That might be one way of looking , other way of looking at it is that by the time 11th comes the requirement might be reduced and hence they may not select many for the PI......just my way of looking at it......hence i would rather prefer to be earlier lather than later

@[596627:mba1987_k] Yeah we can't self attest the originals, so will have to sign on the photocopy and then scan & upload it...

Anybody in Chandigarh going to Delhi "Asia Pacific institute of management" on 9 August for GD-PI??

Government securities 6% 15 1
Company deposits 15% 3 3
Equity shares 20% 6 7
Time deposits 10% 3 2
NSC 12% 6 1
Real estate 25% 10 2

Since the woman is elderly, assuming she ages 55-60 and average life expectancy of 70, i think she needs maximum returns over 10 years.

So, the government secs and Real estate can be locked out as they have a higher lockin periods.

Let her invest a,b,c,d amounts in company depsoits,equity, TD's and NSC.

Now, equity shares can be ignored as return of 20% in 7 years is less than 15% return in 3 years (twice).

Hence b= 0,

Now we need to maximise the money(she has) X = re(a)+ re(c) +re(d)
Looking at 10 year invetsment plan, I suggest going keep 2/3rds of money in TD and 1/3 in companu deposits. ==> d =0

I will not suggest NSC because of inflation. Even considering an average of inflation of 6% (which is normal) , the money value kept in NSC actually goes down over the number of years.

There are many stats n vitals given for both the cement corporation. the case study consists of 2 pages .
ABC is a bank renowned and Mr shekhar is the manager of the bank . There are 2 cement firms -1. pearl 2. cement corporation. asking for a loan . U have constraint of giving a single comp loan . Bassed on the below statistics do a case study on
1) wheathr you would suggest shekhar to give loan to any of cement companies.
2) If you giving loan then wich 1 will be right cop to give loan

statistical data:
1)there is demand of 680 mill tonne of cement whre as Indian cement industry coul produce only 480 mil ton
2)the cement indutry will show a growth of 10-18% in next 5 yrs
3) the power supply and fuel required for running of Cement industry is a major blockage as the fuel prices are incresing and it would cause a prob for cement output/cost yiled.
4)the demand is more in rajastan in nothern regions and in eastern its westbengal.
4) the demand in rajastan is incresing by 10 %, the credit in rajastn by 9%.. and in eastern regions its 12% and 11% for last 2 yrs... smethng lke that sort

Vitals of Pearl:
recent to market . Largely setled in rajastan . rajastan established its base. output 7%,22%,33%,25% .for last 4 yrs.. growth 25%,36%,44%,33% ..equity - 1.2 ,0.7,2.2,1.4

Vitals of Cement corp :
was in market since 9 decades., has a strong base in westbaengal,also in rajastan, TN , MP output - 22%,16%,32%,19% . growth 7%,22%,25%.15% ....equity- 0.2 ,0.4 ,0.3,0.4

(just one thng remember that if this last ratio smethng related to equity if its less then the company is solvent to repay back the debts.-- say this this a good point to be noted.)


Hi raj,
The dress code was strictly formals with some guys having their suits also put on.
GD - The case had all the stats about Sitapur Village like :
1) 40% of population below 25 years of age - My point from this was target the youth. Sponser events in skuls n clgs like Annual Fest and thus advertise your product to make ppl aware what the brand "Cornley" is all about.
2) 90% of pop had TV in thr house - So advertise the product in TV through commercials featuring their local famous personalities.
3) Sitapur is agriculture based town. 12 lakh was total population out of which 44k are employed in 4 major firms along with some small firms - So i pointed out that only 3.33% of total pop. was employed. We have to make ppl aware that increase in popcorn productivity will lead to inc. in agricultural demand and hence creating more employement opportunities.
4) Sugarcane and Corn (bhutta) are famous products and popcorn is light and healthy - From this point you can mention the drawbacks on health from Sugarcane and Corn and hence switch to popcorn which is health efficient.
5) Popcorns are easy to make and fast to serve. Generation is moving to busy life where ppl want food products which are tasty n healthy and quick to prepare.
6) They are also cheap so ppl in rural areas dnt have to bother abt the price tag of the product.

These all wee my points. Guys during 1 min extempore pls dnt waste time in explaining the scenario. Quickly switch to your points to solve the problem and which one you think is best solution.

Hi All

Please prepare for above case study only , ther are repeatating this acse study every time so Dnt wry abt case study All d best you all r in , keeoing fingers cross

@[590075:SushantPrakash]- hi... me too from delhi , no calls yet....anybody has idea of delhi centre results?

I happen to be in the lucky few who got the call..

@[411271:akanksha19singh] @ hi i was in delhi centre for aptitude test.i got a call from icici for gdpi yesterday.............

@shahbaaz1959 said:
Yes thats exactly the point.....to check the consistency and to see if our contradict within itself which will prove we are not telling the right answers......
Not exactly.....since all the three options are not the same....and your priority (most/least) can vary according to the options given and hence can change as well...rt or wrong ??? :P
