intake for 2017-19?
My GD/WAT Topic : Private sector promotes employability whereas public sector promotes employment. Had a decent GD and WAT. Interview: Two panelists. M1 and M2. M1:Vishal you are a loser (laughingly) I:Sorry Sir, But why do you think so? M1:You support Arsenal. It hardly wins any trophy.. I: Sir my favourite team doesn't has to the best team in the world. I love the way Arsenal plays and I respect their philosophy of building team instead of buying success. And sir with your logic teams like Sunderland, Stoke City should have no supporter. M1. But still you are a loser. You should support Chelsea. It's my favourite team. I: Agreed that Chelsea is a great team yet it finished way below Arsenal in the past season. (M2 Smiles) M1: Okay, What's your favorite movie? ( I had mentioned it as my hobbie) I: Braveheart and I told them about its plot. M1:So you like braveheart, with that logic you should support independence of kashmir? (We had a long discussion about this. He mentioned about how about 1.2 lakhs of kashmiris have been killed since 1987.I said we should try to create an awareness among our people about these atrocities and try to reach a consensus on this issue. He said that its a Noble view but don't say that in public. You can be jailed for this. I replied that being a citizen of India it's my responsibility to create an awareness among our people and I am willing to go to jail for this. He said "Right now don't go to jail,go for MBA" ) Till the interview was going fine. Then M2 started asking questions related to my grad subjects. I wasn't able to answer some of them. He asked few questions about general awareness, I answered some of them. M1: Vishal, how much would you rate yourself in this interview? I: Sir, I would give myself a 6. M1:Why?I would have given you a 8.You talked about kashmir, braveheart, Arsenal.. I: Yes sir, but I wasn't able to answer some basic general awareness questions, which I should have answered. M1: Okay, we would give you a 6(Smilingly). Thank you! You can leave now. Cat, 10th, 12th, Grads - - 99.55,90.6,76,75. What do you think guys??
IIM KOZHIKODE Venue : KolkataDate: 02/03/17
Time:Morning slot
WAT-GD:Do Marketing with a social cause gives the brand a human face?
Worst ever interview I have faced so far in my life..barely let me speak..grilled..interrupted..shouted upon...said that I am greedy...not suitable for MBA....I will murder someone to win what I want...unethical..dishonest..he is done with me..how he dont want to take the interview....and the list goes on
Felt like beating the crap out of that garbage...But just sat there and was taking it all...as CAP is entirely dependent on this..
Not joining Kozhikode ever....If I meet that interviewer outside someday..it will be the last day for him.
Any more interview experiences? Please tell your wat topics bhailog

WAT/GD: Numbing the pain, leads to greater pain when you have to finally have to feel it
P1 & P2.
P1:
Where are you from? (Punjab but lived in Bangalore all my life)
Are you Sikh or Hindu? (Hindu)
Do you know previous girl she was from your college? (No)
Tell me about the new budget - (Politically Siddu is scared therefore...)
[Interrupting] No tell me about the specifics - (Siddu is giving away free laptops and WiFi to colleges. Introducing reservation in blue collar sector)
But this is bad it will lower jobs - (I agree but that's not how siddu sees it, nor is that how the Kannadiga in rural Karnataka sees it therefore it is a politically good move)
Tell me about your final year project - (Autonomous robot which follows coordinates given as input)
But this is not something new right - (No we used visual feedback. *described feedback systesm in robots*)
So did you use walker or was it wheels (wheels)
But it's like using a CNC machine for the motors no? You know how far you have moved so what is the big deal in following the coordinates - (No small motors are imprecise CNC is precise.) [Satisfied]
What other calls you have?
Tell me why do you think these tech companies invest but indian ones don't in research? (Good question not sure)
[Interrupting] Is it mindset? (Maybe, I think perhaps they are set in their ways and therefore not interested. I was reading this book which discusses how British cotton manufacturing industry diverged from India because Brits put protectionist policies which forced them to innovate)
But the britishers destroyed the indian cotton market they didn't create innovation. Okay anyway what do you do at your company oh wait you have a good salary why do you want to do MBA? (Sir entrepreneurship product management)
What is product management (Explained, they were satisfied)
Okay what product you want to make? (Explained the tech behind it and the market)
But this is a nice tech product why not do mtech and research and build it
Why are you doing mba it's a waste of money you will make more at your company (Took time to explain how it is useful. Some back and forth about it. Finally they were satisfied)
P2:
Why did battery cars not take off? They have been there for 100 years yet all the companies failed (Sir marketing?) no that's not the right answer (sir they misjudged the market?) No (Sir price?) No (sir technology?) no the tech was good enough (Sir because there were no charging stations ) Yes correct
As an electronics engineer do you know about hospitals using smart toilets? (No sir) Explain what you think it does (Explained)
Okay so what is smart device since oyu did electronics (Explained to satisfaction)
how does a calculator figure out cosine of a number (Remembered something vague about the algorithm, got it wrong then said sorry sir don't really remember)
Okay enough questiosn from me, good luck.
----------------------------------------------------------------
I think it went quite well. Just have to wait and see what happens.

Hey guys anyone here with more than 41 months experience and planning to join IIM k once they convert
Hi guys. I have official documents for some of my extra curriculars like letters from college. We werent given certificates for those activitie. So is that ok?
What was the waitlist movement for OBC last year?
In my Kozhikode form, I had multiplied my CGPA of 7.89 by 10 and had given my percentage as 78.9, which is what we are supposed do at NIT Trichy. However, when the person who was checking my form asked me whether there was any formula to convert it, I said "No" and he scribbled that across the form that there isn't ant conversion formula. Do I need to contact the admissions office for this?
