Presuming that you are eager on this subject, let’s get to business straight away.

Here is a list of Most Frequent Interview Questions :

1 ) Introduce yourself !

9 out of 10 times, you will find this as the first question of an interview. Quite surprisingly, over 80% people aspiring for their first interview find this difficult. The basic idea behind this question is to make you feel comfortable. There is nothing tricky in this as the interviewer is giving you space to get your senses together. The most general answer to this question is :

“I am ABC, currently pursuing MBA from XYZ university. I am currently working with EFG Limited as a Developer. I am currently drawing a CTC of Rs.10,000 p.m. I have done my graduation from ….so on.”

Avoid such kind of answers as this can ruin your first impression. All these details are mentioned in your CV and there is no point on reciting same things again. Another important thing to take care off is Grammar. Avoid using sentences like “Myself Mr. ABC,…… so on.” The term Myself Mr. ABC here is grammatically incorrect. Be careful. Take this question as an opportunity to get up close & personal with the interviewer and create a healthy atmosphere for interaction. Infact, one of the earlier posts by Mr. Vaibhav Mittal on “How to introduce yourself in an Interview” will provide you a complete idea to answer this question. However, an example answer to this could be :

“I am a fun loving person, who believes in Live life as it comes. I am very fond of classical music and have acquired a professional degree in this also. Playing online chess is my favourite pastime. I believe Internet is the future of human civilization and would love to see myself as a successful Marketing Manager.”

2 ) Where do you see yourself after 5 years from now ?

Here, the interviewer wants to check your instincts. He wants to know whether you are a practical person or a day dreamer. This question is to check your planning skills. Avoid giving answers like “CEO of this organization or HOD of a department.” If you are an executive, Manager is the maximum you can attain in five years. (The designation maybe different according to your industry but the common thing is that you will be in Middle Level Management.) Some of you might be thinking of another answer i.e “I want to see myself as the best in my profile.” Be very clear on a fact that nobody can be the Best. You can only be first among equals. By giving such answers, you are reflecting that you have no vision. Rather you are happy to be the same after 5 years. Therefore the following answer can be the most suitable one :

“I would imagine myself being in middle level management after 5 years from now. “

3) If not selected today, what will be your future course of action?

This is the second check point for your practical instincts. Here the interviewer is analyzing your approach toward failures. The most popular answer to this question is – “If  I am not selected today, I will try in some other organization.”  This is an answer which can ruin the positives you have attained/will be attaining in the interview. You need not tell your worth at any point during an interview. It’s the job of the interviewer to decide how efficient you are. Avoid leaving the impression of an opportunist. The most apt answer to this interview question can be :

“I believe in Learning from my mistakes. Likewise, if  I am not selected today, I will kindly request you to tell me my shortcomings so that I can go back, work on those and sit again in front of you (obviously if rules allow) to turn my failure into success.”

4) If in case you are working on bidding for a project which is very important for organization’s growth. Will you consider bribing the authority to ensure decision in your favour?

Now it’s time for a personality test. At the first level, the interviewer wants to test your diplomacy. Be very clear that this question has no connection with your family values or principles. It’s just to test your art of handling tricky situations. Every organization wishes to hire people who can think smartly. Thus, avoid giving a Yes or No straight away. The best possible answer to this can be :

“Sir, I have been brought up in a family with high moral values. I consider my workplace as my family. If an awkward situation arises, I will try my level best to resolve it amicably. However, if it requires me to bribe someone for the well being of my family, I will definitely consider it.”

By giving this answer, you will surely sink deep inside the mind of your interviewer.

5) How many hairs on your head?

Since your diplomacy has been evaluated in the previous question, it’s time to judge your smartness. Be crystal clear that this question isn’t to create a relaxing atmosphere, rather it aims to test your presence of mind. Don’t give any vague answers like “As many on your head” or “I have never counted”. Just let them know your smartness by saying :

“As many stars in the night sky”. (Don’t forget to put a little smile on your face.)

This way you will maintain the humour as well as prove your mental strength to the interviewer.

6) What will you do when you come across a whistle blower at your workplace?

After diplomacy and smartness, now it’s time for maturity. This question is to test your character as a professional. There are many distracting people around you at the workplace. This includes all those “Boss Favourites” and “Office Politicians”. The interviewer wants to know how you tackle them. Don’t reply with “I will go and discuss if there is any personal problem with him.” Nobody is interested to share his/her personal life at the workplace. Be careful not to answer this way. Also, avoid answers like “I will complain to his/her reporting authority”. This answer devaluates your rating as a team man. Just give a simple answer :

“I will not repent until his/her activities start hampering me or my team’s productivity. If the situation goes beyond control, I will kindly bring the matter to the notice of his/her reporting authority.”

7 ) Tell me something about your previous boss.

Your personality test is now over. It’s time for professional aspects. Here, the examiner wants to analyze your track record. Be very judicious with your words usage because this is a showcase in which the interviewer expects himself to be in after 2-3 months. The most general answer to this question is :

“He is one of the best professionals I have come across. But unfortunately, I had a number of disagreements with him. He is not open to suggestions and always insists on his sayings. Infact he is one of the reasons I am leaving that organization.”

This shows that you have a malicious track record. Answering in this negative way will surely hamper your chances of selection. Another popular answer to this question is :

“He is a very good man with exceptional skills. He always encourages me to learn new things. He has helped me a lot to develop my skills and it’s he who has brought me to this level.”

Avoid this one too. Don’t overemphasize on your boss or else you will be judged as a stooge. If your boss is such an eminent personality than why are you leaving the organization? You will end up in a web of such questions. The best possible answer to this can be :

“He is an excellent person to work with. Always ready to share his experiences. I have learnt many things from him and will always count on him at difficult situations.”

8 ) Ask me 2 questions of your choice.

This is the second level of your professionalism test. Many of you may consider this as the simplest of all questions in an interview. But to your surprise, this is the most important tool for an interviewer to verify your candidature so far. He wants to know whether your answers are a result of “overnight preparation” or you actually own that sense of professionalism. That’s why you should be cautious to ask questions. Avoid asking things like “How is the incentive structure”, “What is the employee strength?”,”What will be my reporting hierarchy?”, “Can you elaborate your business model?”and one most general one “When will I get the response for my interview?” All these questions are miles away from the mind of a professional aspirant. Even talking about the business model is no less than stupidity. Whenever you come for an interview, you are expected to have already gone through the company website and other stuff. The most preferred answer could be :

“There is not much I would like to ask but if you could give me a brief idea on future expansion plans it would be great.”

9 ) Why this company ?

This is the last level of your professional test. Till now, the interviewer is almost done with you. He just wants to confirm his evaluation. I assume that nobody of you would say stuff like “As the call came from your HR department regarding an opening, so I am here.” The most obvious answer to this is :

“I think working in an esteemed organization like yours will definitely help me to evolve as a complete professional. I believe that I can make the best use of my existing capabilities in a constructive working environment like herein.”

10) Why should I select you?

Now this marks the end of an interview. But don’t conclude that you can take it easy. Rather a judicious reply can assure you a place in your dream organization. The interviewer is now completely aware of your in & outs. Now he is just enquiring if something has gone unnoticed. Thus, a little word here and there from your side and you will create a trap for yourself. Just reassess what you have said and assert only those facts. Generally people say “You should select me because I am a hard worker and will do my best to achieve organizational goals. I will prove to be an asset to the organization.” Simply avoid such replies. You have already told your worth with your answers. Don’t elaborate yourself. The most preferred answer is :

“Since you have now evaluated me on all your benchmarks, I believe you would know better if I should be selected for the profile or not. As from my side, my job is my passion and that’s a one word summary of my candidature.”

Remember that an interview is the ultimate gateway to your dream organization. If you are not amongst the few unlucky ones, your interview shall be a 20 minutes interaction with someone who will test your personality & professionalism. Each & every question will check your level & sense of understanding.

This concludes my post on “How to Crack an Interview.” I wish you can get maximum answers to your queries on aspiring for an interview. Feel free to share your opinion on any of the above points. All the questions and answers discussed are solely based on my online research and Business Communication lectures of Prof. Gaurav Vashisht (IMT – Ghaziabad).

Frame: In our lives we play many roles. Our roles are not restricted to job only, we are part of society we have to play family & societal roles also.

The middle way  path is moderate path between two extremes. The middle path does not mean a mid point in a straight line joining two extremes represented by points. Buddha realized the meaning of the Middle Way when he sat by a river and heard a lute player in a passing boat and understood that the lute string must be tuned neither too tight nor too loose to produce a harmonious sound.

• How to prepare for the question ‘Why MBA’?

Guys,
Let’s understand one thing. Whatever we are today, we are as a result of ‘torture’ that has been done on us by our teachers in schools, teachers in college, parents, family, society and may be in cases of some of us by our bosses.

What we have been exposed to has made us develop a taste for something, at the same time anti-taste for some other things. In our childhood we have nurtured what we have developed taste for. And in the process we have developed certain skills and certain qualities.

Now, we want to do an MBA, Right.

Let’s understand that theoretically we should try to explore the qualities we possess and should choose a career where we can utilize our qualities. For e.g. I liked explaining things a lot to friends, to people around me, when I was in school. Hence I picked up teaching as a hobby. And when I saw myself excelling in teaching, I thought of making a career in teaching. When I looked more into it, I realized that I like teaching UNCONVENTIONAL ways of solving questions. And so I moved into MBA/CAT teaching and left Engineering entrance exams etc long back.

I hope you are getting an idea of what I am trying to explain.

Now, we have decided to do an MBA, irrespective of the fact our qualities support MBA or not and at the moment we are only interested in designing an answer to ‘Why MBA?’.

So here I go.

Understand this that as a manager you will be required to possess certain qualities, for e.g. present mindedness, time management, perseverance. These are just examples. There are many more, in fact. Now, understand this that MBA will develop certain qualities in us which are important to pursue a career as a manager. But then certain qualities are required to do MBA for e.g Hard work.

Understand this, that till now, I have spoken about 3 phases. What you are now?(Lets call it A) What you expect you will be after MBA?(Lets call it C) and What MBA will imbibe in you? (Lets call it B)

Understand this now. In order to answer the question ‘Why MBA?’ you have to do a mapping of A, B and C. Your answer should look something like this.

‘During my schools days, I use to do this that blah blah blah…And I started developing …..(mention the skills).. When I started thinking about the career during my graduation, I realized that these skills can make me …(Talk of Life as a manager or if you see yourself as an entrepreneur). At this time, I felt the need of doing an MBA because it will develop …(talk of certain skills) and at the same time I think (the skills I possess) will help in doing an MBA and hence an MBA’…

Guys, Note that if you design an answer like this, first of all you will get a better idea as to why you should be doing an MBA. And don’t you think that if you will know better why you want to do an MBA , you will be able to convince them better. Also note one thing, that when you will design first draft of your answer, that may turn out to be a 2-3 page answer.

Never mind, after 3-5 editing your answer will become a perfect answer that too customize to you. And after 3-5 reading/changes/editing you will be able to say it in lesser words as well.

One more thing, when I suggest this method of designing answer, many of my students end up designing a 5-7 minutes answer. You know that they are not going to hear the you for more then 1-2 minutes. Still, I am saying make a long answer, reason being, when you are in an actual interview, I know you will forget a lot of things. So I know by experience that a 5-7 minutes answer will reduce to 3-4 minutes answer after a couple of editing and changes. And in actual interview a 3-4 minute answer will turn out to be a 1 to 1.5 minute answer. I am telling you hardly anyone of you will be able to touch 2 minute or cross that.

All the Best, designing this answer.Similar Posts:

Yesterday I was watching ZEITGEIST MOVING FORWARD and the one word that stuck in my mind is “Planned obsolescence”.

Taking one more steps to dump stuffs qucikly corporation used one more technique called “perceived obsolescence”, to convince us to throw away goods that are still perfectly useful. How do they do this? They change the way things look.

1. Fashion is a prime example of this: It encourages us to value ourselves and others by the clothes we wear and the cars we drive, and to keep up with the current trends.

Summarizing the issue: We have become a nation of consumers, and this has become our primary identity. We buy and throw out so much stuff that we are going to create one more Himalaya of trash. Our earth has limited resources & if we will be continued with this habbit then will left with nothing for our future generations. So think before buying unnecessary items and creating waste.

At this juncture, we wish to CONGRATULATE those who have already got  calls and we also wish to take you ahead to the second level of the process of getting into your dream B-Schools. Yes, you are thinking right. We are talking of Group discussion and Personal Interview preparation.

Let me give you a glimpse of ‘What does a GD and a PI check you on’? Answer is straight and simple. Written exam has checked you on your aptitude. Now is the time when you should be checked on your attitude: attitude towards life, attitude towards your career and attitude towards the society as a whole.

Attitude makes your overall persona. How you carry yourself? How you present yourself, especially in a formal group? How you know your own self – Your strengths and weaknesses, your goals, your ambitions, your dreams? How much of the world around you, you know? Do you mean everything you have written in your biodata and/or the IIFT form, for e.g. These are a few things to begin with, which are part of your persona.

Persona is something which cannot be developed or changed in 2 to 3 weeks time (That’s the time you typically get between your calls and actual GD-PI). I am sure, you all with agree with me on this. And therefore, we have specially designed a 2 months course for group discussion and personal interview training. Our GD-PI module answers all the questions above mentioned and many more.

Let me, in short, run through what our GD-PI program is. It’s actually a series of events. It includes close to 40 hours of classroom training and unlimited number of hours of off-the-class training.  I can share with you what is/are covered in in-the-class training. There are minimum of 2 Group discussion orientation lectures and similarly 2 Personal interview orientation lectures. There will be 1 session on Essay writing, specially meant for XAT but not just for XAT. There will be 1 psychometric test session, 1 MET(Mica entrance Test – a test of your creative skills). Most importantly there will be minimum of 12 Group discussions and minimum of 2 PIs(Personal Interview) for all. NOTE that you can have as many PIs as you want, just that you need to bring as many different calls from B-schools as is the number of PIs you want.

In addition, you will have a series of GK Lectures specially focusing the content you may require in a GD or in an interview.

In addition, you will have a mentor allotted to you, who is usually an industry expert. These mentors are our alumni from IIMs, XLRI, FMS, IIFT, MDI, S P Jain and what not.

If I talk of off-the-class sessions, I know I will not be able to do justice with them, in words. To tell you a little, you will have a ZION Ghost behind you almost all the time. We will be discussing and charting out answers to the questions ‘Where do you see yourself 5 years down the line’, ‘Why do you want to do MBA’, ‘If you don’t get selected this year, what should you be doing’ etc etc etc. I hope you have understood that I am talking of the typical cliché questions you may face in real PIs. I hope you will agree with me that answer to these questions are highly personalized and many times you don’t even want them to be shared with other students in class. And so all such sessions are a part of off-the-class training. And so these sessions usually happens over a cup of Tea or coffee. You know ‘a lot can happen over a coffee’ – Café Coffee day. Ohh am I marketing CCD or Barista here!! Never mind.

More importantly, unlike other CAT training institutes, we have very limited seats in GD-PI training module. GD-PI module is so much student-centric that the plethora of Faculty members which we have, that also turns out to be too little. And we specifically do not believe in treating a patient who requires special attention in the same way a patient of cough-cold or viral well be treated. There has to be special treatment of those who have got calls from premiere B-schools or the B-school of his/her choice.

All the best

WHY THE EXISTING ANTI-CORRUPTION BODIES ARE INEFFECTIVE
CVC

1. No jurisdiction over politicians, only bureaucrats
2. No power to register criminal cases. It deals only with vigilance or disciplinary matters
3. No direct power over departmental vigilance wings. It mostly forwards corruption complaints to them and keeps sending reminders
4. Supervisory powers over CBI have made little difference as CVC can’t call for any file or issue directions to the agency

DEPARTMENTAL VIGILANCE WINGS

1. Manned mostly by officials from within same department, on temporary basis
2. Since each wing is under direct control of head of department, can hardly probe any senior official of that department.
3. Even otherwise, in complaints against senior colleague, vigilance officer might hesitate as he could be posted later under the same person
4. No jurisdiction over politicians and no power to register FIRs against anybody. Can only deal with disciplinary proceedings

CBI

1. Though it can book cases against bureaucrats and politicians, CBI’s independence compromised as it comes directly under Centre’s control
2. Government control leaves it vulnerable to charges of investigations being politically motivated
3. Since it is overburdened, CBI does not accept cases unless amount involved runs into crores
4. Cannot book cases against officers above the rank of joint secretary without prior sanction from their department

Similar structural deficiencies lead to impunity for corruption at the state level

• Tutes GD 1″Growth v/s Environment”
• Unequal regional Growth in India

Arguments in favour of topic

• Growing economic activity (production and consumption) requires larger inputs of energy and material, and generates larger quantities of waste by-products.  Increased extraction of natural resources, accumulation of waste and concentration of pollutants will therefore result in the degradation of environmental quality and a decline in human welfare, despite rising incomes.
• Furthermore, it is argued that degradation of the resource base will eventually put economic activity itself at risk.  To save the environment and even economic activity from itself, economic growth must cease and the world must make a transition to a steady-state economy.

Arguments against the topic

• The fastest road to environmental improvement is along the path of economic growth: with higher incomes comes increased demand for goods and services that are less material intensive, as well as demand for improved environmental quality that leads to the adoption of environmental protection measures.  As environmental protection measures are adopted, demonstrates that in the longer run, the surest way to improve your environment is to become rich.

Mixed arguments

• The implied inverted-U relationship between environmental degradation and economic growth came to be known as the “environmental Kuznets curve,” by analogy with the income-inequality relationship postulated by Kuznets. At low levels of development, both the quantity and the intensity of environmental degradation are limited to the impacts of subsistence economic activity on the resource base and to limited quantities of biodegradable wastes.  As agriculture and resource extraction intensifies and industrialization takes off, both resource depletion and waste generation accelerate.
• At higher levels of development, structural change towards information-based industries and services, more efficient technologies, and increased demand for environmental quality result in leveling-off and a steady decline of environmental degradation.

I am writing this post based on  personal experience and tips  that me and most of my friends  followed, who made finally to IIM A, B,C and L also in XLRI, IIFT and FMS, during our fight to win the RAT[CAT] races of our lives.

To give you a brief about GD[what/why?]

A GD is a method  to gauge whether the candidate has certain personality traits and/or skills that an institute desires its students possess. This way institutes judge if the candidate fits into its cultural setup, or if the candidate’s personality is going to add a different flavor to the existing culture.

Points that a GD brings out about candidates personality-

Ability to work in a team
Communication skills [including listening, speaking and expressing]
Reasoning ability
Leadership skills
Initiative
Assertiveness
Flexibility
Creativity
Ability to think on ones fee

How to approach a GD

Always use time given for before discussion starts judiciously and efficiently

Step 1:   Read/ listen to the topic very carefully

Step 2:   Identify the main ideas and themes about the topic

Step 3:   Write your points on the sheet provided and try to structure them [5-6 points are enough]

Tip:- try to remember to link your examples to point from the readings and experiences you had relating them to the main topic

Roles people play during a GD

1. Initiatingt the GD started by introducing the topic to the groups and adding his points

2. Facilitating participation of all the groups members, If  anyone or few dominate a group moderator tries to control that,

3. Keeping the content of discussion around the core issue

4. Giving and asking for information & reactions & critiques

5. Discussing and questioning each other’s interpretations of materials

6. Summarizing what the group has said and moving on giving new direction to the discussion

7. Final conclusion

Strategies you may adopt

Competing without a strategy will take you nowhere, unless you are planning to reach nowhere.

Depending upon the comfort level with the topic you must decide in the beginning which role will you be playing in a particular GD. Same strategy for all the GDs that you may be participating in may not be a good strategy as a person a different level of comfort with different topics. So choose a role carefully rather strategically. If you are comfortable playing multiple roles and very swiftly you can switch roles and use your strengths to your advantage.

Normally, opening a GD involves these very important things:

1. Define the topic of the GD if there is a need to define it for others (clarity)
2. Set boundaries/parameters that you may feel will help the GD to be discussed without ambiguity.
3. In case you have a story/ incident/ experience for the topic, then start with that.
4. Creative GD will be started with your interpretation and the supporting thought process for the interpretation.

No matter what role you choose, but you have to make sure you put your own points forward and do your job by adding some valuable points to the discussion.

Tip:- 1. As most of the candidates pounce on the opportunity to open the topic and lot of people speak simultaneously and no one is heard. Better strategy could be to choose roles from 2-6 so that it will be easier to pitch in you points.

2. It is always good to substantiate your point with some facts. Most Business Schools ensure that they pick up those students who have some data on the topic or related discussions wherein the students can compliment their point of view or the stand they might take. This approach gives an impression that candidate has a rational thought process and knows how to built arguments.

Dos and Don’ts

• You must ensure that the group hears you. If the group hears you, so will the evaluator. That does not mean that you shout at the top of your voice and be noticed for the wrong reasons.
• You have to be assertive. If you are not a very assertive person, you will have to simply learn to be assertive for those 15 minutes. Remember, assertiveness does not mean being bull-headed or being arrogant.
• Participate in as many practice GDs as possible before you attend the actual GD. There is nothing like practice to help you overcome the fear of talking in a GD.

• The quality of what you said is more valuable than the quantity.

• Be as natural as possible. Do not try and be someone you are not. Be yourself.
• A group discussion is your chance to be more vocal. The evaluator wants to hear you speak.
• Take time to organize your thoughts. Think of what you are going to say.
• Seek clarification if you have any doubts regarding the subject.
• Don’t start speaking until you have clearly understood and analyzed the subject.
• Work out various strategies to help you make an entry: initiate the discussion or agree with someone else’s point and then move onto express your views.
• Opening the discussion is not the only way of gaining attention and recognition. If you do not give valuable insights during the discussion, all your efforts of initiating the discussion will be in vain.
• Your body language says a lot about you – your gestures and mannerisms are more likely to reflect your attitude than what you say.
• Language skills are important only to the effect as to how you get your points across clearly and fluently.
• Be assertive not dominating; try to maintain a balanced tone in your discussion and analysis.
• Don’t lose your cool if anyone says anything you object to. The key is to stay objective: Don’t take the discussion personally.
• Always be polite: Try to avoid using extreme phrases like: `I strongly object’ or `I disagree’. Instead try phrases like: `I would like to share my views on…’ or `One difference between your point and mine…’ or “I beg to differ with you”
• Brush up on your leadership skills; motivate the other members of the team to speak and listen to their views. Be receptive to others’ opinions and do not be abrasive or aggressive.
• If you have a group of like-minded friends, you can have a mock group discussion where you can learn from each other through giving and receiving feedback.

Tip:- 1. Be yourself. Try not to react and get into a heated argument rather respond and give a very cogent argument

We hope you have already been enjoying the season with lots of exam. At this juncture, we wish to CONGRATULATE those who have already got IIFT calls and we also wish to take you ahead to the second level of the process of getting into your dream B-Schools. Yes, you are thinking right. We are talking of Group discussion and Personal Interview preparation.

Let me give you a glimpse of ‘What does a GD and a PI check you on’? Answer is straight and simple. Written exam has checked you on your aptitude. Now is the time when you should be checked on your attitude: attitude towards life, attitude towards your career and attitude towards the society as a whole.

Attitude makes your overall persona. How you carry yourself? How you present yourself, especially in a formal group? How you know your own self – Your strengths and weaknesses, your goals, your ambitions, your dreams? How much of the world around you, you know? Do you mean everything you have written in your biodata for e.g. these are a few things to begin with, which are part of your persona?

Now we are coming with an exciting series on “How to handle GD-PI”.Today we are going to take one of the most popular question & going to answer it with our experience. So we are coming up with first challenge which students faced when they enter PI room & they are asked to describe themselves. They concoct such a story which lands them in nothing but arrays of questions which they are not expecting. Try to answer this question in such a way that you take examiner where you want to take him.

How to go about the question ‘Tell me something about yourself’

While answering this question you should start with what kind of person you are, what are your special interests or achievements, what you like what you dislike? And you should know what you like – why you like that and similarly what you dislike – why you dislike that, though you won’t say that unless asked for.

Then you should talk about what your ambitions are. And this answer should be supported by ‘What made your ambitions’ Remember there is always a trigger for what your ambitions are at this stage. Any one while in graduation or after should know Why he wants to go for something.

And this should be a good 45 to 60 seconds talk.

Next, you should talk about your strengths and should not talk about weaknesses though you should know them at the same time. Never use words like ‘My strengths are…’ Better say – ‘I am a person who believes in perseverance’ etc etc. Here only you should mention about your academic achievements and also your hobbies.

You should know the difference between Hobby/Interests/Leisure time activities. Don’t say ‘Coin collection’ is your hobby if it wasn’t pursued passionately. If you use to collect coins just as an amateur than say that it was a leisure time activity or something you were deeply interested in.

Understand one thing; choice of right words makes a difference. The meaning of what you say should be crisp to them and they should understand what you want them to understand.

And this should be 30-45 seconds answer.

Last you can talk about the kind of family you belongs to and the value system of your family. This can be 15-30 seconds answer. So all in all you can have an answer ready for 2 minutes to 3 minutes, and that is enough. Usually an interviewer will come up with another question from your first 40-60 seconds answer.

All the best for next phase.

* GD is usually not an elimination procedure. The evaluator evaluates you on skills like communication in group, leadership, assertiveness and most importantly listening. Remember you have one mouth and two years. So the communication should also be on similar pattern. A group discussion is your chance to be more vocal. The evaluator wants to hear you speak. So you do not have to sit quitely and hope that someone would give you a chance to speak up. Stand up for your opinion.

* Regarding the content- TIME told us a strategy which I found very useful for every topic -SPELT. Think about a topic from five different prespectives -Social, Political, Economic, Legal And Technological, u wud be able to generate a number of good points.

* Take time to organize your thoughts. Think of what you are going to say.

* Don’t start speaking until you have clearly understood and analyzed the subject. Seek clarification if you have any doubts regarding the subject.

* Work out various strategies to help you make an entry: initiate the discussion or agree with someone else’s point and then move onto express your views.

* Opening the discussion is not the only way of gaining attention and recognition. It is a high risk, high return strategy. The move can backfire badly if you make any goof up. I personally preferred being second or third speaker.

* Your body language says a lot about you – your gestures and mannerisms are more likely to reflect your attitude than what you say. Gestures like pointing a finger or pen, sitting cross legged, playing with pen, tapping with feet needs to be avoided. Maintaining an eye contact, smiling faces are always welcomed.

* Try to know as many as people before the GD. This helps as familiar faces may not interrupt you as you speak.

* Language skills are important only to the effect as to how you get your points across clearly and fluently.

* Be assertive not dominating; try to maintain a balanced tone in your discussion and analysis. Don’t lose your cool if anyone says anything you object to. The key is to stay objective: Don’t take the discussion personally.

* Always be polite: Try to avoid using extreme phrases like: `I strongly object’ or `I disagree’. Instead try phrases like: `I would like to share my views on;’ or `One difference between your point and mine’ or “I beg to differ with you”

* In case of a ‘Fish market situation’, first and foremost- make sure that you don’t contribute to the mayhem. If the group is too disorderly wait for the right opportunity to make your point. Also a valuable tip – If a GD/Case study is more than 15 mins duration, it would not turn into a fish market. So act accordingly. IIMA case studies do not turn into fish market. There is a lot of time and people are really hesitant to create fish market kind of situation.

* Brush up on your leadership skills; motivate the other members of the team to speak, and listen to their views. Be receptive to others’ opinions and do not be abrasive or aggressive.

* Read a lot for generating content. Go thru newspapers like Hindu, mags like Businessworld etc to get a familiarity with current topics.

* Modulate the various aspects of your voice viz. volume, pitch and tone so as to suit the nature of the point you are making. Make sure you don’t sound rude or arrogant.

Apart from the above points, the panel will also judge candidates for theiralertness and presence of mind, problem-solving abilities, ability to work as a team without alienating certain members, and creativity. An old cliched but valid adage says -’Practice makes a man perfect’….. n GD is one of the places where it is most apt.

It was in mumbai….amchi mumbai. It has a different air, and you can feel a vibrancy in it.

I went to SPJain mumbai at Andheri, popularly known as Bhavan’s campus, where you can see true mumbai crowd. I reached there for 10.00 am slot which I chose from various time slots available. I did all the formalities of submitting documents. Then there was announcement that there will be no GD- thank god no fishy stuff. The coordinator distributed the case studies to us, respective of our opted specialization. Mine was service marketing management and I got a case onFacebook and Myspace, why the former is more successful and how business can leverage its power.Time given 45 mins. In Next 15 mins two questions- Discuss your strength and weaknesses, what success means to you- were to be answered.

Then candidates were called for the panel interview. A lady and a gentleman were waiting for me in a small room, with a round table in it. I felt comfortable as it looks like another across the table session with client (actually this is the way one should take interviews rather than beingconcious about it). They asked me why I wanna do MBA and what I learned during my work years till now, sothat I feel MBA will help me further we talked on this topic for 2o mins. Then next question was on my hobbies, again 10 mins on that. I said cooking and socializing. They asked what I learn m these activities and how they help me. I defended the question pretty well. Lastly, they asked me if I have any question. I used the opportunity to ask them about the Canada option they are offering during the course period. After few rounds of sentences from both the side we ended the interview.

Then came the next call (only to the few successful candidates) to have an PI with institute director. Huge room and a person was seating across the long table. He offered me seat, I graciously accepted it. Again the question was why MBA but in different bottle. Why you wanna do specialization in service marketing. Again I was in the mode of convincing another client. I said what was true to me(everyone has to figure out his/her answer), 15 mins grilling on this. And that’s it.

The logic was to check clarity of your thought, how much conviction you have. I knew I have given them what they were looking for.

The idea is to stay cool and have conviction in your answers showing them what they are looking for. Keep it Simple.

By the time I reached Delhi, the admission call was in my mailbox. In this time of sinking market, I don’t know whether I will join, but the experience is worth sharing with you people.

And don’t you dare miss Vada paw, if you are in mumbai or any near buy place. It’s the best thing ever happened in mumbai. The fuel to mumbaians.Similar Posts:

Time: 8:00 a.m

I reached SCIT at sharp 8:00. I didn’t have my breakfast and they immediately asked me to go to Assembly Hall. I went there and saw near about 70-80 students with no face expressions. On the dais were standing some SCIT students. Everyone(SCIT Students of-course) was in uniform, one of them directed me towards my seat- 6th batch, 2nd seat.

After having my seat, I first analyzed the interiors of the assembly hall and then have a closer look at the dresses of invigilators (SCIT first year students). Boys were shabbily dressed, un-shaved, and wearing casual shoes with formal dress which gave a bad impression of SCIT on me. BTW,

Round 1:At 8:30 they started the first round of Psychometric Test. It contained 40 questions with 10 mins to answer them. Question paper was subjective with questions like

• If some one argues with you. You will?
• If you don’t like someone. You will?

Few questions were repeated after 2-3 questions to check whether your mind gives different response to the same question? There could be other reasons too; I don’t know how to judge the psycho of a person.

Round 2: GD for my batch 6. We were a group of 8 people. The topic we got was

“IPL promotes business not Cricket”

we had 15 min to discuss; everybody gets the chance to speak. Judges also intervened so that those who did not want to give chance to others can be stopped. Overall, no one took any stand and the conclusion of the discussion was that IPL promotes both business and cricket .

Round 3: Another GD session after 5 min. The topic of this new GD with new judges was:

“1+1=11″

Everyone talks about the team work but there were some good points like two legs look like 11, its only the mind which wants to show they are different; remaining ones I don’t remember. But there can be lot many.

Round 4: Then came the HR interview round in which an old man exchanged a hand shake with me and told me to take the seat. Then he asked me about myself, my biggest achievement, my biggest failure, my best experience, my worst experience, my biggest failure in decision making etc. It went for about 15 min.

Round 5: last and the final round of technical interview in which a single person interviewed me and he didn’t ask any technical question. He just asked my qualifications, then he asked me about Sub-prime crisis. After this he asked me to select one of the chits on the desk which contained case studies. He asked me to read it and suggest the possible solution for it. In the mean while he was seeing my certificates.  In brief, my case study was that a competitor of Mc-Donald wants to become big. For that he has one solution of overtaking a doughnut  making company, I am the consultant at Mc-kinsey and I have to suggest whether he (Mc-donalds competitor) should buy the doughnut company or not. I suggested that it depends on his priorities i.e if he only wants to expand then it could be a good option else he should concentrate on his brand building to become a major player in burger. I also gave some more funde of marketing costs, and then he asked why MBA after becoming an entrepreneur? I gave my reasons which are very true and original; after which he said thank you to me

After that I quit and come to lucknow, enjoying myself and waiting for the result in Feb end.
