Hrishi
I don't really understand why u r feeling down. U r interview has went decently, according to me. From ur descriptions, I couldnt really guess who handlded the ivs.
Anyway, junta, pls don't feel sad or bad abt saying no. Somone toldme "NO" to 20% of the questions is quite common in IIM iv.s
ATB!
Hey friends,
Plz do mention ur percentile and acad background while posting ur int experiences....all the best!
hi there. was at bangalore at 9.15 on thw 20th. three people - one bored, rheumy sardar, one dark upright moustached fellow, and one huge, pale funny-looking chap. the last guy did all the roll-calling, explaining etc.
My background: MBBS, Percentile 99.27, Xth 91, XIIth 91, College: 64
CASE: Shubha joins a company after her PGP. she has to leave the confort of her home and ome and live alone in the city, hoping to learn adn become self-confident at the same time. the company has a democratic work culture. when her immediate boss ashok goes on leave, he allocates her a new supervisor called suresh. the latter does not give her much work but later complains to ashok that she is incompetent. ashok notices that suresh is using her to do her personal work and shubha seems to be happy doing these petty tasks. she evens refuses to do some work allocated to her by ashok. ashok complaines to the CEO. shubha refuses to do the CEO's bidding as well as she thinks she must only please her immediate supervisor. she is asked to resign, failing which she wil be terminated. what should shubha do?
was a peaceful GD with four people from my Time group, and one girl...(the pretty girl went to some other group :()
PI:
Sardarji (S), Middle guy (M), and Biggie (B)
S: why do you want to do an MBA?

S: why not health mgmt or hospital mgmt.
Me: explained
S: gave up after 2-3 min with 'well the decision is yours'
S; tell me about community medicine, public health, forensic medicine..
S: (pseudo med. Q)..thyroid hormones, stem cell research, colour blindness, carcinoma, edema etc.
Me: answered with aplomb
shifts to M
M: talks about photography, what camera i use, film and film speeds
Me: know and tell all
shifts to B
B gives me an integration and differentiation problem
I do the first but am not sure so i say so, although he can see my answer. tell him that i cant do the second one (have marked as such in the form) - although my math scores from 10th and 12th are 99 and 96 resp. ...dont knwo if thats good or bad...
asks me about the trajectory of a thrown ball but i cant give him the equation of a parabola

they indicate that the IV is over so i thank them and leave
dont know wht to think
TIP: irrespective of work-ex., they are concentrating on acads, acads and acads so be prepped.
ATB
My background: IIT-Kgp 2002 Mech work ex: 2.5 yrs software
My weakness: no clue abt thermo or fluid mech
Case Study was Ok .. started off well.. spoke 3-4 time
I was 7th for interview. three fellow A B and C
As soon as I entered the room somebody called out (I am still not seated)
A: so Mr Kumar how may types of Boiler are there?
Me: I am glad he didn't ask me what is a boiler. Smiles and tell him I have no clue and I am bad at thermo but good at prob stats OR etc.
All three panelist smile and the fellow tell me Mera number bhee aayega!
A: Asks what is an MPFI..
Me: tells him about normal fuel injection and some vague clue about what MPFI should be and instinctively I am close to being correct.
(meanwhile B asks for my file and starts studying it)
A: what is moment of inertia?
Me: (what the heck that was 7 yrs ago.. never toched again) I think for a while and explains him in bits how to get that (This I should/could have done better)
A: Asks about the axis thm?
Me: luckily recalled that told him..
A: what is I*alpha?
Me: (goofed up) don't know!
A: You are an IITian do a dimensional analysis and tell me?
Me: I did and got dimensions of energy.. Told him it is energy!
A: which energy?
Me: Rotational (should have been Torque dimensions are same)
A:Ask about Laminar flow..
me:tells him what is is..
A: Ask a question about flow in a pipe and ask me define parameters ...I am still thinking whether I read these words during my graduation.
ME: Sir you can check my marsheet... only three P's I scored in graduation are in Thermo Fluid and Prime Movers (But I am still I good mech engineer with 7.8 cg!!)
A: tests my patience with 3-4 more question in fluid and thermo
I keep on saying I don't know most of time..
At this point A closes the form I have given him Now he plays on my strength.
A:Ok what are types of probability distribtion
Explains well..
B: gives me a sort of case of smapling study and asks me to define some parameters.
me: Took some time and explained decently..
A: some more cross question
handled well mostly
B: You want to cross a river ask me for depth I'll tell you either mod, median or Mean what do you want.
me: I wouldn't like to bet my life on eithr of values.
Simles..
C:(He speaks) you play chess.. who is current champion
ME: tells him Kasporov/... tells him ELO of Kasporov and V Anand ! ask about more GMs' tells him a couple more.
A: ask me since when is Kasporov ruling..
Me: perhaps since 94.. no clue..
So this is over.. they tell me it is nice to meet you.. me leaving..
B suddenly: what are other calls
I tell him a LACKI
he say best of luck for 'other' calls !!
Thats' it.. no intro ..MBA ...no work Ex question(damn I am there for 2.5 yrs)
So seems like I should do thermo before going for other what say??
My weakness: no clue abt thermo or fluid mech

hi all.
I reached at IIMB at 8.15 today morning. three people - one bored, rheumy sardar, one dark upright moustached fellow, and one huge, pale funny-looking chap. the last guy did all the roll-calling, explaining etc.
My background: electrical engg from IITK working in Infosys for last 21 months, Percentile 99.37(verbal 86.14), Xth 90, XIIth 90, College: 7.5
CASE: Satya is working in a company as a trainee.She gets a call from district magistrate rediculing for not delivering the PC on time for which he had paid the whole amount in advance. He was told that the PC will be delivered in 30 days and nothing is delivered even after 45 days. She had a meeting with her ASM(area sales manager) and marketing executive. They knew that the processeing time for any consignment is 60 days but to achieve their sales target they promised him. They are now planning to deliver empty cartons with a slip saying that only someone from he company is going to open it and install it. When they'll actaully get the consigment they will replace it saying that something is wrong. Sathya disagrees but can't do anything. Soon the ASM is removed from the company for some malpractise and the marketing executive takes his place. Sathya feels like leaving the company and look for job somewhere else. What should sathya do?
It was a peaceful GD with eight people without any girl :sad:
PI: I was the the third last person to be interviewed. Almost all had 20min interview. Mine was a bit less.

Me: Sir my rank will be around 30/80 (don't know actually but it should be around 40/100).
[ gave a lot of explaination why my acads suffered in IITK becasue of extra curriculars. He looked to be convinced.]
S: What is an induction motor?
Me: blah blah blah...
S: what is a capacitor? how is it different from starter.
Me: tried to explain that capacitor is the basic component whereas starter is a circuit made using capacitor, resistor and inductor.
[I am not sure what it is actaully?]
S: why don't we use capacitor in tubelight instead of starter.
Me: sorry I don't know.
S: What are the different types of circuits?
Me: [thinking] something..... give some answer.
S: [he asks somehting which I don't make out anything?]

Me: Sir I did only 2 courses in Electrical. Most of them are in electronics and communications.
S: Ok what is a diode?
Me: blah blah
S: what is a triode?
Me: I misunderstood it as transistor and started explaining. so sardar interrupts me in between. I said I forgot what is a triode.
S: what is a thyristor?
Me: blahblah
S: what is a digital circuit?
Me: blahblah...
S: what is an anolog circuit?
Me: I explained him in terms of transisters and diode.
S: is there any anolog circuit in this room?
Me: no sir.
S: look again.
Me: Sir I think you are talking about Electrical anaolog circuit and I am talking about analog circuits in chips. [Tried to explain him but he doesn't seemed to be pleased.]

shifts to M
M: have you heard about tennessee valley project?
Me: No sir.
M: have you heard about narmada valley project?
Me: Yes sir.
M: still you haven't heard about tennessee valley project?
Me: No sir 
.
they indicate that the IV is over so i thank them and leave
all of a sudden B asks me if I have all the calls, I say NO I have only IK calls. He wishes me luck and I leave.
dont know wht to think
TIP: irrespective of work-ex., they are concentrating on acads, acads and acads so be prepped.
ATB
hi guys
my indore int on 5 march
thx for all this info
guys
plz tell us more about the case study
as in what points u gave and what did the group says(good points)
rohit
hi all.
B: what is the mojor source of power generation in india.
Me: Hydro electric followed by thermal and nuclear
ATB
hi,
More than 80% of electricity in India is generated from thermal sourc. It is a normal misconception that hydro electricity is the major source of energy.

this is a bad criteria to evaluate upon.
especially work ex guys shud not be grilled toooooooo much on the acads.
wat R they up to?

i am an mbbs and got pretty much grilled on my acads; although the Qs. were not common med. doubts, they were pretty easy for me to handle as med. as very intensive, even during practice. remember that these guys knoe their stuff and will grill you and grill you again on your acads....
hi i am a hotel management grad with 11 months of work ex only i as a call
have the inter on 4 of march in delhi 2 pm slot
any one for the same slot
and thanks to all for sharing your ex and all who r having there interviews please post your ex
