IIM INDORE WAT PI EXPERIENCE

VENUE AND TIMING-HOTEL TAJ BENGAL,KOLKATA,1:00 PM

Wat topic-measures to take to make India a prime tourist location.

A board member called me in.

I entered.Greeted all of them.While they permitted I sat and mistakenly told "thank you sir" looking at the chairman(she was a lady).She laughed and told "am I a sir"?I said sorry.

Then interview began.

They told me to choose a topic.I chose world economy.They asked me which topic I would prefer.I said 'oil price decrease'.They told me to give another one.I gave Greece problem.I tried to explain.Due to a little nervousness,I fumbled a lot for a couple of minuites.There was a misunderstanding between madam and I regarding 'but greece people are living'.I thought they are leaving.I said no.They are not leaving.They did not let me clarify.Told about bailout plan.

Then she asked me about what else I follow?i said politics.

She said what is happenning now a days?

I said jnu and ju?

She said yes.

As I am from JU,she wanted my view.I said anything anti-India,I never support.I went there to study.'we will look into that how much you studied.They were laughing so as I.

Asked about my spects.I told my powers.

Then came why not MSc/phd?

While answering,she said it is all about money.I said not exactly.Told about fathers retirement.She told she did her Phd with stipend.Why not me?Then told about growth,avenues.

She told even in engineering/MBA now a days avenues are getting contracted.No?

Then came some maths.First two I could not(integration).Then third question I answered.Fourth one I could not.

They told me you had maths papers in graduation.I said these were subsidiary papers.And you will need this in your MBA.

I said I will learn Maths.

Then another person said you had only 4 honours and 6 subsidiary papers in a semester?I said yes.

Another person said at our time it was not like this.

Asked me to explaind the system.Explained.

Maam asked can i ask u questions on stat?

Me- never studied maam

Should we ask you physics?

Me-I would prefer chemistry

Told me to choose a topic

Me- chemical bonding.

Asked about slow and fast bonding.I answered.

She asked about application(I was confused here as actually she meant examples which i could not catch)

I told examples.

Then I wanted a paper to depict slow metal legand back bonding.

Asked about Fe as a 3d metal.

Answered.

Three of them were Bengali.They were very cordial.But my nerve punished me in the first part.In the second part I recovered

IIM Calcutta WAT-PI experience

WAT Topic - why is cricket betting is illegal in india? should it be legalized?

My answer - illegal because it is speculative in nature and is also linked to various illegal activities like match fixing etc..

gave example of betting on horse racing where betting is legal and compared it to people speculating on the stock market.

then from an economic standpoint, if legalized it can bring a multi-crore industry under the purview of government, curb illegal transaction and contribute to GDP.

Interview (last candidate)

3 panelists 

P1 - tell us something interesting about yourself, something unrealted to your academics..

Me- I have explored various domains - blogging, web development, rural projects etc. so in a sense I have a diverse exposure..

P2- What is your biggest achievement? again not related to your field?

Me - Told them about a finance project, detailed it a bit. performed decently in CAT in face of adversity.

P2 - what adversity?

Me- Slipped disc, am on bed since august, couldn't prep for CAT.

P2- How would a friend of your's, who doesn't like you, describe you?

Me -  I'm kind of an introvert so people sometime percieve me as too arrogant to talk to them. Has happened a couple of times. Also, I might not be as sincere as one should be.

P1 - You are saying you are in sincere?

Me - yes sir, but i'm trying my best to overcome that issue.

P1- What steps are you taking?

Me - Set short term goals, worked hard towards achieveing them. Eg -did multiple online courses, met deadlines almost every other day.

P3 - What courses?

Me - Listed out all the courses and related projects

P3 - How would you compare two companies?

Me - Told.

Had a discussion with P1 & P3 on financial ratios..

P1 - Which one parameter, as an investor, would you consider while comparing companies?

Me -Sir, I think ROE would be a good measure.

P1- Good!

P2 -What would you say if I ask you to get 2 years of experience before joining MBA?

P1 - yeah, in the USA you won't be able to apply as a fresher. In fact, the avg. work ex there would be in the range of 4.5 yrs.

Me - I completely agree with you sir but future is uncertain, as wanted to prepare well for Cat this year but couldn't do it due to my slip disc. Who's to say any such situation won't arise in the future. That's why I would prefer to do it now itself

P2- Don't you think exp. is necessary?

Me - Yes sir, it is but the criterion of IIM admission might change and maybe I won't make it.

P1 - Are you saying that you not confident that you would be able to score as much in CAT as this time?

Me- Sir, I can definitely score better.

P1 - Anyways,  The criteria would definitely favour ones with experience i.e. you.

Me - Tried to talk about deferral policy of IIM A but not sure whether they heard it or not as P2 asked a question while answering.

P2 - One final question, like i told to candidates before you, you guys aren't serving the nation. you should take out 3-4 months to teach in governement schools etc and serve the nation instead of organising these cult, social fests.

Me - Yes sir, I completely agree with your point. This could be a  welcome change.

P1 - one more thing, you took one extra year for B. tech.

Me- Yes sir. Had some Backs.

P1, P2, P3 - Thank you..
