I started the GD/PI season with IIMK on the 9th of feb........the time for the start of the process was 9 am.........the venue-Hospitality Management Applied Training Centre at Dadar........I reached at around 8 in the morning and was the first one to reach......we were asked to wait in the room designated 'the senate'........this place was beautiful........the room inside was full of newspapers of the day......being the first one there i was quick to pick up one paper and started reading........people started trickling in slowly......in all there were around 30 of us when they finally began........
My name was announced in the 2nd GD panel......we were to head off straight for the GD room.........we were seated and a small piece of paper was handed over to us.....the topic was-a case study based on some one by the name of jayanti........she works in the bpo industry......she is called by the name Jane now by all her colleagues........also she celebrates 4th july as her independence day(???)........we were to discuss if the IT industry has eroded a whole generation of indian youth of 'indianness'......the discussion was to last 15 minutes although i dont think it did.......the guy next to me began and it was a bad start i think.........he didnt even define the topic and went ahead......i let him speak for about 10 seconds when i took it up........i gave the GD(or atleast tried to) give the GD a structure.........overall it was a good discussion where most people spoke........
when it finished we were asked to wait for our chance at the interviews........i was no4 in my panel......when we were waiting the whole of my group congratulated me on my GD performance......this gave me a lot of confidence as being appreciated by fellow participants should mean that i would be appreciated by the panel as well......
Anyway my no for the interview came and i was called in........now i dont remember the exact questions at the interview coz its been over a week now but i will try and recall the gist of it.........i think they also applauded my GD performance coz as soon as i entered they tried to stress me by saying that i looked older than my age..........anyway i didnt say anything but smiled........there was a guy and a lady in the 2 member panel........the guy basically asked me acads based questions where my performance was mediocre........the lady was more interested in economics and HR questions like why MBA?........i think my performance was satisfactory there..........there were no questions on the filled form that i had submitted,none on my hobbies and interests........
anyway at the end of it if i were to rate my performance i would give myself a 4/5 on the GD........the interview though was average and i will only give myself a 2.5 on 5 here........so overall i think the interview could have been much better if i had done a little better in the questions based on acads........
my interview lasted around 20 minutes......and i was done with the whole process by 11......overall it was a very enjoyable experience especially the GD part.........there is no point in guessing one's chances at these interviews so i wont even try........i will just hope for the best.........:)
