This is not a story of success. I would say story of my struggle. I'm a GEM. In CAT 2015, I scored 98.67 %tile with 95%tile+ in sectionals. Acads 89/81/78 in 10/12/grad. 8months work ex in one of the domestic industry leader in construction. Achievements and Extra Curricular above avg with a National Award. Currently waitlisted and may be someday will join one of the new iims or Sjmsom or MDI. But in my journey, I found that unless you have 90+ acads or 99.4+ %tile you have to struggle. Or with 99.7+ you can be sure about FMS and a very few college. But otherwise the gap between 96%tile and 99%tile is less than 3 if weight given to CAT score is 30% in the final selection. Even with 50% weight given, the headstart is about 5.75 for a 99%tiler with a 96%tiler. But the diversity factors(usually 5 points for female and non engineers) and work ex (usually 5-10) will make it a more than level playing ground for others. So getting a good balanced CAT percentile is nessesary but not a sufficient condition. Better have some work ex or have other options ready. ATB.

We bring you 8 keys to crack Personal Interview at top B-schools:

1.  Be ready with 'must know questions':

You should be well prepared with the  questions revolving around your thought process about your career, life and ambitions, such as 'why MBA', 'how will it relate to your goal', 'how does your academic background relate to your goal', 'how relevant your experience', 'why do you want to join a particular institute'.

2.  Reflect confidence:

During Personal Interview, you should reflect confidence while answering to different questions. Interviewers often tend to cross-question you even on your right answers just to check your confidence on your own answers.

3.  Be honest to yourself and interviewers:

During PI, you are also tested for integrity of your basic characteristics like honesty. Your honest approach during your interview also makes your responses natural.

4.  Be Polite: 

Your politeness during the interview also brings positive impression on your interviewers.

5.  Drive the interview towards your strength: 

For PI it's very important to try and guide the personal interview towards your strength. So it's important to identify your strengths i.e. topics which you are comfortable with and try and guide the discussion towards those topics.

Learn to drive your interview to your areas you are strong in and make sure you know well about yourself, key interests and other relevant details mentioned in the form. 

6.  Stay calm:

During the interview, you should stay calm and never look stressed. If you are not confident of an answer, try to skip it. In case, you are countered on a particular question repeatedly, politely stick to your answer if you are confident on the same. 

7.  Positive body language and approach:

Your body language and approach during the interview should reflect positivity. Experts say that your smart response and right answers must be supported by your positive expressions, constructive approach and attentive nature during the interview. Your sitting posture should be formal throughout the interview.

CAT topper Akshay Jayaprakasan says, "Body language, communication skills, and good sense of humor can take you places in an interview. It is also important to have a positive attitude. The interviewer in most cases is looking for how you approach a question rather than whether you know the correct answer or not."

 

8.  Be thorough with what you write in your CV:

During the interview, interviewers also tend to pick questions based on the information that your CV carries. Interviewers expect you to be fully prepared with minute details on any information that you provide in your CV.
