Cheers..
hi all...
so i take the honours of making the first post of my GD/PI exp...
first i will explain the structure of GD&PI..; there were for members in the panel... including one lady.. Mrs. Sarita
we were in a grp of 9..
first we were given abt 20 sec to collect our thoughts on the topic.. and clockwise asked our views on the topic... a brief in abt 20 sec.. and then started the GD for 8min... and then Asked to summarise 1 by 1 in anti clockwise... and after that we were told to write our views of how the GD was just to check our writing skills.. this was specifically mentioned..
the topic for our batch was "If I was the finance minister of India, I would...." and the topic for second batch was something about agriculture...
our GD was quiet decend.. even though it was only for just 8min.. everyone spoke quiet well...
Then started the PI's... 2 interviews.. one tech & one HR..
i was third in my grp...
HR interview..
asked why mech to IT and then IT to MBA
Some general ques regarding mech.. very basic like why petrol engine over elec cars..
and how is petrol produced.. i just gave a very general ans and he said ok...
then i was asked which other calls.. and i gave an honest ans.. then asked which calls would u take.. was also asked CAt percentile.. how did u find CAT & XAT..
why MBA?
what skills would it add?
what are the issues faced by u at work.. have u worked with lady co workers.. what are the problems that u have faced..
how was ur other PI which u faced?
very normal and decent... everyone was smiling all the time... had a feel good factor when i came out...
Tech interview..
was asked about the GD.. asked how u thought it went.. what more points.. why chidambaram is a good FM.. asked about railway budget.. kuch nahi pata tha.. pucha ki laloo in IIM-A me class liya tha kya bole the (hamari bains ko danda kyu mara..) then was asked what excatly did laloo do to make a loss making indian railway to a profit making one.. did it matter that laloo was there.. or koi b hota to ker leta kya..
then was asked about my proj and work exp..which other calls.. why GIM.. how did u come to know about GIM.. why did i come to goa for interview when i was staying at Pune.. how did u find GIM... then was sked what had i prepared for Interview.. and was asked ques on that... what qualities would u gain after an MBA...
then was asked abt the repo of GIM outside... and some more very general stuff..
i would rate my GD performance as an avg. 6-7/10
HR interview 9/10
Tech interview 8/10 (becoz of railways & budget)..
i hope i get through..
one of us asked the panel when would the results be out.. teh reply was towards the end of march and may be 3rd week..
suggestion to other puys.. do read up on budget and rail budget... quiet a few ques are being asked and even the GD was fin related...
i had the honour of staying at GIM for 1 night.. and believe me guys... its awesome.. seiors are so great and helpful... the view of Mandavi is too good... the coll has been completed Wi-Fi ed.. the placements are awesome.. this year yahoo had come for summers and offered a cool 45K /month...
so guys dont take things lightly.. 120 people out of 1200 ... the competetion is tough...
tc guys...
and special thanx to Abhishek srivastav the senior with whom i was staying...
best of luck to all...
Great..
So the GD PI experiences are coming up..

hi guys,
me was in teh afternoon slot and had just arrived back home in the morning.
I am a goan and got a call coz of that.
me only got 83 % in xat.anyhow me reached the venue pretty early and a lot of seniors were talkin to us and peppin us up. that was really nice.
rahul came and spoke to us and he was really cool.
there were only about 13 guys in the afternoon slot and most of them had like about 1.5 years of work ex and a few including me had about 2.5 years. there were some freshers too.overall a healthy mix.
we were split into 2 grous of 7 and 6. i was in teh second group and our topic for the GD was "why are indian companies going global".
we had a good gd and there was no fish market. me mainly stated this happening since indians have been proving themselves and we are leaders in a lot of foelds like IT and management,etc and now the world trusts us and it is coz of this trust we are going global. the indian and foreing investors and banks trust our abilities now and hence we have the capital and we can go global. apart from that i agreed with some other guys and added that we can deliver quality and cheap goods together. mentioned china and that we are doing better coz of our abilities.
me dunno if me did well or badly. spoke well but not sure about the matter. then me waited for my PI. the first one was very very short. not sure if this is a good or a bad thing.Seniors , please comment.
-i was asked what do i do in my company.
told them that i am a sofware engineer and apart from that i am invovled in the foundation for the needy (in the company) and also am a FUN MANAGER. these guys heard me as FUND Manager and then asked me what do i do as a FUND manager. i said i do stuff to boost morale and organize fun stuff and to control the attrition rate, there were confused then me said i am a FUN mangare again and then things became clearer. :)
next i was asked whwat do i do to ensure quality before deliveringa product.i dont know but i corrected him and said that we dont delvier products since mine is a serivices company and anyhow before delivering the code to the cleint we do testinfg and blah blah... dont know if me acted over smart....... again seniors please comment.....
i was asked about my cat % and me said it is like 73 somethin.... so not too happy there i guess.
them me was asked what do i do as a MODULE LEAD and me explained. that was it. nothin more. it was all over in like 8-10 mins.
when me went for the next interview. i was asked about my engg marks and where i would rate myself in my classs. me have got like 67% agggrgate and i told them that that is quite good since the higest was 74. and in my class of engg i was a average student and would rate my selft as 30 out of a class of 60. then he asked why did my company recruit me with these marks and me explained the rounds and everythin. i was asked why do i not do a mba from SITM (since me telecom engg) and that GIM can only offer a general mba. me said me want this mba since me want to specialise in marketing and move ahead in that field. have been out of telecom after college and want to move ahead in IT now and not go back and foucs on telecom again. he said me wastin my education. i said in a way yes maybe. since me not using the telecom knowledge me have gained in college but then again engg thot me to think clearly and put ideas on paper and has made me who i am and so am not wastin my education.
and again that was it. nothin more asked.
so guys, alll i can say is read up and brush on the the basics since a lot of other guys were asked about their engg subjects and all (Even those with work ex).
Seniros. please help me out. after reading about my experiecnce, does it seem taht they were interested or is it the other way round and that they sure of not takin me since me got a lowere xxat and cat score than everone else in my slot and then teh acamdemics ddint impress them much either. about the xtra curricuals which were my strongs points, i was not asked.... so what do u feel ???????
and i am sorry that i did not meet all of you guys but i left yesterday itself since i work in pune and had to be back at work today mornin......
cheers...!!!!
best of luck to all the others.......
