Thanks a lot for the overwhelming response for the online chat. We tried our best to clear your queries but due to repetitive questions, and high activity there might be some queries which might have been left unanswered. So, we have compiled the FAQs to further help you in your prep:
Kindly note that answers are indicative of our though process. Therefore, you are requested to develop your own thought process and introspect before answering.
FAQs
1.Short term (5 years) and long term(15 years) goals: This is the most challenging question in my opinion. It is to determine how clearly you think about pursuing an MBA and how would it help you achieve your goals. Most of you may have an idea of the specialisation you want to pursue. For students who prefer marketing, you may write that I want to be a senior brand manager, digital marketing executive, etc...after 5 years. Link this with the answer to 15 years or long term goal. You can say that you would like to have gained expertise to head a function in your company. Similarly, for students who want to pursue finance- short term goal is to be a financial advisor/risk consultant/ senior analyst in ABC bank/firm. They can say that they want to head IB/consumer division of the firm in 15 years. All answers should reflect that you have done thorough research in that domain. This answer is just to give you a head-start. This is not a model answer. Develop your own line of thought and write. People love to mention they want to be CEO of XYZ in 15 years/ entrepreneur. It looks fancy but you need to have knowledge about that domain/ knowledge area before you write such things.
2.Computer efficiency column :MS office is fine if you don't have C++, matlab, PHP etc.
3.Ranks (if proof not there) :Write if you were in top 3 otherwise leave blank. Proofs are ideal, but even if you don't have and can justify, it is fine. If you write you were awarded a gold medal in your B.Tech and can't answer fundamentals of your subjects, your ship will sink(and you too)
4.Work ex achievements- They can be mentioned in last section.
5.Name a person who inspired you to pursue a career in Business Mgmt-
You need not write Steve Jobs or Elon Musk or Sunder Pichai. The person can well be your father who is a teacher. It can be any person who was able to display you a need unfulfilled, that motivated you to pursue this program so that you can find a solution to that need. Or you can write a safe answer by mentioning that a person ABC was my role model and I want to be like him. He also did an MBA. So, MBA will help me be like him.
6.Work ex docs need not be sent with CV form
7.Work ex considered only if it is Full time- Joining letter/ pay slips are succinct for proofs. Internship can be mentioned in last section
8.Two instances where you have exhibited team building/ leadership skills:Just to give you a line of thought- For those who don't have executive positions at school/ college or work-ex, you can mention instances when you took initiative, helped the poor, volunteered for an NGO, taught poor children. If you have held some executive position or you have work ex..use that as a medium to quantify your leadership ability. You can write a task you accomplished within deadline, led your team successfully for a crucial project/change/ implemented a business idea. Hopefully, you get the gist...build on it.
9. If you've appeared for your examinations but marks are not there and are under-evaluation, you can write "Appearing, results awaited"
10. GD-PI date & location can be changed if relevant proof/evidence is shown.
11. What needs to be brought at GD-PI: Call letter, ID Proof/ Marksheets and Certificates/ Caste certificate(if applicable) OB- NC needs to be of after 31st March 2015. Some centres are very strict is about it and check every single proof. So, bring everything applicable and not risk your candidature.
12. How many seats are there for the taking this year: Don't worry about that.You need only one
PS : Be yourself. Don't write answers to impress anyone. Only if you convince yourself, can you convince someone else.
For achievement certificates' proof, an email from the concerned authority is sufficient
Try to use bullet points in answering wherever possible. All the best.
