by what time in the second half the GD/PI process getting over??
Hi Puys,
had my GD/PI on 20th 1pm slot.
My experience goes like this........
Reached iit roorkee in morning..satyed at frnd's room...same hostel as assigned for people coming for PI's...i think the process for registration was very smooth..no hassles...all my certificates were checked and verified in 10 minutes flat....then went for presentation on DOMS..and query sesion with HOD.
After that went to another room where we had a gala timw with seniors 
...really man..it was awesome...they were so cool..evrything from cricket to mumbai was discussed at that time..a very special thanks to all the seniors...:clap:
Then went for GD/PI session..we got two topics to choose from..don't remember second one...we chose " IIT's are killing creativity in the race for professionalism"...
7 min for open house..3 for summary..7-8 people in a group..
Had a good session...chipped in with 2-3 points in b/w..otherwise was mum coz i think ppl in my group were too aggressive..
One of the guys started with how IIT's were top notch institutes...and then it was picked by a girl mentioning that creativity was a personal thing and iit's did give platform for anyone to come up....me too supported the point stating rigorous curriculum was needed for bright engineers so we could not compromise on education and discipline standards 
...blah blah..then the grp went off track wid people discussing creativity and professionalism..in other fields.....
after 7 min a bell was rung to signal that we had to start with summary...chipped in with 1 pt there..overall..i was satisfied...:D
P.S : Seniors had already told us not to create a fish-market situation so it helped
P.P.S. : Sorry for the long post..will come up with PI xp in evening...gonna
crash
senior's
by what time in the second half the GD/PI process getting over??
The second slot got over by 5 pm for the first 2 days...
My GD/PI was on 19th in the AN (1 PM ) slot.
Reached IITR early morning, hostel room was assigned smoothly.
Reached DOMS at 12:30, the registration was smooth and was over in less than 10 mins
There was a presentation by the seniors and a Q&A; session with the HOD after which we were taken in batches for GD and PI
I had my GD first. Group of 7, two topics were given
1)Honesty is good as long as it is not an impediment (almost this :D)
2)Players should be given an opportunity to question the decisions by umpires
We chose the second topic and the discussion was nice. The smaller group size avoided fish market scenario.
For PI there were so many profs (dont even remember the count), one lady professor (lp) who asked most of the questions there was one slightly bald prof (BP) and one sitting in the middile of the panel (MP)
LP: Read out my application back wards from graduation till 10th. mentioned about my work ex (I have been working in an IT major for the last 4 yrs). Will you take leave if you are selected from your org for two years?
me: No, and gave some reasons blah blah, said why I wanted to do MBA, management consulting etc etc
BP: So will you start your own business
me: may be some years later but not immeditely..
BP: So who will employ you for such a job?
me: mentioned some companies including my own company X
BP: Does X does that kind of job (management consulting)? I thot they were into IT only
me: They do but only a very small percentage;
BP: How do you know? Do you work there?
Me; Yes :D
LP: Your company pays less, why didnt you change your job for four yeras?
me; gave some funda about learnigs, growth and onsite opportunities
BP: Have you been to onsite?
me; yes, Uruguay
BP: some questions on Uruguay which I answered. asked about football, I answered but then told I am not much into it :D
BP: some questions on hobbies, picked up travelling grilled a bit on that :(
LP: Are you married?
me: no :(
LP: When are you planning to get married
me: gave some fundas
MP: Why it took 4 years for you to decide to go for higher studies?
me: Again fundas...
MP: What will be the hindrances that you will face in coming back to studies from work
me: some fundas, may be should start living with limited means etc etc.. some cross questions on that
BP: What type of books you read?
me: Mentioned the difficulty of being good and some discussion followed
With this the interview was finished :D
I would like thank the seniors out there for being helpful throughout the process,accommodation, registration, clearing our doubts here on pagalguy, I even saw seniors ready to give there jackets for those who did not expect the cold weather out there. Hope to be your junior soon 😁

me: I gleefully accepted the toffee and thanked all the panelists and came out...
GD...
We were given two choices...
1. Women reservation
2. Too many news channel creating sensationalism...(something of the sort)
We chose the second topic...
1 min to think,7 mins to discuss and 1 min to summarize.
I started the GD, and made two further contributions. One of the most civilized GDs that I have ever attended and everybody got a chance to speak at least two times...
All in all, am satisfied with my GD/PI. Hoping for the best.
There is another (bigger) thread for the same

Moderators if you could close one of these threads......
helo everyone,
Had my interview on 21st Feb 8.30 am. Reached there a day in advance n stayed in a nearby hotel(was accompanied by dad). The registration process was smooth n it got over in about an hour(for a batch of 60). Then a video was shone highlighting the pros of IIT rookree(impressive video, hats offs to seniors). After the presentation we were kept waiting in room n people were called either for interview or GD.
My Gd topic was "SMS ARE MORE ROMANTIC THAN LETTERS"
Really cool GD people were laughing n so were the teachers.....7 ppl 8-9 min everbody spoke quite decently. Mazzzaa aa gaya GD dekar.....
My profile: Gud acads in school,gud extra curriculars, decent in collge, electrical engg. working in power sector for 2 years, gen. cat, jmet 521
Then was the interview....
6 profs were sitting. From left I'll refer them as P1, p2....p6.
p5 & p6 were continuously chatting with each other, I tried to engage them in the answer as well but they seem uninterested, however, they were listening to me in the later half of the interview.
p4: read out my profile,(X,XII,BE marks, my work ex) he then asked me to tell me more about my profile...
Me: myself gyan gyan gyan.....(gud work ex) for 2 mins...
P2: tell me y there is drop in voltage in transmission...(actually misheard the question and sought clarification ddnt expected so easy question to be put up for grab)
Me: ...myself gyan gyan....they were listening quite seriously I vomited more stats abt the power sector....
P1: Wats hall effect?? Ny device working on its principle ??
Me: 
Flunked...no idea, gracefully told sorry I dont Know it now, though I have read it in my Engg.
P3: View on India power generation & capacity??
Me: gyan gyan....
P2: Why should we not emplasis on renewable sources of energy n not on fossil fuel based energy sources....
Me: I justified...
Dats all...no Y mba, tel me about urslf, hobbies, strength weaknes....
over in 8-9 mins flat...Actually later I realised it was quite a high powered interview questions were prompt n I responed the same way...sometimes I spoke more than what is required...(people plz refrin from it)
I dont knw why it completed so early........
Gearing up for kanpur, khrpur, madrs....
Has anyone taken the attested copies of yours?
they have not taken any copy from me.. and what's the point in bringing all the copies attested...
Had my GD/PI/Experience of a Lifetime today @IIT R
About Me:
Name: TJ, JJ, fotugrapher
From: Delhi
10th: 72%
12th: 60%
Grads: 77.8%
The Journey
Yesterday {21st Feb 2010} had a PG meet in Delhi... Returned home late, then packed my bags, took a cab and went straight to Roorkee! The road was 
, too much traffic and too much fog. Somehow all farmers decided that today is the best day to get the harvested crop of Sugarcane to the mills so there was an endless queue of tractors on highway 
After few hours, and sleepless travel, reached Roorkee at 11am, geared myself up in a nearby hotel and went to the campus
The Campus
The travel was finally worth it. The campus was Huge! {Unlike my prev. GD/PI at IRMA, where the campus was 60 acres... }, IIT R is the first college in India to start Engineering! It was established in 1847 Felt proud to be in such an historic place.
Here are some Pics... 
Then went to DoMS and headed over to registration desk...
There was a short queue present for document verification, which was done in just 15 minutes.
Then after 40mins, we were briefed about IIT R. 
Then Prof. V.K. Nangia himself addressed our queries. He was quiet candid in his response, specially when asked about the difference in packages offered for freshers vs. Work Ex. people.
Interview...
I was the first one to be interviewed. The panel had 3 people, one of them was Prof. V.K. Nangia. Felt really honored to talk with such an learned person.
Questions which were asked:
Tell us about yourself.
That's it, they asked me one question and then it was more of discussion. 😁 I was myself, what I am and what I want to be. Told them about my Photography, career switch, NGO's I've worked for and my Goals. Later few questions from Academics came up as well, regarding Network Security and Fuzzy Logic. Handled them.
For those who still got their interview left in any IIT, All I would say is, be prepared with your academics, and be yourself.
Lecture Hall 1
Yes! This is part of the orientation process. We had to wait there for 1 hour till our GD started. Talked a lot with the seniors, they were nice and friendly. Answered all the queries, also then we started testing the six sigma of separation and most of us knew each other by common friends, college or hometown.... Really a small world. They helped us relax before the GD... I also met my IIT R counterpart, the campus photographer 
Also the seniors has quite vibrant profiles, Vamsisomesh had recently been placed in BHEL as HR, and shaadi ka plan real soon Had fun interacting... Here is a picture of all seniors...
Group Discussion
Seniors first briefed us about what is expected from us in GD, how to behave and talk. 
Our Group had 6 People...
2 Girls, Both from Delhi, Both named Swati One from IGIT and another from JSS.... Also there were Two Tarun 
We had a nice, non fish market, non violent and really peaceful GD....
Topic was: Is eCommerce best thing for India?
I think I was the only one speaking against and rest all were in favor. It lasted for 7 minutes and in end 1 min was given to conclude. We talked about a variety of things like eChaupal, retail Market, Rural education etc. overall, it was good.
Then Over! Whole process lasted for just 2 hours. and was well organized.
Then roamed around in campus and clicked..... Some shots
:cheers:
TJ
