Did you avail of any benefit of reservation?

Priyanka: General (No Reservation).

Describe the general setting of WAT/ GD (if any)?

Describe the general setting of your interview? 

Priyanka: There were 3-panel members, one was working in Philips, and the rest two were faculty members from IIM V. Interview was online mode, not at all a stressful interview. 

Tip: Be calm and honest. Do not beat around the bush.
