Interview-related Questions
Q. Date and location of
Interview. Were you given the option to choose? Was the interview date fixed or
rescheduled couple of times?
A. I don't remember the date but it was sometime in Feburary 2006 and
location was FORE Campus, Delhi. No, the dates were fixed and I didn't ask for
any rescheduling.
Q. Can you tell us
about the panel that interviewed you?
A. The panel for interview was the same one who took our GD. There were
three panel members (one of them was an HR faculty, and other a Marketing
faculty, and the third was an Operations faculty).
Q. How long was your
interview?
A. 10-15 minutes.
Q. What was the first
question? The most interesting question? The most difficult question?
A. First question was to tell something about myself. They asked me about
my course, subjects, than there were questions on it, about my summer training
and other general questions.
Q. How did you prepare
for the interview? While facing the panel, were you confident, did you feel
prepared?
A. Yes, I was confident. My coaching center provided me some tips and
practice for it.

given to you? What feedback did you receive from the panel at the end of
session?
A. They didn't give me any feedback.
Q. Did work experience
help in getting the choice of your school and also in dealing with the
curriculum?
A. I don't have any work-experience but I have heard that it helps. Some
institutes like S. P. Jain even have separate points for it.
Q. Getting into and
sailing through a B-school is easier for a Science Graduate than for someone
from Humanities background. Your comments please.
A. That's not at all true. All B-schools want people from diverse
backgrounds so that it provides a nurturing ground for everyone.
Q. Will an MBA degree
add on to your existing career plan or did you decide to switch / start a career
in management?
A. It definitely helps as in some corporate houses you require a certain
minimum qualification to be promoted to that post.
Q. Why did you decide
to do MBA from this school?
A. It has a good placement record and rated among the Top-10 in country
by Outlook magazine.
Q. Were you able to get
the school of your choice or did you compromise and opted for the best option
that was open / available for you?
A. I opted for the best option available in Delhi.
