FMS vs XLRI. Which is better?

Do I have any chance ? 98.74 GEN

MY CAT 14 99.37 FMS PI on 15/4 BTech any chance of convertion 

Hi..Have they announced the 85-15 somewhere this year or we are speculating just from the last year's trends?

If yes,please post the link in the comments.

Thanks.

Any checklist to go by? FMS form, Call letter + the usual documents! 

Anyone from CW3 or CW4 or CW5  i.e. the hopeless bunch attending the interview ?

Guys who gave the interview today, what docs are needed? What about photocopies?

A request to all who had their interview today: please share your PI-extempo questions here so that people having it on 16th,17th can prepare well.

in extempore, sometimes the topic can be very absurd like "butterflies", "maya","shoes" etc, according to some experts since time is very little we should always adhere to the topic in hand and say as much as possible while others say it's better if we bring new points to the table like linking butterflies or the life of butterfly from a business perspective etc. Can we deviate a bit during the interview ( if short of points ) by bringing diff perspectives or that will be penalised ?

93.58 obc female.my chances of conversion?

Can anyone please paste the link of extempore session.


what was the last year cut off for fms (scaled score cut off)?

Any extempore session on at this time?

Dear Aspirants,

Just keep calm, be confident and don't forget to smile! You'll do good. Hoping to see you on the other side. Wishing you all the very best!

PS. Carry all your necessary proofs (those mentioned in the proforma) and also proofs of everything you have mentioned in the form so as to back it up.

What all documents do we need to carry for the interview ? I read somewhere that originals are required. But nothing was mentioned clearly/ Is xerox of any document required ? I don't even have a xerox of proforma.

@amank2168 @aman_bedi bros please post your experience after the interview, I have mine at 2.30 pm today! 

Were we supposed to get a confirmation after sending the proforma and documents .?? Because it was said in the mail that the call is subject to verification.

Those who are done with their interviews,

Other than the originals of all relevant certificates, is there anything else we would need to carry to the interview? Photocopies, print out of proforma or photographs?

@prachiic maybe you can help out

Thanks!

FMS interview experience.

OA - 99.68

3 panelists. Two males, one female.

Entered.

P: Introduce Yourself.

A: Work Ex. College. Squash. Reading. Mythology. Fantasy. Blah Blah...

*Pause*

(Maybe they expect me to speak more)Trying to diversify my reading genres and enter more mainstream literature. Blah Blah

P: Speak on Mythology and Management (Extempore)

A: Mahabharat reference. Related Dharma and karma to ethics and results.

Ramayan reference. Related Ram giving up Sita for Ayodhya to a manager having to listen to his team, incorporate suggestions and ultimately sacrifice for the greater good.

P: Where are you working?

A: Cyber Security blah blah....

P: What are the recent happenings?

A: GitHub Denial Of Service Attack

British Airways Frequent Flyers Account Compromised.

Talked about withdrawal of Section 66A in the domestic Scenario.

P: Is 100% cyber security possible?

A: No sir with the speed at which technology is increasing (Moore's law reference) there is a higher incentive to find loopholes in existing infrastructure. As long as the cost associated as reward for an attack is higher than the cost of the attack itself, systems can never rest easy.

P: Do you think IPL is good for Indian Cricket?

A: Talked about reading the news yesterday about a guy called Hooda. Must have always been a constant performer in Ranji but it is the IPL that has made his name all over the world. Stressed on shining the spotlight on our domestic talent.

P: Okay Aman Thank You!

Difficult Extempore topic navigated. Looks like at least a WL.

Extempore - Men in Black 

Spoke something that struck at that time. (below average) 

P1 - so you like black?

Yes sir, favourite colour

P1 - like black coffee and black tea?

Yes

P1  -  black label? 

Yes sir.  

P1 - black gold 

Talked about coal and why we need to look for alternative sources. 

P1-challenges faced in developing alternate resources 

Spoke something related. 

P1 - your opinion on conspiracy theory "traditional powers hampering growth of alternative sources"

I agreed with him and gave example of shale in oil industry

P1-so in how many years India can be completely dependent on alternative sources?

Not in near future. May be 15 years down the line because of all the work being done.

P1- name three Indian companies (and from here interview fucked up)

Instead of naming traditional power house companies, I mis understood as sports companies and named three. They laughed and then I took my time and answered reliance ONGC. But took a lot of time. 

P1 -hobbies (the same question which helped me in all my rest interviews fucked up here) 

Talked about sports mentioning football predominantly 

P3 lady - who won Richard hadlee award. (medal and award confusion fucked me up) 

Couldnt answer. Lowest part of interview 

P3-do you enjoy mcculum name? 

Yes mam. Now got that she was talking about Richard hadlee medal. 😔

P1 - do you like mcculun? (no clue what it is)

No idea. He said you like black label and I thought you had good taste.

I again said don't know sir.

P1 - why should fms take you (after the above two questions,  was expecting this)

Tried to explain

P2 finally - so that means you lack stability.

Already I was like this interview was gone, so in a high pitch voice contradicted him explaining about it.

P2 - other calls?

Said old iims.

Thank you and interview ended.

Sure shot reject. One question about cricket fucked it up and  for a sports fan, nothing can be more worse 😔
