The CAT applicants who were shortlisted by IIM-K for the GD/PI process were asked to register for the programme. All the mentors helped their respective mentees by sparing time for queries, responding online via chat and answering telephone calls.

“My mentors were very friendly and helped calm my nerves both during preparation and on the big day. My interview was at Kozhikode campus and my mentor had specifically come to meet me there despite his busy class schedule and give me his last few words of advice. This kind of commitment was amazing to see”, remarked one of the mentee.

“We thought that this would be an ideal platform for students to air their queries and clear any apprehensions regarding the GDPI process. We plan to improve the programme further in the future based on feedback received from the aspirants”, said Gautam Bhatt, member of Students’ Council.
