2. Questions related to Pre-MBA Preparation

Q. When did you start your preparation?
A. June 2005.

Q. How many months and how many hours daily did you devote for preparation to entrance procedures?
A. 4-5 months with 3-4 hours on working days and 6-7 hours on holidays and weekends.

Q. Did you take up some coaching institute or you believed in self-study?
A. Yes, I did took up coaching but the motive was more to get in touch with other MBA aspirants and the mock tests which gets your relative ranking.

Q. Can you tell us which are your favorite books, books that you used for preparing for entrance, books for self-development and books for pure relaxation?
A. Primarily, I used to read a lot of newspapers and magazines which not only improved my English but also helped improve my General Kknowledge.
Other than this, I used to read a lot of management books and autobiography of management leaders like Lee Iacoca.
"The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari" and "You Can Win" (by Shiv Kheda) were also among the books that I read during preparation time.

Q. What was your experience with coaching?
A. I joined IMS Hyderabad. Faculty there was very supportive and pretty helpful. IMS material is also very good. Though I could not attend much of the classes there due to my work but overall it was a good experience.

Q. What are the others books and tests which you used for your MBA preparation?
A. I read the coaching material thoroughly. For Quant, I used Arun Sharma a little. For Vocab, Barrons GRE is the book.
Mock tests by IMS and few mocks from Time, Career Launcher as per time available with me.

Q. What was your strongest and weakest area while preparing for MBA coaching?
A. Being an engineer, Quant and DI were my strong areas, and English was on the weaker side relatively.

Q. Some tips which you used for mastering Quant, RC, etc.
A. For Quant and DI, cramming things like 30 x 30 tables, squares, reciprocals helped along with lots of practice with trying to solve the same problem in as many ways as I could.
For RC, I tried lots of techniques like skimming and scanning. Another technique was to read the first and last paragraphs completely and the first and last line of the other paragraphs. And of course a lot of practice with solving RC pasaages on varied subjects.

Q. How much time did you put for MBA preparation everyday? How did you manage this while working full time?
A. 3-4 hours a day no matter how late I came from work. Generally, it was 10.00 to 2.00 in the night as I used to come late from work.

Q. Which all Exams and B-schools you applied to?
A. CAT, FMS and XAT.

Q. Your present B-school and course.
A. FMS, Delhi University; MBA (Management of Services).

Q. What procedures your school has for admission to its MBA program?
A. 1. Application Form along with a Statement of Purpose
2. Written test
3. Selected candidates are called for GD and PI
There is an extempore as well in the Interview.

Q. What is the range of score for students who are admitted?
A. FMS conducts its own exam and the score of that are not disclosed. The calls for GD/PI are sent out based on the merit rankings obtained by the candidate in the entrance test. Generally 500 out of 700 is considered to be a good score for a GD/PI call.

Q. What was your score?
A. The scores are not disclosed at FMS. Though I had attempted around 170 questions out of 175 with atleast 85% accuracy (that's my assumption based on my past scores in mock tests and the FMS paper level).
