congrats for getting the call..
XAT score & GD/PI score have equal weightage for the final admission...so you definitely need to push a little harder...
institutes would still be admitting students for GD/PIs, i guess....but in any case, you should start preparing by yourself as well....go thru the newspaper everyday...ideally, a financial daily and a national daily would be good enuf to prepare for the GDs and wud also be helpful for the PIs...
understand the organisational structure of the company where you were working and be ready to face any work related questions...brush up a bit of acads...be comfortable in atleast one subject...
apart from this, just try to feel a bit relaxed in even harsh situations.. 😁
Hi!
The code to crack GD/PI on any given day is a)confidence b)knowledge and c)communcation. if u have on that day these 3 things in mind, u will b here(obviously lady luck gotta smile on u).
Knowledge means being cognizant bout urself. current affairs, wat u had in ur graduation(b v sure bout 1 subject atleast) and learning from the dos n donts that both succesful n unsuccesful candis learnd frm their gd n pi... though its easier said than done but thats watz reqd of u. start reading opinion n editorial sections of newspapers(u must ve startd that) n discuss them with ur frenz n family or with urself... this will improve ur communication skills n ull learn 2 accomodate others views n ull find others in the grup listening 2 u 2... then u get ur point across...2 much aggressive behavior n gestures r not accepted by most of the colls.its bout the art of negotiation... gd tests ur behavior in a grup n pi tests u on different aspects of ur personality by ur reactions(thru gestures or answers). so guys! this is the time 2 show what u r n wat u r made of n the time 2 show that u deserve 2 b there..so dont b afraid.now the ball is in ur court!
Hi ALL
Got a call ..expected one. Can any one tell when are the GD and interview dates will be. Approximately. Also whether this will be before XLRI interviews or later. Thanku all ximb guys for ur support

hey i have a serious doubt.... I was told that the essay written in xat would be considered only by xlri... but in the thread of previous yr's gd/pi experiences it was mentioned that the panelists read ru essay and question u on it.. can u please tell me what the procedure is like this year..
is ximb using the essay or not??
a copy of the essay is made available to the panelists...so u may be asked questions relating to it...
but, there is no weightage attached to the essay in the final selection...it is to be used for reference purpose only...
moreover, if you dont remember what you have written, just be frank to tell that you do not remember distinctly what you had written...and please dont try to bluff or 'faff'...

hey della,
lemme tell u how the essay came into the picture during my interview. one of the panelist underlined a sentence from the essay and asked me to read it aloud. then they started grilling me on that particular sentence, what it meant, wat it spoke of me as a person, etc etc. To be more specific, they outrightly told me that i wasnt fit enough to be a manager (based upon the conclusion they drew of me given that i had written the sentence) and that i should concentrate on research work and go for a Ph.D

Congrats Rahul :)
To answer ur question, well, i wud say yes and no. Yes, it will create a good impression, and no, it will not be ur entry pass to XIMB. Similarly, ppl wit not so good acads needn't feel that they have no chance. Its all about justifying ur grades and sectionals in case they r not on the higher side.
Hi.. the gd/PI shortlist link doesnt seem to be working.. any ideas on how to check if i got thru?
Congrats every1 who did get thru!!
I had a doubt about the weightage given to orissa domiciles...i know that noone has a specific idea as to what that weightage is..
whats the ratio of orissa/ non-orissa ppl?
is it really hard for ppl from outside orissa to get in..
regards

cooldivay Saysis their a specific percentage given to xat score for final selection
Your final selection generally depends on the following parameters
1: XAT score
2: Educational background
3: Work-ex (if any)
and 4: Performance in the GD/PI
Guess its the same for most of the BSchools.
So you can compensate for shortcomings in other sections by performing well in the GD/PI. But rest assured, having a great XAT score doesnt really guarantee admission at XIMB 😃

Well if you know you'll do well in GD/PI, then why are you getting nervous about it ? 😃 Just take it easy and perform as if its just another GD/PI 😁
