Hi Team
I had my interview today!
During the interview I was asked about my participation in an International event, (I had marked that in the personal data form and also submitted certificate for it)
but during the interview I completely forgot about the event, so I told the panel member that it must have been a mistake and I wiil rectify it.
So now what do I do now? Because it wasnt a mistake.
Please suggest!
Thank You

WAT - Can India and China ever be friends?
Wat went very well… Knew the topic because of a research project
Interview
I was the last in my panel. The interviews lasted for quite some time for the starting few but eventually became short.
There were 2 Panelists, P1 was a very sweet looking lady and P2 was a sir. Both of them were friendly.
P1 : Ok Abhimanyu introduce yourself.
A : Gave well rehearsed answer, talking about my education, family, hobbies and why I want to pursue an MBA. One of the hobbies I mentioned was participating in social welfare projects.
P1 : You mentioned participating in social welfare projects. What all projects have you participated in?
A : Told them about my efforts in school and college. Mentioned about how I was the Coordinator of WDC in college and mentioned various projects that WDC undertook which included collaboration with many NGOs
P1 : What is the biggest problem that you think NGOs face today?
A : Told them about the stigma that is associated with working with an NGO. Cited personal example of my parents not understanding my work.
P2 : If you were in a position of power, how would you change this?
A : Talked about how this problem is rooted in Education and how I would reform education in Goverment schools. Talked about how students need to learn to do more that just bookish studying and how schools should have classes for hollistic development instead of just academic development.
P1 : But you have managed to get good marks,so is this not hypocritical?
A : Told them no because I focussed on both academics and extracurriculars and hence am an example of how students can manage both. Talked about school’s motto being “Service Before Self” (Studied in DPS) and how it helped me focus on both and overall development. Talked about how Delhi Government’s new happiness classes are a good example for these kind of classes.
P2 : Okay, you are from Mathematics right?
A : Yes sir
P2 : Then make a function that can measure a person’s happiness.
A : Asked them to give me a minute and started thinking. P1 said that if I could manage to find a function, she will take me in right there.(They knew that there is no way to find a foolproof mathematical function for Happiness so they were messing with me.)
Finally used Maslow’s need heirarchy to come up with a variable for each block, multiplied each variable with a constant and added them all
P2 : Explain what you have done.
A : Explained Maslow’s need heirarchy, why they are essential for happiness.
P2 : So you basically added them all?
A : Yes sir
P1 and P2 start laughing.
P2 : So if any of the needs are not met,then happiness is zero?
A : Explained how each need has its own constant and the Constants could be different for different people.
P2 : Okay leave this, are you aware of any business news?
A : Started stating all the news I had read recently. P1 kept dismissing them saying that she had heard them. After 4 topics, I asked them to give me 30 seconds. I jotted down all the other topics I could think of. Started stating them again, and she kept dismissing them (they asked this question from every candidate). Finally I mentioned the ILFS Crisis.
P1 : Yes haven’t heard that yet. Start.
A : Talked about the ILFS Crisis. How it had impacted the NBFCs and the shadow banking sector and how it contributed to the recent economic slowdown.
P1 : Ok. Sir do you have anything else to ask?
P2 : Do you know Poisson Distribution?
A : Sir I do know but don’t remember right now.
P2 : Ok any other distribution that you know?
A : Sir Normal Distribution
P2 : Draw it’s graph and explain
A : Drew the graph and explained
P2 : Ok thank you.
A : Thanked them both and left.

When are IIM K interviews ending? Anyone yet remaining for the interview?
Will interviews be postponed? Since Karnataka has had a number of confirmed cases and possibly many more undiagnosed, and with the state government's decree against public congregations, it's a pertinent Q. My interview's on the 17th in Bengaluru, need clarity to make plans.
The TN government has now issued an advisory against travelling to other states and my interview is in Bengaluru. There's a good chance inter state travel could become very restrictive in a day or two. Kozhikode, postpone the interviews please!
Better between the two?
- IIM Kozhikode
- MDI Gurgaon
