B.Tech from Indian Institute of Technology, Dhanbad (2021)

Interview questions depend on a lot of factors and it is hard to predict what to expect from the interviewer exactly. One of my friends attended the IIM Indore interview a few years back and here is his experience in brief. 

He is a B.Tech in Mining Engineering from ISM (IIT) Dhanbad and he had done an internship with a trading firm and got a final placement with a trading firm as well. Here are some of the questions that he was asked. 

  • What is your current location?
  • What is your recent educational background?
  • Are your placements over?
  • Have you been placed?
  • What is your job profile?
  • Why did you choose to work as a trader (my job) instead of pursuing something in mining engineering?
  • What is blast ability?
  • What is the most powerful explosive?
  • What is powder factor?
  • What is black damp?

He was also asked an extempore regarding “Whether the physical mode of education will be undertaken by online mode of education.” Apart from all these, there were some very common questions regarding general knowledge, current affairs. Some of the sample questions are given below.

  • What is the carbon footprint?
  • What are some good qualities a manager should possess?
  • What will you get if you join IIM Indore?
  • Where do you see yourself after 5 years or 10 years?
  • What are your strengths and weaknesses?
  • What is a brand?
  • Where do you get your daily news bytes?

Apart from that, you can expect questions from current affairs. So keep an eye for that.

Can I do only a BBA from IIM Indore and then join IIM Ahmedabad for an MBA?

TD
Tezal Dahiya Posted On : August 18th, 2023

IIM Ahmedabad or any other IIM does not consider the type of college the candidate belonged to as eligibility criteria. So rest your worries and apply for MBA in your dream college even if your undergrad BBA college was a less reputed one. Regarding your undergraduate college, the only criteria are the minimum marks for appearing for the CAT exam i.e. 50%. All you need to do is get an excellent CAT score.

To get admission to any IIM, you need to focus on things like CAT score, 10th, 12th, Bachelor grade. The school and colleges from where you acquired your education do not matter at all. What matters is that your academic profile should reflect your excellent scores and involvement in extracurricular activities 

So, appear for CAT, aim a 98.5+ percentile, and get admission to IIM Ahmedabad. What’s stopping you?

Does my class 12 score matter if I want to clear IPM by IIM Indore?

Studied at Sant Gadge Baba Amravati University

Yes, your 12th class scores matter in the selection process for the course of IPM from IIM Indore as the eligibility for the IPM course is to have at least 60% aggregate in the 10th and 12th class for the General and OBC category and at least 55% aggregate for the student falling under the SC/ST category. 

Once this eligibility is fulfilled, there's no need for the 10th or 12th class marks. Then you will have an entrance followed by the GD and PI round.

How can I explain the gap of one year after class 12 in IPM IIM Indore interview?

AN
Arpita Narang Posted On : August 30th, 2021
Indian Institute of Management, Indore (2020)

Be honest and tell them about the gap year. They will not reject you just because of a gap year. It is not an offense to have one. Most of the time the interviewer won’t be concerned about the gap year. 

If asked, answer honestly. Tell them how having a gap year helped you have better results. You can also talk about the hobbies and skills that you picked up during the gap year. 

However, if you choose to give a fabricated answer, your chances of getting selected will significantly reduce. It is not easy to fool the interviewers and giving an honest answer will be the best.

Should I prepare from RS Aggarwal's Quantitative Aptitude book for IPM at IIM Indore/Rohtak?

PT
Pragya Tripathi Posted On : January 18th, 2023
Former Management Consultant at Accenture (company)

Preparing from RS Agarwal will not be of much use. Because the questions in IPM or BMS exams are of a slightly higher level and involve more than just conceptual usage, but also a little bit of trickery. These are usually practical questions rather than theoretical ones.

These types of questions are not found in the books of RS Agarwal or RD Sharma. Rather, they can be found in books designed specifically for IPM or CAT preparation. You do not need to go for RS Aggarwal or RD Sharma, but rather for books that are specifically designed for the IPM or CAT entrance exams.

Does IIM Indore provide food for South Indians in their mess?

AS
Akshay Sirsalewala Posted On : January 4th, 2023
PGPM from Indian Institute of Management Indore (Graduated 2022)

IIM-I does not have a specific south Indian menu. However, the regular mess menu offers a variety of south Indian dishes like 

  • Rasam
  • Dosa
  • Idli
  • Vada 

The best part is that there are boundaries in the quantity you want to take. On specific occasions like Onam, a special South Indian dinner is organized.

A typical breakfast on a Sunday morning is one of the best with sandwiches, Dosa, eggs, and fruits.
