Lets say it was an 'out of the box' interview Centre- Brainstorm Consulting, BangaloreTime - 26th Feb 1:30XAT - 79.58Xth - 79.8XIIth - 66.66B.E (Mech) - 5719 months of experience in IT + quite a lot of ex-curricular.GD Topic - What is your realistic view/vision of industries in India in 2025/2026?We were 10 in the GD. (4 girls, 6 guys) Everyone got around 5-10 seconds for an intro, in some cases even shorter. Then 5 minutes to discuss the topic. Luckily, it did not turn into a fish market. I was the third to speak, but it seemed like the GD was less than 5 minutes. Ended pretty soon. Then 5 minutes to summarize.PI -2 panelists. For now, I will name them P1 and P2.P2 - Tonse...Me - Sir, my name is Supreet. Tonse is just the name of the native place.P2 - Ah, ok....So, which all calls have you received?Me - ToldP2 was noting down. P2 - So, in the scenario where you are selected for all, which would you choose?Me - Sir, I am not being diplomatic. My first choice is GIM itself.P2 looks at my acads.P2 - Just 57 in BE. Very poor. Xth ok, XIIth bhi ok.. But so less in VTU? I am sorry but you are rejected.P1 - Also, 79.58 in XAT.P1 - In PUC, you have 400. This is out of?Me - Sir, 600.P1 - I see you have failed Engg. Maths, I as well as II.Me - (sheepish)P2 - That's very bad.P1 - You have done badly in other subjects also. (Points out to my remaining backlogs. There were many.)P2 - Very poor. How did you finish your B.E? (Looks at my XAT scorecard) Very less. only 58 in Quants? How will I teach you management? You will have to convince me.Me - Sir, I have learnt my lessons. Working hard in my company now.P2 - Are you even serious about this?Me - Yes, Sir, I am serious about pursuing MBA.P2 - What is your perception of life?Me - Sir, as in?P2 - In general yaar...Me - Sir, we all have one life. Enjoy to the maximum, and work hard.P1 - (laughs) We can see you have enjoyed during your B.E.Me - (sheepish)P2 - So, you will come to Goa and enjoy by the looks of it. (laughs)P2 - So, tell me about yourself.Me - I was born and bought up in Muscat, till 8th std..P2 intervenes..P2 - Muscat??Me - Yes, Sir, till 8th Std. I moved to Mangalore. I have completed my engineering from Canara Engineering College, and I am presently working in Bolas Intelli Solutions, a small IT firm in Mangalore. I am extremely passionate about football...P2 - Tell me about your family.Me - ToldP2 - What did your elder sister study?Me -Told.P1 - So, do you have a girlfriend? Me - Sir, I was in a relation earlier.P2 - When did you breakup?Me - Sir, around March-April last year.P2 - What was the reason for the breakup?Me - Sir, I haven't yet deciphered it yet.P2 - Huh?P1 - I think he means to say he hasn't analysed the reason yet.Me - I haven't been able to find a single absolute reason, sir.P2 - So, why haven't you found another girlfriend yet?Me - Sir, after that phase I was into CAT/XAT preparation.P2 - Do you think girls are a distraction.Me - Sir, to some extent.P2 - Why haven't you been in a relation since?Me - Sir, that's what, I got busy with exam preparations.P1 - Is it because of the lack of opportunities?Me - No Sir, there are plenty of opportunities actually. (Both smile) P2 has a look at my salary.P2 - So, you earn this much (amount)?Me - Yes, sir that's right.P1 - You are handsome enough, earn a salary, then why lack of opportunities?Me - Sir...P2 intervenes.P2 - See, even we don't have opportunities. But, you are saying there is no lack of opportunities.Me - Sir, you are from Goa, so I think there should be plenty of opportunities. (Both laugh)P2 - So, do you drink?Me - Yes, sir ocassionally .P2 - What do you drink?Me - The usual, sir. Beer, vodka...P2 - Whiskey?Me - Yes, sir.P1 - How ocassionally?Me - Sir, weekly or fortnightly..P2 - So, you are coming to Goa for the drinks and the girls?? (Both laugh) Both are available in plenty in Goa. Me - (sheepish) P2 - So, tell me, why you want to come to GIM? Me - Sir, I will prove to be a good manager.(Both laugh, and I am like damn) P2 - Prove? Everyone says that.P1 - You won't be a manager there. Just a student.Me - Yes, sir, I meant a good management student.P2 - I am still not convinced. I will give you 1 minute time to convince me that you are a potential MBA.Me - Sir, I may not have good acads. But, I have proved myself elsewhere. I was part of the management team of a revolutionary hybrid car project, where we used an autorickshaw engine and the hub motor of a yo-bike. I handled most management aspects, from financial to personal to parts procurement etc. I was also event head for college fests, and I organized treasure hunt, with 25 volunteers under me.Also, I was the chief editor of the college magazine, Sir.P2 - Tell me some place where you cheated despite being a manager. Me - I haven't really had that kind of situation sir.P2 - Then you are not fit to be a manager.Me - Sir, but I haven't yet encountered such a situation where I had to cheat.P2 receives a call.P1 - Have you manipulated anyone? Me- Sir, as in convinced someone to get some work done?P1 - No, cheated or manipulated?Me - No Sir, not really.P1 - You have lost your chance. Me - Sir, could you give me a minute to recall.P1- OK.Me - (after 10 seconds) Sir, there was this one instance where we had quoted a wrong estimate for our project. Our actual budget was 60,000 Rs, but it eventually went up to 75,000 Rs. But, when we were going out for asking funds from potential sponsors, we quoted a figure of just 55,000 Rs.P1 - Why did you quote the wrong amount?Me - Sir, if we had quoted a huge amount, people would get skeptical about the project.P1 - So, this is how you got the money?Me - Sir, we also had some alumni in our college who gave us some money. And, we also put in a lot of effort and a lot of our money. In fact, at one stage we were at dire straits.P1 - This is how you say you completed your project.Me - Yes, sir. We did put a lot of effort and our own money into it.P2 - So, have you read any management book in the past 1 or 2 weeks?Me - No, sir. Just started reading a novel.P2 laughs. P2 - Novel, huh?You need to read management books, you know. How else will you be a good manager? Anyways, which novel?Me - Sir, just started reading Rozabal Line.P2 - What is it about?Me - Just finished 20 pages, Sir. Not yet fully read it.P2 - Do you read newspapers? Which one?Me - Yes, Sir. The Hindu.P2 - Tell me some fresh news from yesterday evening.Me - Sir, the Finmeccanica controversy. Colonel Tyagi is found guilty.P2 - Hmm...scams...P2 - So, tell me what the others outside have been speaking about our interview process.Me - Told.P2 - Ok, thank you. Any questions, Sir?P1 - No, that's it I guess.Me - Thank You, Sir. ( I stand up)P2 - So, how was your interview?Me - Sir, it was different.P2 - Not good? Me - Sir, it was a great experience, for sure.(Both Laugh)P2 - Hope to see you soon at GIM! Me (leaving) Hopefully Sir! (I thank both the Sirs and leave)I have to tell I may attend a thousand interviews, but I will never come across such an unique interview ever. I feel the panel was friendly, as well as truthfully blunt. They tried to put me in a bit of a corner, and gauged how well I responded to the situation. Well, that's what I think.How do you guys rate my experience? Do I stand a chance with my poor grads? I certainly hope so. Lots of hopes on GIM. Gave my best. Everything left to Almighty! Note - Bangalore candidates, you may get confused with the location. You can get down at Majestic, and then take a rick. Say Malleswaram Ground. Look around the place. It is on the first floor of a building. Not a very large board. There is a Shri Sagar Tiffins Hotel nearby, which is pretty famous!Also, keep your GIM id, XAT id, and CMAT id handy.ATB to the rest of the candidates!

Apart from the fact that that we were judged mostly on the introduction and conclusion part and only Mr. Rai was judging us.[My name was 1st on the GD list but among the 12 students present I was the 2nd last to be called for PI]Mr. Rai (R) only asked questions, the other one didn't ask anything.R: You should be stressed as well as amazed as you were the first person to start the GD process and is being called so late
