Hello.....Please may i know your answers for WHY MBA???
because i do not have good curriculars,..... so i mentioned short term and long term goals.......
How could i answer this question..... and even i am a fresher
Please help me.......
😠😠😟😟
One of the good ways to answer Why MBA question is to link your past,present and future aspirations/goals with the help of a story. Find out the important qualities of a manager/leader and try to include these in your story on how you will be able to acquire these skills by doing MBA from XYZ institute.You can actually use this question to your advantage by ending it with the field in which you will be doing your MBA(Finance,Marketing,Operations,Consulting,HR) to show them you know what you are talking about.

When are the results of WAT-PI expected to be declared? Are all the IIMs going to declare separately or will IIM T take a lead on this one also?
Guys please check out your mails. I received a mail from IIM kashipur student mentor program asking to inform them if I had any queries about the admission process. It might imply that they are sending it to every candidate or might also mean they shall come with the result sooner.

Hello Guys!
Sorry Guys. For such a Late Post of my Interview For New IIM's . Himmat nhi ho rhi thi to write about it.. Also was in a shock. Ab jab I am feeling better.. Here it goes.. 😃 Thoda Long hai ..Short mein niptana mushkil hai.
Date:26th February 2014
Venue: A luxury hotel in Kolkata.
PS(Pre-Script) : I woke up early in the morning.. Was feeling anxious and paranoid.Was not at all Confident about My self.I knew its going to be one hell of a day. The mood was set for the day to be screwed. Reached the venue 30 mins earlier.All the Candidates were sitting under a shed. Some Accompanied by parents, along with Bananas and Sandesh and offcourse 'jol er bottol'(A bottle of drinking water). Some on their own. As soon as I reached, got stares from almost all of them.I found it unpleasant (May be as I was low on Confidence myself).Somehow managed to take a sit and tried to calm myself.The words : Sab thik ho jayega.. dont you worry resonating loud in my head.Most guys were busy reading aaj ki tazza Khabar along with some fully engrossed in Candy Crusher(An Android Cult game:All thanks to Ranbir'I like playing C.Crusher' kapoor for tweeting the same).
A guy came out from the main building and told to assemble at the basement hall.Did as instructed.On entering the same, found neatly clothed table arrayed across the hall.There were two rows of tables and we were asked to sit two in each table. The Document verification Process Started.
A pleasant lady and a not so pleasant guy came and asked us to arrange our documents. Then they Called out our names and took the documents. Few didn't brought the profile sheet(as expected).They were then provided with Empty profile sheet and asked to fill the same.
Post the Verification Process, We were suppiled with a WAT papers with the Wat topic being kept upside down on our table. Though few managed to sneak in to the topic before the time Started but it was okay.
Topic:Impact of Reality Show on Society.(20 mins) Me:Tried writing on it sensibly,but got lost in the middle. Post the WAT, we were told to report to our respective panels.
The Interview:
------------------------
There were 4 panels in the house. Panel 1,2,3 took around 10-15 mins per candidate.Panel 4: 45-50 mins per candidate. I was lucky enough that I got Panel 4 (High Intensity Sarcasm intended). I was the third person for my panel. The First Guy went in,I believe he pissed off the interviewer as his phone ranged in the middle. Was told to hand over the phone to a security guard.His interview might have got doomed(His facial Expression said it all). Then the second guy went. After sometime, one of the panelist came out to take a call .While returning he gave me a Spine Chilling look and thus added to my woes. The second one did well as when he came out he had a handful of chocolates and the interviewers were pleasantly chirping about him (Forgive me god ..I overheard them). Now it was my turn.I was told by the last person that I would be called. Waited with a bated breath for around 15 killing minutes and was then called In.
My Interview

There were three interviewer in my Panel Smiley Lady(SL), Spine Chiller(SC),Indifferent Guy(IG).
