Candidate: GEM (Civil Engineer) SNAP: 99.13 (50% weightage of SNAP Score, 50% WATGEPI)

Interview Process date 8th Feb 2020 Lavale Campus
Great campus on the hilltop is a must-see.

The process consisted of WAT followed by Group Exercise (GE) and PI.

Process Summary:

WAT (2 Panelists, Male): 12mins, 5 GK questions, 1 WAT topic (100 Words) “Insolvency in the airline industry: Jet Airways a lesson!”

GE (Same 2 Panelists as above): The same group of 8, 2 different pictures was shown to each of the 8 students and everyone was given 2 mins to think of one of the images and describe their choice for 45 secs. This was followed by a discussion where everyone had to build a story from their images in the next 8 mins and the last 3 minutes to conclude the discussion. (This process can differ each year, so be on toes for any challenging exercise)

PI (2 Panelists both Alums): My PI was long probably because I was the first of my group. First, I was given a paper slip and a topic “You are an owner of a 10 billion $ company which has all the employees as freelancers”. Once I entered the room I had to speak on that topic for some time. Further, the PI lasted for 40-45mins with discussions about everything, why MBA? Work ex? Challenges? Elon Musk? Sustainability? Philosophy of life? Situational questions? Domain (finance) questions? Greta Thunberg? It was a great health discussion. Enjoyable experience. (Document verification happens simultaneously with the interview in opposite order i.e. the last to the interview is first to the  doc verification)

Tips: Prep for the extempore in advance you can easily get stuck there if the topic is unknown. Be well versed with the current affairs and have a clear opinion on the subjects.

All in all a good process with healthy discussions and the student body that conducts these interviews is very efficient.

What to do in Covid-19 Lockdown?

What to do in Covid-19 Lockdown? Amid the coronavirus lockdown, we have found ourselves in an unlikely spot. All the dreams and aspirations that we have kept on hold, all the time we had spent declining phone calls from family and friends under the pretext of being busy, all the time you have spent away from home telling yourself that it is the byproduct of your achievements, has come to an unprecedented hold. The Covid-19 crisis along with its sadness has brought most of us a newfound pain, the pain of having the time and not knowing what to do with it. Confused you toil around your bed, watch Netflix, talk over the phone or keep browsing the net for newfound stats on the number of cases. Within all this aimless buzz there is still a sense of void, the phone or TV that were previously the only source of solace to escape the chatter of office politics or social conversations seems redundant and unsatisfying. Hence, I have tried to list a few things down to help you structure...
