NMIMS GD PI Had NM GD/PI Process on 11th March, afternoon slot. Topic 1: Ipods have killed music industry Topic 2: Sometimes less is more (something in these lines) We chose topic 1. All in all, decent discussion. For first 10-12 minutes, I came in only once and was getting cut by other members. Could come in 2-3 times at the end, when group was running out of point. Expected performance for me, considering I don’t have high pitch and thankfully, vocal guys ran out of points at the end. Three panelists, L (Mid age Male), M (Old Lady) and R (Old Male) PI, started with Good Morning instead of afternoon… panel was really cool, he said don’t worry we follow british system. R: Was telling something about my hometown. Me: I nodded. R: Where do you work? Me: Currently, I do not work. M: Why you left? Me: Answered. M: What you used to do when working? What was your role? Me: Answered M: What is job of Embedded Engineer? Me: Answered M: What were your learning when working? Me: Answered, some cross questioning on that. Did quite well here. R: How would you rate yourself personally? Me: Means. R: You as a person. Me: 8/10 R: Where are 2 marks? Me: Answered R: What are your weaknesses? Me: Answered. M: Except your parents, who are your role models? Me: Answered L: Why? Me: Answered M: Someone influential person born in your area, who was he? Me: Sardar Vallabh bhai Patel M: What he did?

L: He was reading my SOP and he asked me some questions from there. Me: Answered. And, then some philosophical gyaan. (I wrote about reckless risk taking in my SOP) M: What are your interests? Me: Answered R: Questions on one of my interest. Me: Could answer upto certain extent. Did not know one technical detail about it (Not a big deal, as it was somewhat unrelated) M: What other calls you have? Me: Answered. M: How would you rate your NMIMS chances? Me: Pretty high. L: Prioritize your calls. Me: XL definitely scores higher. Others, I have not decided yet. That’s about it. Not sure about duration, but around 10-15 minutes. ATB everyone 10. NMIMS GD PI PROFILE: Acads: X 86.8 % ( Maharashtra board ) XII 81 (—“—–) Undergrad Major – GPA/%age 61.33 Mumbai Univ ( E&TC; ) ( 2006-2010) Work-Ex: 3 months NIL/Sector – IT NMAT Score – 251/360 Any other special thing about you: Have studied Sankhya and Jain philosophy. GD: Topic: Indian Growth story is hostage to political morality. Number of Ppl present 11 ( 1 absent ) Time: 15 mins approx Brief Snapshot of Discussion: Fish market. But manageable in the sense that if one takes pains, it wasn’t impossible to contribute. I could come in 5-6 times by cutting other people and raising my volume. Other Salient Details: Lot of guys were showing their anger blatantly towards people who were cutting them.One guy, even screamed in the middle of GD saying ” Whats going on? Will I ever get a chance to speak?? “.. This was bizarre. PI: Panel Members Intro:3 ( 2 women W1,W2, 1 gentleman G1 ) Questions: G1: Tell us about yourself. me : spoke just 2 lines before they cut me. W2:What makes you say you are interested in religion? me: answerd that i have read so and so books, know so and so schools of thought etc. W1:What is ethics? me : answered –gave the defn of morality What is business ethics? me: ethics in business matters. W2 : u working? me : no. worked for 3 months,then left W2: why ? me: told. M1: wasnt that unethical? The company invested in you to train you. And you left them for your own good. me : gave the answer. I said if I become a good leader, the society automatically will get benefited by my decisions..So, what I did cannot be termed entirely selfish/unethical. ….. W2: What does your father do? me : told. W1 was like . Dont know what she felt so gr8 about. w1 : u joining father’s business after MBA ? me : I have not decided as of now. Want to take one step at a time. Concentrating on getting into a top B school and learning as much as possible. W1 seemed impressed. W1 : why not do MS? Me: not passionate enough……added 4-5 sentences…then conclued by saying “Do not want to make engg my life…” M1: which stream you interested in? Me: told. Can remember only these many questions. Overall, was a nice one for me.After todays GDPI, I believe my NMAT score will ensure that I sail through. MISC : Although most of the panels were pretty cool and asked general questions,there were a couple of panels who asked lot of technical questions. So, do not take NMIMS interviews lightly. It is a wrong perception that NMIMS interviews can never be technical.
