I have a problem.
I belong to NC-OBC, i have a photo copy and a scanned copy of the latest certificate(valid certificate). But, i dont have the original. will that be a problem??
I joined on 17th May 2016 but payslips started from June. Because my company said 13 day payslip for May is not required. Does June payslip and Last month payslip suffice along with the joining letter?
Hi guys. I had put my 12th percentage as 91.66 in the CAT form but my actual percentage is 91.67 as per marksheet. Should I drop a mail to the admission team about the change? If not, is it okay if I fill the 12th percentage as 91.66 in the PI form? Please reply asap.

Hello
While filling the form of CAT 2016, i entered my 12th percentage as 95.75 (best of 4).
While filling the interview form ,the system required 5 subjects so that makes it 95.60 (5 subjects)
There was a remark written beside my marks of 12th-check percentage.
Is there any need to mail this? please provide with the respective email id for this issue.
Can this be solved by telling this to interview panel?
Shall i attach a copy of marksheet to my interview form?

PERSONAL INTERVIEW- 2 panelists P1-ALWAYS ANGRYOR A QUESTIONING FACE-(MALE-IN LATER 40s) P2-CALM AND WAS SMILING THROUGHOUT-(MALE-IN EARLIER 50s) and me-M
M-sir, may i come in
P2 closed the door and just told me to be seated..i greeted both of them good evening
P2-so prateek gupta right ??
M- yes sir
P1- so guptas come in OBC category ??
M- sir , it depends on region, at some places there are baniya, at some marwari at some places OBC.
P2- so where r u from ??
M- sir i am from a place near lucknow, my father works in NTPC.
P1- what is the name of that place ???
M- unchahar
P1- what were u thinking, that we dont know the place.. we know it very well
M-sir, it is such a small place , i assumed that you will not be knowing it !
P2-so why mba right after graduation ??
M- sir, i got a campus placement in grofers.
P1- WHAT ??
M- sir, grofers... so earlier i thought of gaining one or two years work ex and then go for mba, but later i decided not to join the company and go for mba ,as i thought of gaining a strong theoretical knowledge before entering the corporate world.
P1(CUTS HERE)- so why did you not appear in 2016 ?? why 2017 ??
M- sir i decided to go for MBA in jan-feb instead of doing job ... after having a discussion on it with my brother..
P2- what should we do yaar... peple come with experience and then say that i wanted to gain exp. so it will help me to know the environment, freshers come here that i want to first gain knwledge and then start working..hum kya kare...kisko le kisko na le.
M- sir what i feel that i dont have much knowledge about the sectors of management role, if i had done job in some company for some profile and then later during MBA would have discovered that the area in which i worked for a year or two was the area in which i was not really interested, then it would have been a total waste of 1-2 years there. i want to know first that which feild i am comfortable in during this PGP course and then decide to pursue it.
P2- suppose we both are candidates with same composite score and one with workex one is a fresher , whom will you select as an interviewer ???
M(was silent for 25-30 seconds)- sir if the candidate with workex is not having any relevant exp. in management feild, then i will go for fresher , otherwise the work ex guy.
P1(AGAIN CUTS IN MIDDLE)- what does your brother do ??
M- sir , he works as data stage admin in hsbc pune
P1- so did he do an MBA ???
M- no sir
P1- then how can he guide you that...you should do mba after graduation or after work ex
M- sir he didnt guide me.. we just dicussed about it and then i decide to do MBA and the enter the corporate world
P2- how is a MBA GRADUATE different from a normal graduate ??
M- sir , an MBA graduate will have abetter knowledge about the working of the different sectors of a firm and a specialization in his stream, so an MBA graduate can analyse any situation or market condition w.r.t firm more effectively.
P1(all of a sudden)- din pehle aata hai ki raat ??
SOME DICUSSION ON IT AND A BIT OF LAUGHING IN BETWEEN.I gave an asnwer that night comes first but they were not satisfied with the reasoning
P2- what other calls do you have??
M- iim i new iims mdi gurgaon imi delhi.
P2- no KOZI call ??
M- NO SIR , i didnt have workex
P2- there is not only one controllign factor, u have a bit low marks in graduation
M- yeah sir, that is a reason too.
P2- how will you calculate composite score and select candidates for the course out of 200-300 candidates.M- answered the processSOME GRILLING ON THIS QUESTION
P2- kk prateek so we are done, take a toffee.
P1- a pen aslo from there..
M- wished both witha smile and left the room by closing the door.
DONT KNOW WHAT TO MAKE OUT OF IT, NO ACADS NO CURRENT AFFAIRS NOTHING!! :/
ANY VIEWS ON IT ???
In nature of work section in form, do we have to describe our profile in few words or in detail?
Till what date we can fill work ex?
URGENT HELP - I have work experience certificate and no payslips. My work ex certificate states exact dates of joining and leaving as well as my gross monthly emoluments. I left job in march and it is next to impossible for me to get the payslips. Will the certificate suffice?
PI Experience:
Profile: CAT - 99.16 Work exp in NGO sector. Biotech engg. graduate. Decent Acads.
Two persons in the panel

Me: Answered about finding interests in the second year. Gave details of my pet project related to social sector.
P2: But no placement companies come to IIM-L from this sector.
Me: I am basically aiming at skills and expertise and will look for opportunities outside the campus if required. *Gave a few more details*
P1: Then I better not see you at the campus interviews. We are quite vindinctive too.
*laughter from their end*
I smiled too.
P2: Actually we look for peple who run after money.
Me: Explained my interests and need for managers in the social sector.
P1: But that is a huge shift from engg. to NGO sector. Why would you do that?
*in my head I was like, "how can I explain this any better* sab toh bol diya.
Me: Gave a response.
P2: Are you good at Math?
Me: Decent.
P2: Have you studied differential equations before?
Me: Don't remember Actually I am from biology background and did not have math in +2.
P2: First year biotech engg. me toh hoga?
Me: Haan bridge course me tha.
P2: Asked me a maxima minima question
Me: I don't know.
*Bouncer gaya question*
P2: Integration of logx?
Me: I don't know.
*In my head I was like, saat saal pehle padha tha, woh bhi first year me. Math kyun pooch rahe waise?*
P2: Have you studied statistics? Asked me about a few tests along with that.
Me: I don't know
*By now I am thinking, acads me toh kuch bhi nahi ho paya, core biotech se kuch nahi pooch rahe*
P2: Who is the Deputy Chairman of NITI Aayog?
Me: No Idea Sir.
*I was thinking, "ab bacche ke jaan loge kya"
P2: Which state are you from?
Me: Bihar
P2: Who is the Governor of Bihar?
Me: Ram Nath Kovind
*Finally kuch toh answer kiya. Felt like a tail end batsman scoring a run*
P2: Do you read newspapers?
Me: Yes
P2: Which one?
Me: The Hindu
P2: Who is the editor of The Hindu?
Me: No idea sir.
P2: It is there on the first page. What do you read?
Me: I usually read articles.
*abhi mujh me kahin baaki thodi si hai zindagi*
P2: What was the headline today?
Me: Told about the Tamil Nadu political updates and elections starting in Uttarakhand
P2: How many seats are there in Uttarakhand?
Me: I don't know sir.
*This was more like a finishing move because I was dead on the floor by now*
P2: Okay I am done. Asked P1 if she had any question.
P1: No.
P2: Okay thank you.
P1: We appreciate your efforts.
*I guess that's usually a consolation statement*
Said thank you, smiled and left.
Overall feelings: Itne saare 'I don't knowws!!!!' do question current affairs me bol paya. acads toh zero hai. Ab upar wala hi bacha sakta hai. Felt shattered.
Motivating comments are welcome. Thanks :)
