Hey y'all,
Had a minor query regarding the dress code, Will Blazer, with solids(Dark blue) Full sleeves shirt, Dark tie, dark trousers and of course formal shoes be a good option?
Also I'm a commerce final year student, so what kind of technical questions can i expect from the interview panel cuz GD/PI(personality) i can handle without panicking, but since my academic graph won't exactly make them dance with joy so am particularly concerned about Acad related questions; merely a brief idea would do. Would be glad if you could answer my questions. And yes the font size and type in my last post were too absurd ,could hardly read myself, anywayz hope this remedies the situation.
Hi,
to answer to your queries one by one......
1)that i answered in the earlier post
2)you have to assess the prob or the situation given to you....discuss what you think cld be the root of the problem.....and then as a team come up with the best possible solution for it......and that you do by putting fwd various solutions and discussing its pros and cons.....
3)they checking team work,how organised your thoughts are.....and how you react to a problem given to you......
4)again answered that in 2)......
5)talk just like in a gd......but for god's sake don't start off starightaway with....i think the sloution to the prob is.......and blah blah...........you have to make sure that the group first discusses the problem....the causes for it and based on that come up with solutions.....but all this while keep a check on the time cz you are expected to come up with atleast one solution as a group..........
6)its the best if the group has a final conclusion as a whole.....thats the whole idea of team work...........
and in many ways i feel that a case study is better than a GD cz in a GD you might get a topic that you have absolutely no idea about but few pple in the grp have huge knowledge about it....then you are screwed......in a case study your thinking process is checked...so that makes no different......and ur in a better position...howveer i repeat that its really very important that in a case study the group be oprganised......cz its really easy for the grp to get lost with some pple talking abt the cause of the prob and some one giving his solutions.......it all has to be systematic........
hope i was able to help u out

Gr8 stuffed displayed man.
Really learned lot frm it.I would like to add bit of my first hand experience at this which I myself faced at MYSORE SSB( IAF ).
U will get a situation and the basic difference is that in GD u have to provide u r own perspective , but in CASE STUDIES grps need to come at a common conclusion.Hence here first 3 minutes everybody needs to think abt the problem and then every individual gets 2 mins to speak and put forward there thoughts.
Either u can go clock wise or anti clock wise,but make sure that everybody gets a chance to speak up.
Also Discuss all the possible ways of solving the problem and make sure that u r grp comes at the most feasible solution possible.Its not as if u r solution might b the best so always b open to imbibe others idea to find the best possible ways.
Try to assume a leadership position whenever u feel that grp is going hayward, becoz I feel thats the best time to redirect the grp back to basics.
Also to philap dont u think that every thing is getting too dark u r whole appearence try to wear something light and sober blazer is ok but a light shirt inside would b fine.
Also regarding technical stuff just know u r accounting basics also accounting practices in US and India basic difference.
I will let u know more after consulting my B com frends.
Hope to gain more knowledge with mutual discussion .

Rocky

Hi digi ,
I really dont know how to motivate u, but let me tell u that u r better placed than most of the applicants at SIMS. U r an Engineer which I am not ,U might have scored more than me at HSC I have scored only 52% .
Regarding extra curri I never participated in any event, neither I have any gr8 work exp. But one thing I say to myself everyday that is I am better than the best. My frends have made it to IIMs and IIT but still I dont care coz I know real struggle starts once u r out of B school.
Just remember one thing that DO U R BEST AND GOD WILL DO THE REST AND IF HE DOESNT THAN HE HAS SOMETHING BETTER FOR U IN STORE.
Man u have 5 calls and if u say this to every interview panel u face ,they will look at u with gr8 respect beoz they know that this guy deserves to get into B schools.
For me life is like an never ending struggle and let me remind u that MBA is not end but a means towards the end.
So b positive and tell u r self that u r here becoz u deserve to b here.
Regards,
Rocky

Hi sonal ,
The questions posed by u probably wont b ask by the panel.Yes they will ask u abt ganguly controversy, wat they can ask u is technical stuff on cricket such as new rules of ICC for ODIs. And u r take on india pakistan criketing links......
So just brush up u r C.V in detail coz questios would b more of serious nature.
Regading u r next query I will defenitely try to find some gals going to SIMS for GD and dont worry we will make a grp and I will guide u guys atleast in PUNE to reach the centre and to find a decent accomodation.

Rocky

thanks dude...i did music therapy to myself and now charged up.....:D
thanks a lot for all the stuff and i also dont have any extra curiculr activities.....
thanks rocky and sonal for showing faith..
hi digi.........i guess somewhere deep down we all share the same fears.....
atleast u r better than many others......pple like me have as on now just 2 calls.....
so u with 5 calls shud feel more positive......its natural to think the way u r thinkin that what incase nt even a single gets cnverted.....cos the competition here is really cut throat...in such a scenario even if we r +ve we do tend to sometimes think about the consequences....but dont u worry.....take it in the +ve way...think that u have 5 calls....
much more than many others.......that way u wud b able to use that as a moral boosting factor and u l ROCK at the intv.................dont worry.........cngrats fr SCMHRD....i ditn make it:(..................so who all r givin intvs at Delhi???...sonal goin to pune i guess ..gathered that from reading the above posts......hope things turn out well fr all of us.....really nice to have a group fr all of us ...where we can share our concerns.......
its gr8........

Hi,
don't really know what to say cause just saw the GD/PI list of SIIB and didn't find my name there.....i knew already that I would have to be very lucky to have been shortlisted with a score of 71 in SNAP, however, still feels bad...........so just trying to put it behind me......plus whats irritating is that even though i have a 93.13%ile in CAT i still don't have a call in hand from any of the CAT instt and thats cz they haven't comeout with their respective lists.......i am quite sure that i wld be getting a few calls from that bt then again jab tak the letter doesn't arrive i can't be totally sure.......and all this waitng is really messing up my mind..........
so as of now i just have a single call from SIMS.......and since last year i wasn't able to convert it I'm quite scared about this time too..........just hoping for the best.........
btw congrats to all those who made it thru to the next stage of SIIB,SCMHRD,SIBM,SITM...............and all the best for the next round.........
as for SOnal's query.....i don't believe that the poeple at SIMS take any responsibility of your stay in pune....its all on you....however the best way is to just call up the the addmissions office at SIMS and confirm it yourself...........
and ya you were asking for pple going to pune from delhi......well i really dnt think you'll find too many cz there's a centre here in delhi as well................
still hoping that you find a decent engh company...........
Akshay:neutral:
dnt worry ya akshay u have a very decent percentile in cat...u l get calls....
i agree this waitin period can b pretty killin....just keep yr nerves aayeni aayengi....
there cudnt have been more tragedy than wats happened fr me....my sitm and siib dates have clashed.......this is called heights f tragedy..as it is there is a scarcity of calls....
and when they do come....this mishap happens.....
have gt no words but to curse my luck.......
hey sonal..i agree with akshay u wudnt find many pple from delhi to pune as delhi is a centre...why r u nt optin fr delhi(m sure u must b having a valid reason)........
m sure u l get a group f pple.......

Thnks for your words of comfort.......
hey dude, i dnt know what ur doing abt the prob that you have in hand......however, i wld just like to tell you a few things that i got to know from seniors at other threads at PG.....
cook up a good story and tell either of the instt that you wldn't be able to attend the GD/PI process on the date alloted to you....but plzzz don't mention that you have another GD/PI on the same date.......instead of that, use anything......if you can think of nthing else FAMILY ISSUES is the best excuse.......request them and they shld be accomodating........
do let me know how things work out and if you are able to manage a date change......
ALL THE BEST........
