New IIM's GD-PI/WAT preparation thread

Is it required to fill %of marks obtained  also if everything in my UG marks card is in CGPA? Cant i leave the column blank ?

I have a certificate for conversion of cgpa to % equivalence by factor of 10.I am confused with %of marks obtained!!!

It is given that 'please bring all salary slips'. Now any one who has a work experience knows that keeping all the salary slips is not possible. I have kept few with me that too just by chance. Now, what should I do?

My last year interview experience

SM: Spoke on my grad / work / hobbies (Meanwhile M2 extends his hand asking for the File containing certificates that I was carrying... which I misinterpreted under nervousness and extended my hand to shake hands with him.... M2 & F1 laughed a lot... I thought I messed it up completely... Then they said it happens, don't worry and we  need such things to have some fun amidst a busy, boring and hectic interview schedule !! I thought oh yes you had me for fun today 😏 ... Gaya beta tu toh aaj 😞   )

F1. So you are an electrical engineer?

SM. Yes ma'am (Kyun kyun !!!), but actually it has been long since I read the concepts of electrical engineering... It would be easy for me if you ask something on which I was working.

M1. What is your opinion about the declining crude oil prices ? Will India be affected ?
