Hi.
I've been through my GD/PI process on 8. You can go to the campus straight away and report to the hostel for the accomodation. I was charged Rs. 150/-. The problem is they are accomodating three people in one room and there are only 2 beds in the room. So be ready for some uncomfort at night.
My Gd was scheduled for 8:00. But after the verification of documents the actual Gdstarted at 9:45. A word of caution make sure you are carrying a copy of the certificates along with originals. Mr. Kuriakose will scold you if you are not carrying them. The Gd is very structured. The population present in a batch is divided into two groups. For the topic, there are four envelopes.One of us is expected to pickout theenveope and then the topic is announced. Ater a lead time of 30 seconds every body gets 1 minute to present his ideas, after everyone has spoken the Gd starts and finally we get 3 minutes to sum up. the total time alloted is 2x no. of candidates + 3 minutes. Our topic was "We are not serious about saving environment/wildlife." The Gd was cordial. No fish market. There are three moderators.
The same set of moderators will be present in intervie panel. (I personally don't like this practice as any biases from GD might be carry forwarded to PI stage by the mods.)
The Pi is more like a grilling session. The questios asked to me were
1. Tell us something about urself. (I find it the toughest question. i never know what to speak. ANd this questio was my downfall.)
2. Snce you have used the word Indian Culture, please define culture.
3. Who is CM of Tamilnadu, Who is CM of Karnatak, What language is spoken in kreala?(After i was unale to answer any of these question Mr. P Dubey wanted to kiick me out. He said that u say that u are well acquainted with indian culture but i don't think so. )
4. What is Newton-Raphson method.
5.Mention a case where newtons 3rd law fails.
6. State ohm's law.
7. Budget highlights.
8. why do u want to switchover after an esatblished career.
9. What mistake do you think you comitted during Gd?

My interview lasted 7-8 minutes. In fact all those after me were interviewed only for this duration. the guys initially were interviewed for upto 25 minutes. After a Bad PI i count myself out of the race.
All the best to other puys who are going for their GD/PI. LEARN THE NAME OF CM'S AND THE LANGUAGE SPOKEN IN SOUTH INDIAN STATES.
Anyother query can be asked i will try to answer it.
One more info the no. of SEATS HAVE BEN INCREASED TO 60. And the campus is breath taking.

In my batch there were 12 students. Most of the pi was based on acads. One guy who had 99 i stats in 2nd year was grilled so hard in that subject that he was regretting scoring that well. Be prepared with ur grad subjects and nonsensical GK questions. I guess every body is being subjected to a stress interview. Just be urself. I guess i messed up because i really wanted to join IIFM and was under stress due to that and the feedback from other students was discouraging.
One more sugestion. To say thanks use the thanks button. Lets us all try to save the precious harddisk space of pagalguy.

some were asked why iifm and some were not. I don't think gap really matters coz nobody was asked about gap whereas everybody had it. Can't give questionsa asked of others as i'm unable torecall them. but everybody had a different set of questions. Infact panel seemed more interested in knowing what you don't know. I'm form science background. Sorry for the late post. All The Best.

Hello everyone....

I am looking for a changeover to non-profit sector in natural resource management sphere... and IIFM came up on the searches....

I was going through some of the placement related information on this thread... looks like IIFM is attracting lots of profit oriented organizations & the trend is upwards...

hi
If you are looking for career in non-profit sector IIFM is one of the best inst. in country. Almost all the major non-profit organization have some iifm alumni working, though the recent trend in placement (of going for profit orgn) is reflection of students choice and not of lack of opportunity of option or offers from non-profit organization.

hi folks sorry for late post.gd pi was on 13th.the gd topic was a completely shocker IS PHILOSOPHY AN ARMCHAIR THEORY.ye armchair kya hoti hai. the moderators told that anyone could start first and then the person next to him will follow in giving his views on the topic.my no was 9th so i thought that by my time i will have the views of several peope to copy.but the girl just sitting by me started speaking first(typical girls habit)and next was my turn.but i started to speak somehow and spoke of indian philosophy and great indian philosophers(i copied most of that girl).but as gd progressed i had plenty of matter.it was the best gd of my life as every one participated.in pi questions ranged from where is economomy going to what is the govt doing in higher education to do u agree with the exemption limit being more for women in income tax to the emergence of pvt. engg. colleges(iam also from one ) but i defended it. at last a good day.now waiting for result.
i had heard that a lot of alumni are working in world bank and un.is it true(could not find their name in the placement link on the site for 2006 and 2007).also in the prospectus it is written that tcs and pricewaterhouse coopers came to iifm.what will a forest mgmt. graduate do in s/w firm.
