/%age : 63 % (Computer Science)
Work-Ex: 16 months
CAT %ile: 99.89
The day started badly. I lost balance and fell off my bike while taking a U turn. I was hoping the GD/PI will be better. GD was ok , PI was horrible.
GD:
Topic: Case study involving Susan , a conservative religious Christian girl who is attracted by army life. She marries her childhood friend - Navin , an army officer against the wishes of her parents. After some time , she realizes army life is not so idealistic , as imagined by her. She comes to know that her husband has committed excesses and had an illicit affair when on posting in N-E. What should she do ? Take divorce ?
Number of Ppl present : 10
Time: 30 minutes to analyse the case and write recommendations followed by 20 mins of GD.
Brief Snapshot of Discussion: A lot of repetition of points. People were like "I agree with you" and would repeat the same point in different words.
Other Salient Details: No Summary was asked .
PI:
Panel Members Intro: Both were aged around 40-45. P1 was interested more in History - Civics and P2 in /MIS.
It was all over in 11 mins.
Questions:
P1 : Tell me about yourself.
P1 : If you are doing so well in your job , why MBA ?
P1 : Why IIM - Indore ?
P1 : What is MIS ?
P1 : What is DSS ?
P2 : Who was Gokhale ? (Gokhale Education Society is mentioned on one of my certis)
P2 : Tell me some freedom fighters of India.
P2 : Who wrote Constitution Of India ?
P2 :What is Federal Republic ?
P2 : What are fundamental rights of Citizen ?
P2 : What are guiding principles of Constitution ?
Have no courage to write down the answers. Will probably update my answers later.
The other panel was more interested in Agriculture.
Overall , interviews were short and lasted an average of 15 mins.
Have the big one .. IIM-A lined up on Sunday. Just hoping that Sunday turns out to be better than today .
Best of Luck to others .
