Hey guys....had my gd/pi today.

Case study was regarding problem faced by some trucking company....went off well after the initial fish market.

Both PI's went smooth....wasn't grilled on acads....but on Marketing and auto industry.


Was impressed by the campus and hostel....and the seniors were very kind and cool.

All the best to every1 for the results

hi guys!

My interview like everyone's was pretty fine.....
The GD was a simple case and thanks to my group that it never became a fish :grab: market ,instead everyone was supportive and so it got over in 20mins only......
Then came my first interview:
There was some President of Tata and a young Fellow...
P)WHich field of MBA?
ME) Marketing
P)Why?
M)I think I m suited for it....
P)diff. bw selling and marketing??
M) Blah blah....gave some jargon...
p)Do U have fire in ur belly
M)As a son of army man yes and this is wat I have learnt from my father....to be myself without thinking wat others think abt me...and be a winner all my life..
P)Strengths?
M)Self determined,dynamic,convincing.
P) But U cant convince me?


M)I m trying hard,let me do it..
etc etc....approx 20mins

2nd interview was tougher ,a very old man and a middle aged person

Old man was really very aggressive ,might be an engineer himself

All sorts of Why MBA and not MTech....and what after 10 yrs...Why SIMS...Where did U hear abt SIMS....What abt Indian Economy,China ,USA all .....

20mins

AT the end I wud lie to congratulate all of us for making this thread a success... this wud give SIMS the required recognition and publicity:grab: ...Best of LUck to all and keep posting.....1March is quite:grab: 😃 far....................................................

hi
i had my interview on 11th of Feb,sorry for the delayed post.Actually i was not well.But as u had read it was very routine sort of .

But in my second interview even i had a slight feel of that so called stress interview................


a odd kind of looks on the very very correct answers also??: ...............

let's see what happens nxt.

on emore thing whichi came to know is that this time the ratio of selecting student is 1:3:) .One of the senior told us in PUNE that this time they had called 900 students for 300 seats.

GOOD LUCK TO ALL OF US

hi guys!
Even I came to know from a senior that this time they have called less number of ppl for interviews(that is why the cutoff has also gone high at 55) so the ratio is 1:2.5,and this is for sure as he confirmed from an interviewer...So the chances are really high.
One more thing I came to know is that there are 5 criteria in interviews for evaluation(each of 20 marks)and 65-70 is a good score in that...And yes ur GD is more important than PI becoz PI was very relaxed..So,chill guys we all pagals will rock SIMS
Guys,
So all is well thats ends well.Lets hope our good performance results in final selestion too.
Yup saurabh it was really nice to meet u at SIMS and I hope all of us make it to SIMS.
Hi EKA wats u r snap score dude bit anxious to know.
Regards,
Rocky

hi guys.
had my interview on 11th at SIMS ... and it was good..The psycho test was interesting.. and the GD was a war zone.. i mean every one wanted to talk and no one made any sense...

the interviews were a breeze .. the usual questions were asked... but no technical and hardly any CA.. At the end of the agonisingly long 5 hours the process was over...

Mostly i should get through .. but u never know.

can u guys rank the following colleges:
SIMS,KJ Somaiya, Welingkar,TAPMI

i am thoroughly confused so a little help will be appreciated

Tapmi definitely before the others.

KJ - SIMS would be close.....KJ would probably be a lil ahead. But SIMS infrastructure is real good . Placements have been quite similar. Both have quoted 5L+ avg salaries. KJ is working on renovating n stuff. Some how i find the services kids factor give SIMS a better crowd too. Plus sims belongs to the Symbiosis tag. All u have to tell others after u pass out is that u were from symbi...unless specifically asked.

Welingkar - Well even welingkars have quoted an avg of 5L.....but some how....personally i would still rank it below KJ n SIMS

can u guys rank the following colleges:
SIMS,KJ Somaiya, Welingkar,TAPMI

i am thoroughly confused so a little help will be appreciated

hey,
1.TAPMI:c'mon U cannot keep it in this league,it is way ahead all the other three........Its among top 15.
2.I would say its Wellingkars,though placements are almost alike it has got the name and the selection process is much tougher...Also,now a days ppl do choose it over KJ.
3.Its ur choice now,KJ or SIMS...Both have almost equivalent placements and SIMS is much better infra wise...KJ has got tough competition than SIMS..But at the end its ur personel choice which matters..

I wud also like to mention one point here. Guys ,SIMS has not got the required recognition because it is specially for ppl with defencew background so the civilians dont know abt it much,also when a college is reserved for a special class the selection process is a bit eased out...But if it was open for all I think the competition would have been much tougher seeing its infra and all...So,Just listen to ur heart and make the choice...Best of luck

yup i agree but we need to c the personal growth factor too & wat about gelling up with ppl.we willsuit the bill if we r comfortable with ppl with same family background

a big HELLO to all u frnds out here...
