GD/PI | Ever Heard of LAL, BAL, PAL?
Aao sunau tumhe ek dukhbhari kahani… !
Note -My Gk is absolute zero, try not to judge me on the basis of that.
Kahani ka naam – “CAP WAT/PI experience 1st March forenoon shift, Delhi”
WAT topic – ‘Despite Bollywood movies being women centric, do you think the role of women has changed in society?’
Decent WAT, not above average though.
Ab aati h PI ki baari. I was last in my group. Panel of 2 males.
Me-Gm
P1-Gm, how are you feeling?
Me-Fine, sir.
P1- I am asking you this because you are last in your panel. How do you feel about that?
Me- I have a neutral perspective regarding the same. I don’t think being the last one matters.
P1- So you must have gained a lot of knowledge sitting outside, asking your fellow members about what we are asking in the interview.
Me-I was curious and hence I did ask. But I believe that questions vary from person to person due to varying profiles, so these are of no help.
P2 takes the complete folder from my hand
Ab kahaani mazedaar banegi…
P1- Looks at my residential address and asks… Shastri nagar…who is this ‘Shastri’?
Me- Don’t know sir
P1- I will help you. He is so famous and have so many colonies named after him… Let me give you a hint. Ever heard of LAL , BAL, PAL? Try to make out the names.
Me-Lal bahadur Shastri, Bal Gangadhar Tilak, ……
P1- Try the third one too…try to remember.
Me-Sorry sir, not able to.

P1- You have such low acads. Calls kaise aa gye tumko new IIMs se? ‘Category k ho kya?’

P1- Preference of new IIMs? Other calls?
M-told.
P1- FMS se call kaise aa gya. Shocking. Kya join kroge fir FMS ya new IIM?
M- FMS acads based call nhi krte. In all honesty, first priority fMS and then IIM Ranchi.
P1-Ok. Thanks. You may go.
To conclude, humaari acche se maar li gayi aaj. Jaatey jaatey bhi humko mock kiya gaya. Definitely stress interview tha. Ab new IIMs se officialy naata bhi toot gaya. MDI and FMS k liye bahut hee shandaar morale breaker tha ye. Shayad hee convert ho paaye koi B school is baar.
All the best to everyone else.!
