Can a senior tell us about the dress code?
Formals with a blazer or without a blazer?
5
And could a senior also tell us the type of caption you're supposed to give to the Video discussion?

Should it be like a punch line? Can it be funny? etc etc.

And what is the panel looking for in a candidate?

There isn't any dress code as such. However, make sure it is a minimum of formals

First of all appropriate attire is just formals. Blazers are not mandatory.

Regarding GDs, start reading on various topics and get urself updated. When reading also try to analyse the topic and come out with ur own points regarding the topic. Take part in mock GDs. it helps in better analysing and increases ur confidence.

A GD is not a debate and scmhrd definately does not like any fish market scenarios. They want a mature discussion, where the group moves to some sort of conclusion. And the most important of all is LISTENING skills. Please listen when others are speaking. GD Panels definately looks at the listening skills of any candidate. MY 1st GD was based on a video clip and the 2nd one was a case study. You can read my experience which is there in my signature.

Cheers!!

Hi Everybody,

Received call from scmhrd!!

Tell me what will be the process like this year?
Same as last year?? video clip, then case study, essay writing and in the end interview??
Every round is an elimination round??
Is essay writing also an elimination round??
Do they ask you to write the same essay every year??
Why MBA and your short term and long term goals??

One more thing how long is the process ??
Does it start on time or generally late??
Actually i m flying in from delhi , so might touch down in pune just in time, so a bit worried...moreover it will be my first gd pi experience!!

How should one start for case study and video clip??
any kind of help will be useful seniors and the rest as very little time is there for prep!!!

The process would take a max of about 5 hours, if you qualify for the personal interview. We try to start on time usually, considering the tight schedule.

Please do not assume that there will be a case study and video clip this time. However do come prepared just in case.

So what that suggests is that we only have a PI once we clear the Group activity round???

what are we required to do in the 'video clip' part of the gd?what is it's objective? and what sort of documents are we required to bring? is there any fixed no. of people who are selected from a single group?

Was going through last year's SCMHRD gd/pi thread... noted that the conduct was not just restricted to pune...and was conducted in bangalore, kolkatta etc.
why the change this year? normal train tickets from chennai to pune not available. Waiting for tatkal quota :sleepy:...

Also saw the PIs of many people being conducted the next day after the GD though it was not mentioned before. Can the same happen this time too?. Need to book tickets accordingly. My slot is at 11 am 28 jan.
Another query. waht should be the attire for the gd/pi... Is a tie part of the formals ? sorry abt my ignorance

The venue is not the campus but International Convention Centre in Senapati Bapat Road in Pune.
A prepaid rickshaw from the airport should cost around Rs.130-150. It should take you around 30-45minutes to the venue.

Last year, students were asked to discuss the video clip. Can't say if the same thing will be this year as well.

You will require to bring all the documents that support what you filled in the form. You also need identity proof and photographs. A detailed email will be sent on 21st.

There is no fixed number of people selected from a group. There is a minimum score set and and everyone who clears the same is through to the PI round.
