Hi Sir,
Do B-schools conduct their GDPIs in cities other than their campus ? Or I need to go to respective campus for the same ?

I believe that they must be having centers in most cities if not all. If yes from where I can get this information ?
@_Anamika_ Yeah, they'll have centers other than at campus also. The list of cities is different for each institute. But yes the major cities like Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Kolkata etc. will be there I think for most of them.

You'll need to check individual institute websites to know the exact list of cities they conduct GDPI process at.

Sir I checked individual websites of institutes like XLRI, FMS, IMT, IIML etc but I have not found any list of cities where they conduct GDPI process.
@_Anamika_ It should be shown once the GD PI shortlist is announced for that particular institute!! And for some when applying initially itself they ask for choice of interview city. So you may have come across when you applied to institutes like IMT.

Thank you for info.
I have not given any exam this year
@_Anamika_ Well then its too early for you to think of all this!! Focus on the preparation and be active in the Prep section more!! :D

The IIMs specifically state that they look at post-graduate work experience, but during the final selection stage or the PI, do internships count? As in, internships done during college years and relevant to the engineering course work?

@dailypoet Saying it as "post-graduate work experience" (with "-" in between implying it should be read together!!) might be bit confusing! :P

Work experience post graduation would be the right usage I guess! :)

Anyways, those internships, projects etc. done during graduation wouldn't be considered as part of work experience, but then as co-curricular activities. Definitely a value add to the profile during PI.
@ajaygovindg : thanks man

I am from engineering 3rd year preparing for CAT 2013(ist tym).....am good in VA,RC section....need a bit of guidance in quant section....

I am new to pagalguy any help would be appriciated..................

I missed the CAT 2012 as I have to move to London but I am looking forward to appear for CAT 2013. Coming back India in August 2013 beginning. Have started preparation again.

@adreamcalledmba Even my situation is same like yours any time this year I may travel out and if it happens in November then my one full year preparation will be wasted .... Don't worry just do you work and hope for best.
