Venue - SCMHRD
Guys, looking at last years thread, it seems topics get repeated (Also, even the rough sheets were immediately taken after the GE), hence, I am not posting the topic names, however, if someone can confirm that it isn't the case, I'll be glad to edit my post and add the details. :)
- Reporting area is the auditorium. It's a nice place, and there are various presentations of SCMHRD that are being played there. Here, you undergo a process called Identity Verification - Just carry your Photo ID and the seniors will provide you with your auto generated CV (Based on the form you filled - What a downer, I didn't fill it up entirely seriously, and now can only hope I don't pay the price for that....), and a folder with a few puzzles, directors message, a pen and a nice notepad. š You are also given your "docket no" to wear, basically your Group ID.
- After this, you move into a room labelled "GE Waiting Area" (I think), which is actually a conference room. Here, you are made to sit as per your Group Tags, and a writing test is conducted. The writing test is a standard essay writing on a non-factual topic, is of 300 words (2 A4 sides), and you have to backup your perspective with reasons / examples. You are given 15 minutes for the same.
- Next up is the Group Exercises. This was on the 5th floor of the campus building, and the seniors escorted us. It was eerily similar to school. (Form a line, Move in line, Don't break it!! Whats worse, this "parade" was done before the entire group of SCIT aspirants. 
) There are 2 GE's, and they happen immediately one after another with no breathing space in between.
GE1 - Case Study - You are given a page with a particular case study. To study that, you are given 5 minutes, and 15 minutes to discuss and reach a consensus. The group had just 6 members, so don't worry. You will get ample opportunity to put forward your views.
GE2 - Group Task - Another situation is given to you, and you have to resolve it in a way you think fit. You are given 5 minutes to write down your thoughts, then everyone gets 1 minute to express their views, then 15 minutes to reach a consensus.
Remember guys, there are just 5-6 people, so, no dominating the GE, and no reaching a consensus by voting / show of hands (Explicitly mentioned, damn (:P))
- Next, its back to the waiting area. Your SID key is put up on the projector, so you can check your PI slot. There are quite a large number of PI panels, so PI experiences may vary wildly. Also, don't worry too much about it, the seniors will come to call you and escort you to your respective PI room (Again :P). Also, refreshments were served at this point of time. My PI panel had two gentlemen, one young looking and one elderly looking. It was an extremely relaxed chat that is more or less the norm. Some samples of the questions I faced:
* Tell me about yourself
* Final Year Project Details (Computer Engineer - Fresher)
* Few academic questions (Couldn't answer. Didn't have such detailed concepts, and I brushed up on my two fav subjects )
* Next was a few HR questions like tough situations in your life, where things didn't go as per your wishes / expectations, strengths and weaknesses
* After this, it was all on hobbies, a lot of discussions on my hobbies, ranging from Computer Gaming () to my choice of music, including a discussion of FIFA attacking and defense techniques and the latest NFS Games. Just loved it.
- After this, is the document verification process. Far less stringent (Not really the correct term, TBH) than SIBM-B , but it took just 2 minutes where they added your marks and tallied it, and checked your certificates.
- Last, you are to get back to the Auditorium, hand over the Checklist and the feedback form (All straight 5's here, check below), then, you are free to leave.
Few other pointers:
- The process was extremely professionally done with seniors being with you every step of the way to show you the way, answer any queries, and making you comfortable. Hats off for an amazing experience.
- The process was carried out swiftly, considering the fact there were 4 rounds. I was free to go before 4PM!
Overall, a greatly enjoyable experience. One more tomorrow, then looking forward to 
ATB to all left. š
