mine gd was on 1st march ...
9:30 am
venue _; imi new delhi
there were 3 grps.. slated on the same time
12 members in each grp...
though in our grp only 8 appeared
the authorities waited for some time ... for the rest of students to come ... but in vain...
then
we all entered in the conference room and there we were told abt the details of the process
our panel had 2 memebers...
there was a gd and then an interview...( documents were to be submitted at the time of interview
sop(why mba.. essay).. xerox of cat score card... work exp documnets....
only these 3 were asked to show
gd :---
we were given a sheet of paper which had topic and space to write points
" should cellphone with camera be banned in india"
2 minutes to think and write
1 minutes for intro ... individually clockwise
they did interruppted in b/w when the time was complete ...
2-3 minurtes for gd
1/2 -1 minute to conclude .... in anticlkwise manner individually
thats all .... and i don't think they were really listening the gd ... yes they seem to be interested
when intro... conclusion.. was going on
our gd once went to a sort of fish mkt ... panel interruppted and said he is not able to
understand what we were discussing
and it all went smooth...
interview...
i entered and they asked for the essay and xerox
(they took it and kept it aside ... never even botherd to read it or have a glance...)
it started with usaul
tell me abt urself..... why egg. and now mba.... why cse and mba...
( me a final yr cse student)
5-yr goal .... 10-yr goal---- whats ur ambbition
give some eg that u have qualities to achieve them...
and then they went to technicals.....
sd ram.. ddr... patch... hole... unix... oracle.. java...xp home edition/professional differences
....imagine they even asked me abt JK fip flop
the author of the book ... edition...
and in majority of teh questions my answer was same ... nope... i heard that but forgot it...
blah blah
thank god they later went into HR again
why not mtech... why not job now... et al...
how imp is money to you... how much u want ...
now thatwas a real tricky one ... i answered sir it would depend on need... situation... location...
they said .. tell me exact amont .... I told them
they said go for job u can get that in 2-3 yrs of exp... i answerd that i can but i want to do mbqa ... satisfaction ... dream.. etc ..
in all a cool interview... not much gill though i hint of it...
i guess that can help u
btw all the best

sorry for the repeat post
Hey Tushar .... Thanx for the post.
One Query - Was the GD really for only 2-3 mins for 12 people. If that is the case its bound to be fish market.
dont tell me a gd in 12 ppl for 2-3 min
what they expect ous to discuss????? :grab: :x
Hi all.
Well for those who were a bit worried need not be 'coz the GD was not of 2 min span....The actual picture is as;
As for PI;
Wish u all luk...Take Care...
Well for those who were a bit worried need not be 'coz the GD was not of 2 min span....The actual picture is as;
- They make u comfortable after giving u proper place in a conference room...
- Then they give separate sheet of paper to all the guys on which is written a topic...
- One needs to jot down his thoughts and ll on tht paper itself in 2 min....
- After tht 1 min to each participant in clock wiz order as to intoduce the topic in his own manner...
- Then 10-12 min for discussion(Dnt wry most of the points have already been floated so no fish market)...
- After tht 30 seconds to each participant in counter clock wiz direction to conclude the GD his way...
As for PI;
- Cool direct and common sense based...
- Stress on academics
- Stress on Extra curricular..Carry ur certificates an dll...
- Stress on basic for engineers...Like..wat is a lever...wat is management...Wat courses in BE pertaining to management...etc etc etc
Wish u all luk...Take Care...
My Nirma process was today, 1st March 2005 at 9:30 AM, IMI New Delhi.
My profile:
CAT: 98.35%ile
Final year electronics and sommunications engineering student.
I was in panel 3, third floor conference room.
10 people turned up in our group, 5 males and 5 females. 6-7 engineers, 4 ppl with work ex. They sat us down around an oval conference table and took xerox copies of CAT score card, and the SoP.
Then gave instructions abt GD,....as posted earlier, "Cellphones with cameras shall be banned in India.". 2 mins to think, 1 min to give individual views, 10 mins to discuss, 30 secs to summarise. Overall a good GD, good coverage of all aspects, and some good solutions suggested as well. Although some folks started giving their own views during the summary.
PI was cool, having converted MDI already, wasn't very well prepared. Anyways, there was no table between me and the panelists. All three of us were sitting on consecutive seats around the conference table.
Panelist 1 (P1): Please tell us something about yourself.
Me: blah blah....meaning of name, strengths, school, college, family....
P1: Why have your marks gone down from 86% in 12th to 70% in engineering?
Me: These marks are considered good in engg, am in top 5, we have grading system, SPI....blah blah....
P2: So you think these are very high marks? I don't think so....
Me: Sir not very high, but they are good.
P1: OK you did your training from MTNL, learnt 5-ESS excahange, tell us something about it...
Me: (blank stare, didn't remember a thing about the training) Sir, it was theoritical blah blah....
P1: OK what is the difference between data transfer over internet and over telephone line?
Me: (ahhhh.....finally coming to my forte!) Sir, Internet protocol, packet switched, telephone, circuit switched....explained circuit switching and packet switching.
P2: What is a packet?
Me: Answered.
P2: Why are they necessary?
Me: Sharing of channel blah blah....
P2: So is it necessary that over internet all packets in a transmission follow the same path or same channel?
Me: No.
P2: Then how does the receiver put them together?
Me: Header fields, packet numbering, parity, checksum, CRC blah blah....
P2: How many bits in a byte?
Me: (Is he for real???) Sir 8.
P2: The last bit is used for error detection....
Me: Yessir parity....explained parity, even, odd, blah blah (Was interrupted once to ask can it be any one, even or odd?)
P1: Tell us what extra curricular activites have you done...
Me: IEEE student branch, web administrator blah blah...
P1: Show me the certificate for that...
Me: (Shown)
P1: (passes it to P2 to take a look) Ok why do you want to come to Nirma?
Me: (blank, total blackout, hadn't even bothered to go through the bulletin, didn't even know the salient points of the college) Said some run-of-the-mill crap, faculty, infra, library, course content, reputation, placements, rankings, blah blah....
P1: What other calls do you have?
Me: Sir Fore, IMI, IMT, MDI....(have many more...didn't say)
P1: Any results out yet?
Me: Yes sir IMI, didn't make it. (Thought the better of telling them about MDI)
P1: So would you join Fore or Nirma?
Me: Sir Nirma.
P1: You're saying it because we are sitting here....
Me: Again same crap.....campus, infra....blah blah....
P!: OK thank you...
Me: Thank you sirs.
PS: The weightage given during selection process is as follows (I don's know the authenticity of this info....maybe it's given in the bulletin, because everyone seemed to know it):
CAT score: 70%
GD: 10%
PI:20%
So, I'm pretty hopeful....
All the best to everyone who has their GD/PI coming up.....
(Monsieur Green has lost his cap!!)
Well iam looking forwrd to finding some one to share acomdation and for company(all girls out there)
if anyone got the same venue and date please contact.
