My interview is on 1st march.What do we need to carry with us for the interview?Is there any personal form that we need to fill out? i remember filling it last year but have completely forgotton the process.Could someone let me know?
Due to some reasons, i missed my watpi round which was on 16th. Is there any possibility i can give the watpi now? Pls help.
Co-curricular is academics related while extra curriculars is sports, POR, etc.. right?
But they have given options of Olympiad and scholarship under extra-curriculars & POR under co-curriculars.. Shouldn't it be opposite??
Pls help!

WAT/PI Experience
Date - 24th Feb
Venue - Monarch Luxor, Bangalore
WAT Topic - Notice period for employees before quitting job is one of the highest in India as compared to rest of the world. In the current scenario when its easier for companies to find and train replacements, such long notice periods are now under consideration. Your views?
My profile':
3 months in Cognizant as a trainee.
3.5 years in Cisco as a test engineer.
Quit Cisco 2 months ago to start my own venture as a wedding photographer.
10th:89% 12th:78% CBSE
BE Electronics and Telecom 64%, CSVTU Bhilai Chhattisgarh 2010. Excellent extra-currics.
PI: 3 member panel, 2 men in their 50's and one young guy in his early 30's (could be an alumnus and not a professor from some IIM)
Mine was a very chilled interview, all the guys kept smiling and made me feel comfortable. No technical questions, no question from economy/finance or work ex.
Tell us about yourself.
Who is your favourite singer? Don't you follow old songs or listen to old singers like Rafi, Kishore or Manna Dey?
Why did you quit your job at Cisco?
Do you make enough money in wedding photography?
Why did you quit Cognizant after working there only for 3 months?
Why do you want to do an MBA?
Why do you want to get back in the industry after having become an entrepreneur already?
Won't it be difficult for you to adjust yourself back in a corporate job after working as a freelancer?
Do you follow current affairs?
Who is the Principal Secretary of Chhattisgarh state?
Who is the CM?
Isn't Nitish Kumar the CM of Chhattisgarh?
Are you sure?
But Bihar's CM is Sitaram Manjhi, are you sure?
Tell me something very significant that has been in the international news in the last one week. (The End)
I was expecting a lot of questions from related to testing, Cisco's market performance, current affairs but none of them came.
I answered all the questions confidently, highlighted all my achievements in the 'Introduce yourself' question and tried to steer the interview towards my hobbies and was successful in that.
No speculations about the results, will wait for the final verdict.
Urgent
I took a print out of the form. but the problem is that the boxes where the ticks were marked in the co curricular and extra curricular section are not visible. should i mark them with pen or will they do?
i was trying to fill personal form but could not see save button at the bottom.Do we need to fill it in one go ?and when do we print it( after hitting submit button)?
In the new IIMs Personal Data Form, what should we fill in for the Extra-Curricular Activities and Co Curricular Achievements section? Aren't they the same anyway?
How does the faculty of new IIMs compare with each other. Many of them seem ordinary...
I am disappointed that IIM faculty do not have degrees from aborad. Compare and contrast with ISB.
or are we saying IIM is better than ISB?
how do the two compare
can we fill extracurruculars and cocurriculars without certificates?
Where should we write work related achievements-Cocurricular or extracurricular?
do extracurricular activities carry any marks in the selection process?
hello puys!
I have been shortlisted for old iims. out of these, only four will be considered & their marks averaged for new iims.unfortunately i hv missed one of these interviews(IIMK).so now will the new iims consider the marks of rest 3 or simply put a 0 against IIMK and proceed????
anyone having information on this issue plz reply.
