Well.. the thing I would stress on the most for anyone attending PI sessions is.. Don't have standard answers. You'll come across many websites lisitng out the most probable questions and answers that would be asked in PI, do go through the questions.. but not the answers! The interview panel would have interviewed atleast a thousand guys in their experience and by book.. every one of us should be different. The reason why I want to do an mba and why in so and so college would be very different from others. The interview panel can detect standard answer like the foul stench of a rotten egg from a mile Away. Have your own answers. Let it be very genuine and unique. The latter part would be taken care of if you introspect and be true to Yourself In finding out answers. Like why mba, etc.. all the best fellow puys. Do share other 'common' important things. 👍

Hi guys ,
whats the WAT's duration ...??? 
Ok guys, here is something which I have arrived at, through logical reasoning 😛 :
Since the WAT portion is divided in 2 parts, i.e., 10 marks for "Creativity in the essay" and 10 marks for "Content in the essay", most probably the topics given for WAT, during the WAT-PI process, will be Abstract.
How did I arrive at this? See, Essays are mostly of 3 types: 1. Factual, 2. Abstract and 3. Case based
- For factual essays, more than creativity you need the knowledge of the subject. So, the factual part is inclined more towards "Content" and "Creativity" will be less.
- For Case based essays, it's more towards deriving a conclusion or deriving various implications of the given case. So, here also "Creativity" lags behind "Logic".
- For Case based essays, it's more towards deriving a conclusion or deriving various implications of the given case. So, here also "Creativity" lags behind "Logic".
- But for Abstract topics, like the one asked in XAT, one needs to use as much creative points as he/she can. One needs to include various aspects of life and surroundings in the essay and link them to the core of the topic.
Hence, I feel the topics that will come in the WAT-PI rounds will mostly be abstract.

Hi
If anyone can help me in figuring out what should we write objective in our bio data. Normally we write objective when we apply for a job, but in this case it could be a 2-liner SOP or something else
Since we are not given any particular format.
Puys, plz tell me if we need to give our choice in the PI regarding the one we wish.
are we supposed to arrange the docs in any particular format. Do we need to put an index in the beginning. Pls suggest. Dis will be my first PI/WAT.
Format of Biodata for SIU Interview(for those who might not have received):
Hi Puys,
