My interview was good and went on for about 10 15 minutes. As I have about 4.5 years of work ex in IT the questions were more work related. There were few questions from mobile communication as I had Telecommunication background. However I was not asked to explain anything in particular or draw anything on board and present any explanation. 

Does this mean that my chances of getting selected are close to NIL??

GD:

Topic: PSUs are white elephants??

People Present : 11

Time: 2 mins to think and jot down points + 15 mins to discuss + 2 mins to conclude

Brief Snapshot of Discussion: 

The discussion started off on the wrong foot. Rather than using the metaphor to form a concrete comparison, the discussion turned towards the methods or ways to improve PSUs( at least what I thought) I pitched in quite late and was able to speak for a minute or so(nothing concrete  ). Overall, the discussion was quite haphazard and even the panelists looked disinterested.


PI for PGDIM:

M1: Tell me about yourself

me: told

M1: I believe your organization has tie-ups for Executive MBA?

me: told that I need 5 years of work-ex and a particular designation for it.

me: 4.5 approximately.

M1: So you want to do it faster?

me: I would rather say I'm trying to accelerate my career

M1: You mentioned terms like resilience and team management. You already know things You are already a manager. Why an MBA then.

me: I know things means I have been doing my job well. But the my educational background doesn't quite help me understand the business process intricacies.

M1: Your organization recruits heavily from NITIE.

M1: Who are they? What are their designations in your organization?

M2: What subjects do we teach here at NITIE?

me: named 6-7 subjects

M2: How is an MBA from NITIE different from an MBA from other colleges?

me: Told that I was not sure but would take a guess. Told about industrial bias and focus on manufacturing.

M3: Which other calls? 

me: told.
