When preparing for an interview at XIMB, it is important to focus on a few key things to help you perform your best. Firstly, it is important to thoroughly revise your undergraduate subjects as this can make up a significant portion of the interview. Ensure that you have a good grasp of the technical aspects of your course and can discuss it confidently.

In addition, it is important to have a good understanding of general knowledge, including current affairs. You don't need to know everything, but having a basic understanding of what is happening in the world can be useful. Furthermore, having an opinion about current events can be even more important than your knowledge of them.

Some XIMB interviews may also include philosophical questions, so it is helpful to have a philosophical bent of mind and be able to think critically about abstract concepts. This can help you to demonstrate your ability to think deeply and creatively.

During the interview, it is important to present yourself confidently, even if you don't know the answer to a question. Smile and be positive, as this can help you to build a good rapport with the interviewer. Remember that it's not just about what you know, but also how you present yourself and how well you can convince the interviewer of your suitability for the program.

In general, when preparing for any business school interview, it's important to have a good understanding of your domain knowledge and to keep up-to-date with daily news, particularly as it relates to business. Be prepared to discuss your work projects and know yourself well, as this will help you to answer questions confidently and authentically.

How was your MICA interview experience?

Shalini Guha Posted On : March 26th, 2021
MBA from Indian Institute of Management, Tiruchirappalli, Tamil Nadu, India (2020)

After taking exams like CAT, GMAT and MICAT, which is MICA's own entrance exam, you are shortlisted for GE/PI based on your combined CAT/GMAT and MICAT score. Every candidate's interview experience is unique and subjective. The panelists try to ask critical questions, eager to test your stand. But you don't need to stress out, just be rational. 

Here is a genuine interview experience of a friend of mine:

Venue: Indian Social Institute, New Delhi

Slot: Morning Slot

  1. First of all your GEPI Registrations happen at the venue which eventually gets over by 9:15 after which you are assigned panel numbers. Candidates are put into several groups of 7-8 members each, and from there they are taken for the GE.
  2. Thereafter, two-panel members welcome you and provide you with aprons to wear, on which a serial number of candidates is written.
  3. A group exercise is assigned which has to be executed collectively by the group members at the GE. The exercise that my friend got was "to prepare a skit in which you're playing yourself and Candidate 3 is chosen for admission to MICA from this group, you have to justify his selection."
  4. Then, you are given 7-8 minutes to think about and plan your group exercise. My friend and her group decided that they will let candidate 3 have a great interview while other group members will be downplaying their strengths and hence justifying the selection of candidate 3 through their group exercise.
  5. After your group exercise, you are asked to wait for the common waiting area and you will be facing three new panel members for the personal interview round. 
  6. The panel members will greet you and ask you to sit down. They might discuss the group project that you just performed and what was your role in it. 
  7. They might ask you about your academic background and why you chose to appear for MICA over IIMs. Questions about social media marketing, digital marketing can be thrown at you at any time so prepare beforehand.

Lastly, even if the panelists try to grill you, you have to stand your ground and keep your composure. If you have good communication skills and you understand what all marketing is actually about, then your result will be definitely converted.

S
Sagardeep Posted On : January 9th, 2023
Manager at Asian Paints

The questions in an IIM Indore IPM interview are mostly about academics. They are focused on your personal introduction. That is, your hobbies and interests are well taken into account and questions will be asked right on that to check the depth of your 'desired field'.

They inquire about your favorite subjects and pose questions about them. They want to know why you want to take the course, what your future plans are, your strengths and weaknesses, and your knowledge of current events. They also assess your general knowledge and mental alertness. Though the questions are simple, you will be bombarded with them in order to put you under pressure. 

If they believe you are well-versed in your subjects, they will dig deeper and only leave you if you are exhausted. If you succeed in all of this, you will undoubtedly find yourself inside the circular column of IIM Indore. The IPM interview is one-of-a-kind, personifying the course itself. It is both difficult and simple at the same time.

How are the interview questions for IIIT Hyderabad for the UGEE? How should I prepare for them? And what are the chances of clearing the interview? Here’s how my UGEE interview process went.

AC
Anupama Chauhan Posted On : July 28th, 2023
studied at International Institute of Information Technology, Hyderabad

My friend had the opportunity to appear for the Dual Degree Programs interview. She shared her entire experience with me. Once the document verification was done, the candidates were divided into seven groups. 20 minutes before the interview, she was given a sheet with 3 questions one each from Physics, Linguistics, and Mathematics.

  1. (a) Since Newton’s First Law of Motion can be derived from the second law of Motion, what do you think is the relevance of the first law? Did Newton give us three laws when two would have been adequate?

          (b) A similar Mechanics question which I don’t remember.

  1. A Linguistics Question of Medium Difficulty
  2. You are given an equilateral triangle of side length ‘a. Disprove or Prove: Among any five points inside the triangle, there always exists a pair at a distance not greater than a/2.

The candidates were not asked to write the answers but just ponder on the questions for 20 minutes. Soon she was ushered into the interview room where she was welcomed by several warm panelists that asked questions like

  • Why IIIT and Why Research?
  • Tell us about your family and school education.
  • Do you like linguistics?, to which she said that she loved Tamil. He asked further, Do you find the present web applications in Tamil efficient? 
  • Which field in Computer Science do you like the most?
  • Do you have any experience working with Cryptography?
  • Where do you see yourself in ten years?

Out of the 3 questions handed in earlier, she was able to solve the  Lingo question and even managed to write some satisfactory reasons for the Physics questions but failed to solve the Mathematics question. They further asked questions related to Friction, Work, and Energy. They did not ask the linguistic one and moved on to the mathematical question. They asked her to solve it with their help.

She told them about her extracurricular achievements and they seemed to be impressed. One of the professors ended the interview by saying that if she got selected, she should come with her extracurricular file then. The entire interview lasted for 50 minutes and she considers it to be one of the most memorable interviews.

What type of questions are asked in the interview for admission to AFMC Pune?

TD
Tezal Dahiya Posted On : September 22nd, 2023

Firstly you need to be sure of your decision to join AFMC Pune because you can never perform well if you are in a dilemma. You need to portray your genuine self during the interview, that is the key to getting selected. Your interview shouldn’t seem forced. 

  • When you come for the interview, you will go through certificate deposition, wherein a file about you is initiated. You will score extra marks for the certificates you already have.
  • This will be followed by ToELR, a Test of English Language and Reasoning. It’s an 80-mark test consisting of 40 marks for English and 40 for Mathematics and logical abilities.
  • For English, all you need is basic knowledge of the language. For this, you can just take some short online English tests consisting of comprehension synonyms and antonyms.
  • For Mathematics, you need to be the origin of your concepts and also have a strong presence of mind. 
  • The psychological test will evaluate your real self and I don’t think there is any right way to prepare for this.
  • This is followed by a preliminary interview with the Brigadier(Adm). During this round, your file is updated for the final round. 
  • Lastly, the most crucial round is the panel interview. This interview is conducted by a panel of psychologists, the Dean, and several other intelligent and prestigious members of AMC. They will evaluate your basic knowledge about your area, your interests, and your hobbies. 

The key to ace these institutes is to stay confident and genuine!

Founder, School Bag

The interview panel generally consists of three to four interviewers. They are curious to ask about your qualifications, knowledge, awareness, work experience, job profile, and the confidence you hold and observe you deeply. 

They are keen to know about your skills, the knowledge you possess regarding the facts as well as the latest news and updates about your company. They do not ask questions beyond these aspects. For them, every question is a way to know how much depth your understanding is and how well you can communicate in an understandable manner.

How was your interview experience at IIM Nagpur?

Prateek Paliwal Posted On : January 16th, 2023
MBA in Master of Business Administration Degrees, Indian Institute of Foreign Trade, Delhi (Graduated 2018)

My friend recently flunked her interview as she did not prepare for the questions related to her undergraduate degree. They asked her to start with a basic introduction after which they asked her about the subjects of her undergraduate program. Because she had not prepared well for this part, her hesitation took the better of her. They probed her with questions like

Did you study Financial Subjects or about to study?

  • What is the Current ratio?
  • What is Net worth?
  • What is the Income of the Company?
  • What is Return on Sales?
  • Unearned income and where it comes from?
  • What should I ask you?
  • What's the idea if you want to do entrepreneurship?
  • What is a Dividend?

What worsened her situation was the questions asked by the second panel. She asked her some mathematical questions which became the reason for her doom.

The conclusion from the interview is that as a fresher you should definitely go through your graduation subjects as most of the questions will be asked from that only. Remember they will question your ability to answer the questions confidently most importantly.
