Puys,
How was the experience?I know this is wrong forum to ask the below question but please help. Did you guys had to submit "Attested copy of Passport size Photograph"? I don't have attested copy of Passport size Photograph. I have attested all other mentioned documents including Identification proof. Will this cause any hindrance ? Please reply.
Thanks,
Sameer Phalke.
Let me be the one to inaugurate this thread 
Centre - ELTIS, Pune
Date - 03/02/2012
Time - 1.00 PM
- The process started with a presentation of SIBM-B by the seniors followed by document verification. Note - The staff are extremely strict here, and will cross check each and every thing, so make sure all your papers, as stated in the admit card, are in order. Everything, from who attests your documents to what you state as your percentage, are cross checked. One of the aspirants got into hot water when the verifier found that even the E Mail Notification was attested. She went on about how can you attest something which has no original... etc etc etc. Also, make sure that the E Mail notification print out is taken as is from the mail box of yours, ie - Do not copy paste it into Word / Notepad and then print it. Again the verifier will ask - Anyone can do this, how can you prove this is a mail from us.... etc etc etc.
Photographs need NOT be attested. Just carry 2 photos, and write your name behind it, its sufficient.
- Next up was the GE. It was a standard GD, nothing GE about it. There were 16 persons, (9 Present in my group), one of us had to pick a chit from a bowl full of them, then 1 minute was given to think on it, followed by a 15 minute GD. The topic our group got was "Are celebrity endorsements effective?". Easy enough topic with much to say for both sides. We had a pretty balanced GD, with everyone contributing nicely. After this, everyone was asked to give their view (NOT summarize the GD) in 30 seconds, in 4-6 sentences.
- This was followed by a 10 minute SOP Writing (Surprise!). It had 3 questions, to be filled in 10 minutes. Paraphrasing, Q1 was about your career plans, Q2 about how SIBM-B fits into your long term plans, and Q3 about your non-academic extra-curricular achievements.
- Last up was the PI. Same panel as the GD, one faculty (a young lady), and 2 industry seniors (Elderly, and amiable). Before PI, there was a 2 minute extempore. Again, there was a bowl of chits placed in front of you, you had to pick one, think for a minute and speak for 2 minutes. My topic was "To react is negative and to respond is positive", It was pretty much a standard HR interview with all standard questions. It was an extremely chilled out discussion, and no acads or anything (Marks were discussed though). Standard questions about your strengths, challenges faced in life, your hobbies and interests, why MBA, Why SIBM-B etc. One recent news headline regarding Facebook, that's about it.
- The seniors were great. They are a bunch of chilled out people and will help you be comfortable and be at ease. The whole process went extremely smoothly, but, I found the waiting time a bit excessive, mainly thanks to the lengthy document verification. I was out at 5.45PM.
Sorry, not too detailed an experience posted, I know. Got SCMHRD GE/PI tomorrow, and SIIB GD/PI the day after. God alone knows what was the thing I was high on when I was booking the slots. 
ATB to all, it's a smooth process, so don't worry too much. 😁
Hi All,
After a grueling first two days of GE/PI process at Pune, we now look forward to candidates for tomorrow...
Sharing some pointers for all ( only my personal opinion/observation):
1. Carry all your documents- in original, as well as attested. Keep photocopies of the docs too..
I know this has been the biggest pain point of the candidates but as mentioned earlier, this time the document verification is objectively done as stated in the mail. I think you can sense the importance of carrying the documents as required by reading the above post..
2. Interact as much as you can during the presentations.. This is the time YOU can ask questions- we might not be able to satisfy you every time, but trust me we will try!
3. The process could go on for 3-4 hours or even more depending on the time the doc verif. and interviews take.. things we don't have much control.. so be prepared for any unforeseen delays and plan your further travels, other interviews, appointments etc accordingly..
4. If you don't have your original SNAP admit card (one with the SNAP Invig stamp on it)- please arrange it before you come for the process.. this was mentioned before too and I wanted to repeat it again... for your own convenience.
Just come with a confident and focused YOU, and YOU will sail through 😃

to be really frank...nothing can be done...i was there on Saturday without my stamped admit card.I gave the GD, was waiting for PI, and had verification in between. I was not allowed to give PI. And my GD was also deemed invalid.:banghead:
Now, I am going again on Monday, with my admit card(turned the house upside down to find it).
The officials are pretty strict this time around. Try and find it. NO other way.
p.s. SIIB allows you to give in case you have original SNAP results
Pls mention your gd topics and extempore topiks
Hi all,
My GD-PI experience:
GD : (Which everyone said will be a GE, turned out to be a plain GD).
topic: Borderless world: threat or welcome for the sovereign countries.
The GD was more like a fishmarket. Although I got the chance to start the GD 
but after that i rarely got a chance to speak 
. i was cut twice in between 
but i think 10 mins were too less for GD. there were 15 ppl in my group.:-o
after the gd, we were given a SOP. there were 3 questions in it
PI: First i was asked to pick up a chit from a bowl, there was a topic. about which i got 30 secs to think, and 60 secs to talk. dont worry it wont be anything difficult.:clap: then began the actual PI. well, i learned 1 imp lesson. if you have a work-ex, be prepared to be asked about your company and your industry. i couldn't answer a lot of questions about IT industry. :banghead:
A lot of general questions were asked to check what my view is towards a few general topics like gay marriage , ban on Salman Rushdie's visit etc.
Also be sure to select your words and dont repeat anything which you have said earlier. overall my pi wasnt that good either. :banghead:
Dont think i have any chances !!! :banghead::banghead::banghead:
Why don't the SIBM B'lore guys arrange any notary @ the interview center itself just in case for the candidates who miss out attesting any particular certi by mistake, when they are so particular about the attested docs. It was really pathetic to see some of the guys running here and there only to get their missed certi's attested :shock:.
PS:Personal opinion... NOM:grin:
When is the final list of candidates for SIBM-B to be announced?

Respect your opinion... But in my opinion, its not feasible .. I think it's the candidates' responsibility to appear with all the documents required(originals, attested, photocopies etc) ... Best of luck to all !
ashishkataria Saysi dont have my snap admit card anymore. please help ! my gd/pi is on the 11th
Sorry, without the original admit card (the one with the stamp), no one is allowed for GE/PI process.
