@19rahul91 thanks.. :)
date-20th feb
venue- indian social institute, new delhi
xat percentile-95.63

ours was batch number 1.

gd topic- relevance of gandhism in todays scenario.


we were given 2 min to think and 18 mins for GD. a grl started the gd before 2 min and was asked to stop. when they asked us to begin. i started the gd by defining gandhism and highlighting today's society problem corruption, violence etc. after that everybody chipped in and we had a decent gd .

PI- I was the 1st one to be interviewed.

there were 3 people in the panel say P1, P2 AND P3

p1- tell me about urself?
answered.

p1-why you opted for hrm only?
answer-- as i did my grad in management i was specially inclined towards the hr sujects also im extrovert, like meeting new people and feels happy when i motivate people tp achieve anything. all these qualities coincide with the qualities needed to be a gud hr manager and hence HR.

p1- recently some event happened in manesar plant of maruti what was the reason behind it?
answered

p1- what aspect of hr deals with these unfortunate events that took place in manesar?
answer- labour and industry relationship management.

p1- who is a knowledgeable employee?
answered

p1- who is an empowered employee?
answered.

p1-what is the role of labour relations manager?
answer- gave four points( p1 looked satisfied).

p1- im done asked p2 to go ahead.

p2- who runs xiss ranchi?
answer-dr alexius ekka.

p2- do u think that religion and management can co exist?
answer- yes sir, religion is related to the internal belief of a person the rituals and spirituality. while management is the responsibilities and the duties of a person.
religion is something that a person choose to practice himself while management is something that he has to practice in order to survive even at the lowest level of life. we need management even to carry out our day to day activity.
so as religion and management dont have conflicting interest they can co exist.

p2- so according to you anyone can go and pray in the office?
answer- in india everyone is free to express himself so yes but then your practices shouldnt hinder the work of others and also shouldn't stop you from performing your office duties.
praying peacefully for 5 min in office is alright but you cant take a pundit to the office and perform a havan dere that wud be highly inappropriate.( everybody had a laugh about this pandit thing).

p2- what is ritualistic religion?
answered
p2- im done asked pe3 to ask quesions.

p3- do u think that management is just common sense?
answer- sir i think common sense is required to practice management but management is much more than common sense as it involves all the facets of a business that is HR, MARKETING, FINANCE etc.

p3- your mother is working or a housewife.
answer- house wife.

p3- is she one of the best manager you will ever come accross?
answer- yes sir she is definitely.

p3- but she never learnt management?
answer- sir she dont have and mba degree but she did learn management trade by practicing her work day in and day out. in fact she is an MA in economics and that help her to manage the finance of the house and she is pretty gus at it. so i think any knowledge gained help us in a way or the other common sense just comes in to channelise that knowledge to be used fruitfully.

p1- what other calls do u have?
answer- 5 new iims, imtg , gim , tapmi.

p1- whats ur 1st preference?
answer- 5 new iims.

p1- do u have call from IIM ranchi?
answer- yes sir i do have.

p1- have you applied to hr course of iim ranchi?
answer- yes sir i have.

p1- gud u may go now.

later realised after seeing the picture of xiss ranchi director that p2 was the director himself and i told him his name when asked who runs XISS ranchi

Oh even I was faced by the same que and replied that it is run by jesuit since I forgot the name of the director. Now as u pointed out I remember he was sitting in the middle and asked that question twice.
