hi friends, I have a query regarding grad marks/cgpi section of personal data form. we were provide grads instead of marks and our cgpa was in a range of 1 to 10. Can I write my GPA out of 10 for each year in grad section ??
Hi guys,
In my college we use cgpi.Should I bring any certificate from HOD about converting cgpa to percentage
Everytime I submit my form, the Äddress in jpeg format error crops up. Anybody else too facing the same?
Self attestation ok?
Gotta ask iim pgp kozhikode
Or iim ahemdabad agm?
Interview date: 16 Feb ; 8 am
Venue: Delhi, Rajendra Place
3 panelist: all males
Interview experience:
P1: describe yourself in three words?
Spoke a few sentences related to strengths and at last came up with the three words. (Giving answer in the form asked, "three words" as they may not be able to understand your answer.)
P2: You have done your grad from a rep college, what do you expect from an MBA? job role, why not in core sector.
(A pause, incomplete preparation) Told how I did not get placement in core sector, but placed in an IT firm which I did not pursue. Joined another company, as i was interested in it and wanted to do more in that sector. (Kind of my main story)
P3: Related to acads.
Answered but could not give convincing ones. Still maintained a level of confidence, which did not show i did not know anything. Also tried to create an image to make them understand.
P3: Related to maths basics, related to probability.
Took a long pause initially, when felt that next question is going to be asked, started blurting out. Could not answer the followup question. Was asked to explain Bayes' theorem. Explained through an example. Could not answer the follow-up question. Straight forward told them if i did not know the answer. Helped to move on and avoid negative vibrations.
P2: Which specialization
Told would be in a better position after first year.
P2: Which iims did you get calls from, which one would you choos e and why? Be frank!!!
I said I would would choose IIM Indore as it was the oldest and most established. Told about its rural immersion program to show my research about college.
P1: Who is the director of IIM Indore?
I do not know (the guy laughed, but i remained calm)
P1: Asked related to acads
Answered partially, was able to demonstrate competence to a fair level.
P2: About extra curricular
Was able to manage. Made the atmosphere lighter. Shared a few smiles.
P1: Do you follow current affairs? Shown a picture. Why was he news recently?
It was Pt. Madan Mohan Malviya. Bharat Ratna controversy. (While I was lucky that I could answer, there is less one could do much about it. Read or listen to news a little.)
Overall
It helps to be attentive while questions are asked. I could have answered a few questions better had i though carefully enough. Also to answer in related sense, even if you do not know precisely. The interviewer is just looking to judge competence in acads and other areas. Might get benefit of doubt. Try to make them understand. It is our responsibility, not theirs, as we would suffer the consequences in any case. Also, do not discuss your experiences just outside your room, once you get done with your interview. It does not make a good impression in case the panel notices this.
Thank you
Is it necessary to bring a resume to the WAT/PI?
Would mark-sheets suffice as certificates of educational qualification?
Would pay slips suffice as experience certificate for WAT/PI
what was iim kashipur cut-off this year?
and when 1st merit list will be out?
what is meant be certificates of educational qualification? i just have mark sheets for 10th 12th and college.
Plus in the form i filled in first to fourth year GPA but the problem is that my overall CGPA which my university calculates is from the 2nd year and not from the first year. so what should i put in the overall percentage? should i put the college given one or the calculated one(including the first year)?
I have 2 queries:
1) What is the difference between extra-curricular and co-curricular?
2) Do we need certificates/proofs of all the activities that we mention in the above 2?
Do we get an extra sheet or space for rough work somewhere in the WAT sheet to write rough notes? If not can I carry one with myself?
Urgent!!!
My new iims interview was yesterday morning, but due to a personal emergency I could not attend it.
will I be able to get another chance??
What is the best answer if a panelist in the interview of new IIM's asks which IIM would you choose and why ?
Should we choose one or give a generalized answer ?
I met with an accident and had got my leg fractured. I requested for a change of date and venue but I did not get any reply from them.My condition now is serious and unable to walk now.
Doctor prescribed for a 1 month complete bed rest.
My WAT/PI date is on feb 26th at chennai.
I stay near hyderabad.
What should I do now?Someone please suggest me what to do
My process starts at 1:30 pm. By what time will I be free ?
While filling the form for the new IIMs, is it essential to tick the checkboxes in co-curricular and extra-curricular sections. My activities are difficult to classify in the categories given.
