WAT TOPIC: NATIONAL ANTHEM BE PLAYED IN CINEMA HALLS?

Two interviewers in the panel, one maybe 30 years old, and other 50-60 years old.

P1: asked me to tell about myself,

Me: answered. they asked me to answer loudly since i was not audible to them.(which i did)

P2:went through my file and asked me the reason for low grades in college.

Me:answered

P1:so you have learnt economics and principles of management at college. Asked me questions from those.(asked me what are the principles of management and few other questions on the same)

Me:answered confidently(i brushed up on this topic the day before the interview)

P2:asked me question related to switch gear(the only core question).

Me:I said i dont know.

Me:I asked which books and they told me the PR cell will let me know.

P1:We are done, you can leave, all the best!

Me:Thank you sir.

A very strange interview.hardly 10-15 mins, no work ex related questions and not much core related question.

I was the last one to be called in my set and people before me were grilled for around 30-45 mins. 

I am confused, since this was my only old iim call and i would not be able to attend CAP interview. Will this effect my admission to any new or baby IIMs(not keeping any hopes for IIML), as I am not sure if i performed well at the interview, 

Anybody with similar experience or know people from the past who has had such a short-time interview and has converted any IIM?

Hey Puys I just want a clarification. 


My profile:

12th:93%

Work Ex:0

Grad:78.48

CAT %ile:99.46%ile


I have been shortlisted for only ABM.


Another friend of mine:

12th:92.6%

Work Ex:0

CAT%ile:99.38%ile

How can this be possible I didnt get a call for PGP?

Do we need to carry any CV to the interviews or only the form and other documents will do??

 I saw lot of people were sad when standard questions like "why mba" was not asked to them. So I thought I would share my 2 cents for what I feel about "why mba" question? Now this is a deadly question according to me and it generally end up screwing one's chances. Let me explain how. Now these interviewer have been asking this question for years after years and all they get is a lie. Nobody tells I want to do mba because I hate my job/ hate engineering/hate where I am working/feel unimportant at my workplace/not happy with my salary/ want to earn in 6 digits/hate my current life/, blah blah. They tell I want to be entrepreneur atleast 1/4 rth of batch and other things which they never do post mba and these profs see 1 or 2 enterpreneur per year which makes them believe all they heard were lies during interview. All I am trying to say is they simply know that you will be lying when they will ask you this question(You should see their faces when you are answering this question). So why would they ask this question anyway. They want to see how good you act or how logical you may sound while answering so that you appear convincing(That's why they ask counter questions just to see how logically strong your lie is 🙈 ). So people who impatiently want this question to be asked should be very well prepared because this question is definately not going to impact your selection chances(they believe you will be lying) but surely may postpone your mba plans by a year.
