I had my GD/PI yesterday(12th). No acad based questions were thrown at people with work experience at all. Few freshers were asked. I'm a fresher but I wasnt asked anything on acads. 😛

GD:
Topic: Democracy is more of a mockery in India now.
Number of Ppl present : 9 out of 10
Time: 10-12 mins
Brief Snapshot of Discussion: The discussion was healthy, everybody poured in with points and there was no commotion at all .
The panel would let you know when the last minute starts and you are expected to summarise then.
PI:
Now comes the best part, I was the 3rd person in for the the PI, Prof Mitra(Dean) and three other profs were there. The Dean did all the talking throughout.
Panel Members Intro: Dean (D), Me (M)
Questions:
The moment i sit he D says, Abhishek you have a very famous name even before Abhishek Bachan was born.. I smiled(had no clues what was coming), for moment I thought he would ask me to speak abt my name and then came the TWIST.
Extempore Topic: Ok Abhishek your extempore topic is "Coronation of Lord Ram".. :-? ye kya ho gaya.. 2 second ke liye to laga ki mera sansaar ujad gaya.. :biggrin:.. Even before i could gather my breath back D started the stopwatch. I started speaking, told abt his initial coronation in Ayodhya and then his vanvass and then his return as a king etc etc. I guess i spoke for a minute altough i stoped in between for a second or two.
The PI lasted for abt 12-15 minutes, D was firing question and the other three staring at me.
D : what is coronation in today's world ?
M: Sir, the swearing in ceremony of blah blah..
D: Asked something abt the Ambassadors, what credentials they carry (something like that..dont remember the exact thing)
M : blah blah.. he wasnt convinced at the first go but my second attempt convinced him somehow.
D: tell me someother english words starting with "cre"
M : told 4 of them
D: what do they have in common ?
M : the letters CRE .. The panel starts laughing
D : I mean something with literature ?
M : Dont know Sir..
D: Its OK, we dont expect you to know it..you arent from the linguistic background.
D: Asked abt my role in IBM and what would be the next role if I am promoted.
M: told abt my BA role..
D: You are doing so good at IBM, why do you weant to come here..
M: Gyan,gyan and gyan..
D: Tell me few adjectives that would describe you
M: told some fancy words and squeezed in Red Devil too.. i wanted him to talk abt Man United, i am a big fan of united... :biggrin:
D: Tell me few qualities you have learnt from Sir Alex ?
M: negotiation, managing resource...gave him an example too.
D: Tell me few points which your friends have asked you to work on ?
M: gave some senti statements which made sense..
D: Abhishek, how close have been with your previous attempts at MBA exams ?
M:Told them this is my lone call blah blah..
D: What is India's economy size..
M: told them the GDP value.
D: Who comes after India ?
M : o terri :crazyeye:.. told that I guess Its New Zealand.. I am not very sure
D: ANd how do you calculate PPP
M: Ab iski hi kami reh gayi thi.. I dint know the calculation part.. but told what PPP is..
He looks at the others and asks if they have questions.. they were tired of looking at me.. and said NO
Ok Abhishek, Thanks you may leave.
Dont know what to make out of it.. I am just scared of my extempore performance.. Seniors please advise
I really liked you post...and specially the way you took it up.
I hope you convert the call.:new_bat_angel:
I hope others who got a PI call fro FMS would continue with the stuff.
Cheers
Chirantan
