Day:5th Feb 2009
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.
Please Note: Round 1 for every student was same but other rounds were different for different batches
