I did my +2 from there. *facepalm* P1- Why did you go to AP Me - Explained about JEE thing. P1- Now tell me which state do you find best in these three. Me- Maharashtra P1- Why? Me- Told about cultural heritage and History abt state. Unfortunately uttered that Maharashtra contributes most to India's GDP. P2 got excited P2- What is GDP Me- Gross Domestic Product. P2- Explain Me- Started using some terms, which I obviously didn't have any knowledge of. Used a term "Foreign Investment" P2- Let's assume our GDP is zero. If a person from outside India invests X amount of money in India. What would e our current GDP Me- told that GDP will be calculated only after calculating profit made from that investment. P2 seemed convinced. P1- Have you studied all these? Me- No. P1- Then why are you blabbering all this. Me- *Speechless* P1- What do you study at NIT Rourkela Me- Computer Science P1- Which is your favorite subject Me- Data Structures P1- asked three questions, couldn't answer 2. :p P1- Annoyingly, Tell me what do you want to do in life. Me- Well I want to work for 20-25 years pool, then get retire and teach and guide small kids P1- Why don't you do it now? Me- Sir, I want to earn a lot so that I can sponsor education of some of those kids. P2-  Are you done with your campus placements? Me- Yes sir. P1 and P2 both gets busy on their phones After 1 Minutes P1- So where were we? placements right? P2- So what's your package? Me - Told CTC offered by Samsung P2- Well that's a very handsome pay package. You can certainly save and teach kids. Me- Correct sir. But that would mean end of learning for me, and I don't want to stop if now. P1- Why MBA Uday? Me- Sir, My goal of teaching little kids and guiding them for their future will get a boost if I do MBA. I will learn professional skills of management and consulting. And trust me Guiding kids is not an easy thing. I certainly think a PGP degree would definitely enhance my skills P2- Let's assume we are rewinding your life. Would you change the your choice of career after 10th? Me- No. Because I think I made a correct decision. P2- What were the choices which you had After 10th Me- Told Art,Science,Commerce etc. P2- Why not cricket? Me- Sir I narrowed down my choices to mentioned streams in which I could do well. P2- But you had that option as well Me-/Sir, I was  guided properly by my teachers and Students and that's why I could make such wise decision. And this guidance is exactly what I aim to provide to kids. P2 Smiles P2- Okay. What do you mean by Science P1 - *Grins* I passed him smile Me- Sir, I think anything which explains reasoning behind why a particular thing is happening is science. P1- Isn't economics a science as well then? Tell me your favorite science subject Me- I don't know sir. let's say chemistry. P1- Computer Science is Physics, Chemistry or Biology? Me- More of Mathematics! :D P1- Well, Uday I saw you didn't speak much during the GD round Me- Sir, I am very good listener and I love to analyze what people say and I appreciate when someone puts a good point. I spoke only when someone couldn't put forward strong view P1- You understand that you should speak lot in GD Me- Yes sir, I will improve on that. P1- Okay let's talk about that topic Who do you think is responsible for Lack of safety for women? Men or Women Me- Sir I think it's men. P1- Why do you think so? Me- Told that we live in a society where we all have freedom to live and roam freely. And if someone's activity is hampering that freedom, then we have a problem P1- But I think women are more responsible for this, as a wise person should always worry about his safety Me- Sir , I disagree with the fact that women are more responsible as your view suggest us to prevent the after effects but basically we should attack the root of the problem, which is mentality of people People in India still objectify women as thing of pleasure and lust. Which shouldnt be case. This mentality should be eradicated. P1- But tell me if someone goes to Sunderban without any protection and a tiger kills that person , then who is at fault? Who is responsible.? Me- We should see that the basic nature of tiger is to attack and hunt for its pray,and thus person should take proper safety measures before visiting such places, but we humans are not characterized with eve teasing or Raping of women. Thus in idle scnario women shouldn't have to worry and take protection when going out with men around. P1- But, when women know that situation is not idle then why shouldn't women be responsible for this Me- Sir. tell me If a murderer kills a person , who is held responsible? Murderer or person who got killed? Who should be sent to jail ? The person who murdered or person who got murdered :D ( Nailed it right here) P1- What is connection between murdered and rapist here? Me- Sir, you gave analogy of Tiger, at least I m sticking to crimes and human Being. P1- Well in that case, everyone is unsafe Me- Probably. It's just that what are those factors from which we are unsafe and how to eradicate the mentality of Men in our country remains the prime factor. P1- Hmm. Well I guess that will be it. Me- Sir you were pronouncing my name wrong all the time. Told correct pronunciation. This is not entire interview, but almost 90% of it.

IIM Lucknow WAT - PI

Wat Topic - you can teach someone how to be a good leader. 300 words/ 15 mins

PI - 2 Professors

1) Tell me about yourself..

Pursuing Civil eng from IIT, interested in transportation eng.. interrupted

P1 - I saw this intersection design on FB or somewhere.. analyze it..

Detailed discussion on transportation engineering.. 

was interrupted quite a few times.. because of which I was unable to detail my major project work.. but a gave a whole lot of gyaan! 😁

P2 - you must have studied Economics, right? what did you study in it?

supply demand etc.. 

P2 - so tell me what is demand? what are its factors? shape of the demand curve? how the curve will vary with rising income?

Knew the answer, was a little unsure so I said I don't know.. He tried to lead me to an answer but somehow I couldn't figure out the factors due to anxiety may be, my bad!!

Got the final answer was correct though..

P1 - asks for transcripts..

P2 - your CPI is "not good".. why so? civil engineering me interest nhi tha kya?

Me - I was. As for the CPI, I take the full responsibility of my dismal performance and have no justifications. I just could not live up to my potential.

P2 - didn't IIT's civil dept. inspire you?

Yes sir, some professors did inspire me a lot and i learned a great deal from them..

#Awkward silence..

P1-  hinting interview is over..

Me - (in a desperate attempt to salvage the interview :P) Sir, I didn't include any extracurriculars in my form because I wasn't sure if I could mention them..

P2 - Ok, so do you debate? (Don't know where this came from, perhaps from my style of speaking)

Me - Again tried to divert their attention towards my core project..

P1 & P2 - Tell us something unrelated to your discipline

Me - ok no sir, but I did so and so activities.. Mentioned a Worldquant competition but they didn't know about the company. Explained it in detail.

P1 - You can leave now..

Me -There's one more thing I wish to let you know.. interrupted again

P1 - We have all the info we need

Me - Directed my attention towards P2 😛 .. told him what I wanted to and left the room after the "customary Thank You"s.

Seemed like P1 really made up his mind after seeing my grad score.. Straight reject expected in my opinion. Sigh!

Anyways, IIM L wale log basic economics padh lena.. core zyada nhi pooch rhe the kisi se.. Hope it helps!!
