GD:
Topic: Democracy benefits only the people with power...
Number of Ppl present - 10
Time: 1 min to think - 10 to discuss - 1 to summarize
Brief Snapshot of Discussion:
The discussion was a moderate fish market but all made points though I dont really know how valid they were.
I started the GD and made a couple of other points.. An average performance from my side..:lookround:
Other Salient Details: The 1 min to summarize was used by us to summarize individually. 7 of us could talk in the 1 min. It was the group decision to do this. There is no fixed pattern expected.
PI: Started with the extempore.
Panel Members Intro: 5 members.. Dont know any of them...
Questions: One of the panel members gave a small intro about me. B.Tech from NITW in Biotechnology. Plays Basketball, Scrabble watched movies. (A tone which hinted pretty dry profile)
So one of the panel members starts off with the extempore topic.
Extempore Topic: In a rat race even if you win you are only a rat.
I was little taken aback since usually its about the CAT and the rat race. Since this one was about the being the rat itself I dint have much to speak about. Talked abt how the race begins from our school days to getting placed. The only way to get differentiated is to have a different profile skills etc....
Now the interview.
Q : So what kind of movies do you watch? (movies my hobby :cheerio:)
Me : Suspense, Thriller mainly.
Q : Have you watched Hitchcock movies?
Me : Said a couple. Named them too.
Q : What abt Agatha Christie?
Me : She writes. Movies made by others. Talked of Mouse Trap being the longest ever run play.
Q : What abt Oriental Express?
Me : Yes. The Murder on Oriental Express is also there.
A small gap with them discussing something in Hindi. Felt they were not interested in me.
Q(Middle Guy) : So what is your job profile?
Me : Explained.
Q(Female Member) : What is the difference between Character and Personality? (I got an award for excellence in character. Hence)
Me : Explained in a decent way. Talked of how personality involves presentation as well. Character is more ingrained values n all.
Q : Why cloning is banned or not encouraged in humans?
Me : Told the reason. Talked to 2 same persons existing. Moral problem. But dint delve into that...
Q : What is stem cell research?
Me : Explained.
Q : What are your other interests?
Me : Scrabble(No response 
), Movies.
Q : Reading?
Me : Yes. More of Non Fiction
Q : Last book you read?
Me : Blink
Q : author
Me : Told
Q : What does it talk of?
Me : Told Pretty well.
Q : Thank you. That will be it.
Overall the interview was ok. Extempore topic I felt dint have much scope to speak. I could not relate to may things as I would like to have. Even the panel member was like trying to make up a topic. GD too was only ok.
My Verdict : Considering my score is close to lower cutoff and heir lack of interest in me (At least thats what I felt) a reject or early WL it should be.
Actual Verdict : ??????>?>?>?>
PS : Opinions/ Feedback Welcome
rahul_oberoi SaysSorry to spam here but just one thing I want to confirm ......Is CV also required along with other things ??????Plz reply asap becoz I have my interview tomorrow....

Overall Analysis : Not too great. Felt that there was so little time that they had to analyse us etc. Sadly!
Extempore Topic: Higher education in India
Started off well enough but lost steam ( and ideas ) and was beating round the bush when the time was up! Made about 2 3 okayish points, not bad but not a great one,again pretty average! Some points came to mind ( as expected 
) after comin out, shit!
Overall Process : Felt that I dint do justice to my ability. Was average at best. Expecting a reject here and the end of my dream 😞 😞
Puys, please provide some feedback on this.
Also, I belive, last year, a composite score of 51-52 / 100 fetched one a convert!. This year with the increase in cutoff, it might move towards 58-59. What say? Does anyone have the last years final marks sheet? AM unable to find that anywhere.
Please PM me or post somewhere. I am gettin desperate here:drinking:

GD:
Topic: Democracy benefits only a few people with power
Number of Ppl present:9
Time: 14th March 2011. 1:30 PM - 11 minutes (Though it was supposed to start at 1:30 the process for our group started only at 2:40 -2:45 So people try to book your travel mode as late as possible. )
Brief Snapshot of Discussion:
We were given an intro to the GD process. We were told not to make it a fishmarket or else they might have to disqualify everyone. Just before we entered we were told by people who had attended before that some of the GDs became fishmarkets.
It was a good GD with almost everyone pitching in their points. I felt the GD went off on a tangent when people started comparing Democracy with Dictatorship and China was brought into picture. But overall it was a good GD. No Fishmarket at all.
I would have liked to come with a few more points. I usually used to start off with one other person and since the other person would not stop, I usually stopped speaking. But I felt I came out with 1 very strong point and a couple of OK points.
Other Salient Details: They tell us beforehand that we can enter our thoughts in the piece of paper that would have been kept on our seats. They do not let us take them out with us after the GD.
I am not sure whether they do infact check whatever we have written or they just don't want us to take it out because they don't want us to help other people i different groups - No idea. But just in case I would ask all of you to make your points legibly and coherently in the piece of paper.
The kind of arrangement that was made for our group was a semicircle of chairs. In this case it would be most benefitting if you are sitting in one of the corner chairs where you don't have to move your head too much to see all the people in the group.
PI:
Panel Members Intro: 1 Gentleman (G)and 2 ladies (L1 and L2) (sitting on either side of the Gent)
Stakeholders: G, L1, L2 and Me
I went inside, wished them good afternoon. It was kinda awkward as none of them were looking at me. I tried to hide my apprehension as much as possible. (I had been meted out the same treatment in a stress interview by IIM L). After a moment or two (They were all looking at something in front of them - maybe my form) I was asked to sit down by the panel.
G: So Vinay, I will tell you about the extempore process. You will be given a topic by L1 (L1 was deep in thought). You will get 10 seconds to process your thoughts and 1 minute to speak about the topic. I will let you know when you have to stop (He pointed out a big stop clock in front of him which could ring a bell too)
Me: Ok sir. (Started looking at L1. My heart was pounding my throat. I had prepared for most probable topics that might come out of my SOP, my name , my Degree etc.) (I had prepared for topics like Confucius, MTech is better than MBA or vice versa, Playing Computer games is bad, FMS is better than IIMs or vice versa etc etc).
L1: So Vinay your topic is Waste Management!
Me: 
Excuse me? (Never ever in 100 years I could have predicted this topic. It was noway related to my SOP or my life. I then was told that a previous interviewee in the same group had touched upon this topic in their interview.)
L1: Waste Management.
Me: Ma'am is it Waste Management in general or is it specific to something.
L1: In general. Are you comfortable with the topic? If not I can give you one more. Do you know anything about this topic?
Me: (Thought for about 500 ms. Did not know what kind of topic I would get next if I did opt to change it. I had read about waste management quite a bit a long time ago but didn't remember any of it as of that moment) I know a little about this ma'am. I will give it a shot.
G: Ok then you have 10 seconds from now. (He sets the clock to 10 sec)
Me: (Waste management - What ? Why? How? Example. This was the thought that was going on in my mind)
G: (Hits the bell and off I go)
Me: Started talking stuff that I don't recollect right now. But touched upon a little bit on what is it. Why is it necessary. How is done. Gave example of Bangalore City and how they are trying to do it. Got into a little specific about e-waste. And also told something about carbon emissions and management of IT hardware etc.
Me: (@50 - 54 seconds) - Uhmmmm.(A pause as I wanted to speak about something else)
G: (Hits the bell)
L2: Ok that was good. Now Vinay, you spoke something about Carbon Emissions. Do you know anything about Carbon Trading.
G: I was about to ask the same question (All 3 of them laugh. I laugh with them)
Me: 
Went on for about a min or two and explained them in detail.
L2: But according to me the earth is not at all benefitting from it.
Me: Gave some gyan.
L2: ... (Don't remember what she asked but something related)
Me: Gave some more gyan.
G: So you know about this topic well. Now tell me how exactly do they measure the amount of Carbons saved.
Me: (I knew a vague answer. Maybe if could get about 10 seconds of time I could have answered it. But 10 seconds is a premium there. I started of with something vague trying to buy some time and think about the answer in the background but nothing was materializing.) Sir I am not sure of this.
G: Looks satisfied and smiles. No idea why? Did he want to hear "I do not know from my mouth?"
L1: So where do you see yourself 5 years from now? (Still looked bored with the proceedings)
Me: Blabbered out my prepared answer.
L2: So you want to become a Management Consultant huh? Isn't that just a buzzword used these days.
Me: Well ma'am to be frank that is the work I like doing and if I love the work I do then even if it is or if it is not a buzzword it doesn't really matter.
L2: So what all exams did you write for B-Schools.
Me: Told
L2: Let us assume you don't get in any of the big schools but only in the new IIMs (Ranchi, Rohtak etc) what would you do.
Me: I don't think I would go for it ma'am. I would rather continue working for a year or two and then maybe do an executive MBA than join the new IIMs as I have heard they do not have any infrastructure in place and even though the placements might be good, I doubt the kind of learning that will happen there. (I think this was a mistake. Not sure though. I thought of making it as diplomatic as possible but they wouldn't let me give one and kept asking the same question until I finally gave the above answer)
G: Ok then Vinay. This is the end of the interview. You can go now.
Me: (So soon? The interview had hardly gone for 10 minutes. Nothing was asked in whatever I had prepared !)
Me: Ok Sir. Thankyou everyone.
(The curtain falls 😁 )

Then came the extempore topic : MAYA
The first thing that came to my mind was mayawati ( As soon as i said her name everybody started smiling 
) and i spoke abt her for full minute i think as soon as i was going on the other aspect of maya, they stopped me.
(One thing to keep in mind they are 5 in all so need to address each one of them in the extempore, so you will have to literally rotate your neck from east to west )
After that a general discussion on MAYA, mayajaal etc.
They said that they wanted to hear smthing different . But its your take its OK if you spoke about Mayawati
P: Heard about Mayan Civilisation?
A: Yes sir but cant recall jst the name is all i know
P: What was the capital of it?:lookround: ( jab bola nai pata fir bhi )
A: Dnt Know sir

A: had a well prepared answer, but was a bit sad cz f nt telling the answers, so told abt the DU part only and world class faculty and was abt to say more, but was cut in between.
P:You will say the same in other colleges also?
A: I said no sir, because they are not in DU so why would i relate them with DU
All laughed, ( i was dumb to say that... i tht they were asking abt the DU part so said ) on the other hand they can even consider it as a witty answer
P: No no we were talking about joining FMS
A: Smiled a bit, then Yes sir will say so
Ok Ankur you may leave, on my way out, heard them laughing on the "World CLass Faculty" thing .. dnt knw ere laughing at me on on themselves

Puys, please provide some feedback on this.
Also, I belive, last year, a composite score of 51-52 / 100 fetched one a convert!. This year with the increase in cutoff, it might move towards 58-59. What say? Does anyone have the last years final marks sheet? AM unable to find that anywhere.
Please PM me or post somewhere. I am gettin desperate here:drinking:
Thanks
Please find the final marks list of all GD PI candidates of last year.
Can Someone Please clarify how much before the reporting time we are supposed to be present there.
I don't remember anything about this so m asking-
Were we supposed to save a copy of the data sheet that he had filled and later sent?
Which documents are we supposed to take along with us? I don't find anything at home related to the call.
PLz reply soon! I have the interview tomorrow.
You are supposed to take a copy of the call letter which came by post as they cross check your roll number with that. Apart from that, they also look for valid date of birth proof, 10,12th mark sheets and college mark sheet.
No need for data sheet. only the call letter.
sidjstar SaysCan Someone Please clarify how much before the reporting time we are supposed to be present there.
You can come 15 mins before the reporting time to be safe. But the process is getting delayed by at least 30-45 mins for everyone.

I only have the call letter that was sent by Email and there is no roll number written on that.
