@mightyaakash said:@pal_22 do we need to go in suit?????
It would be good that way.
In case your suit is not ready you could use trousers, shirt and formal shoes too.
Avoid Jeans.
@mightyaakash said:@pal_22 something that we should keep in mind for the gd/pi??? dos and donts
Don't lie (they would know eventually).
Be ready for cross questions.
They might ask questions regarding your Grad subjects (especially if Btech)
General questions like : why mba, why *your choice/preference* etc etc

@mightyaakash My PI was a disaster....
I had to wait for 15-20 mins outside the PI hall because of Panelists' tiffin break
When I entered, they were just bent on Rejection.... Licensed to Kill....
P1 : So, Pankaj right ? Tell me about Yourself ?
Answered.
P1 : (Interrupting) So you are working ? (Thats when all my hopes were shattered. All the panelits stared at me as if I did a crime ) Whats your job profile ?
Answered.
P1 : In your BBA, whats your fav. subject ?
Answered : HR (Obviously)
P1 : Whats the difference between Personnel Management & Human Resource Management.
Answered but P1 was not convinced.
P1 : Tell me one thing. I am the Marketing Head. If I required 10 more sales person, will I get it ?
Answered : If your appropriate approval and business justification, I will make sure my recruitment team provides your 10 sales person within deadline.
P1 : So If I ask for 10, I will get 10 ?
Answered Yes (He wanted me to say 4-5 or something like that.... but I didn't bargain... Common guys If he genuinely needs extra person, then we should give him ri8).
P2 : Pankaj , What do you think is better, u working now gettting promotion in 2-3 years or leaving job, doing MBA and then getting job.
Answered :
P3 : Governor of West Bengal
Forgot
P3 : Finance Minister
Answered
P3 : Commerce Minister
Forgot
P3 : Vice President
Forgot.....
They asked me to leave....
I guess, this is a negative PI and won't be joining XISS....
ATB PUYS...
They are shooting questions from wherever they want....
I didn't go through GK assuming they would ask on my job profile since I have work experience......
@pankaj.jena1988 Hopes r still there Pankaj! u never know wts going on their mind,have to stay that u were one of the strong performer as I watched u through these few weaks!..never lose hope dear 😃 optimism is the key to stay happy (free advice) ATB
@annewannafly All my hopes are lost dear....
If XISS is gone, I can't do MBA this year.....
You had a gr8 GD/PI ..(as per your post)..
Whats ur name ?? Because Even I had GD/PI yesterday ......
ATB .....
guys ne idea by when dy will declare the final results...
@pankaj.jena1988 i am on the same boat as u pankaj..mere ko to 3 sawaal puche aur nikal dia coz i couldnt ans 1st and 2nd
@pankaj.jena1988 Hey, let us not get demoralized considering that PI wasn't good as per our expectations. There are various factors and it is not a prerequisite that we have to know answers to all the questions that they throw at us. They want so see how we deal under stress. My first question was a bouncer and P1 said " you're from this background and you don't know the term? " as if it was a shame to not know certain terms. and it lasted for 6 mins. And so was the case with so many of us who got interviewed post lunch, coz they were trying to wind it up. So don't speculate. Stay positive. :)
i was grilled for half an hour, they asked me a lot of questions and even grilled because of my low score in grads as i am from cu i have only 59% in total. dreams for hr seem to be down the road now....even after having a high XAT score.my gd was in kolkata 21st.
@pankaj.jena1988 dnt u worry... be optimistic. pi carried 25% weightage only. so u have a chance until the final list is announced. infact everyone has chance till the very last minute.....
by the way what was ur gd topic????
dude i am getting a bit nervous with my gd/pi coming closer....
