How was your IIFT GD & interview experience?

At first you have to provide your profile mentioning the date, venue, previous examination scores, following up with the work experience that is required for admission.

The following experience is from the 3rd attempt of the Interview. My IIFT score was 99.90%

WAT (Written Ability Test) Topic: Overexposure to Social Media & Negative tendencies.

• Starting with the concept of social media, the overexposure occurs with the increased internet usage and cheap prices for data. 
• I listed some positives prior to delving into the negatives. The negatives include attention-seeking behavior, mental illnesses such as reduced attention spans, online fraud vulnerability, and even honey-traps. 
• Before concluding, I added some ways of coping with these challenges by saying the positives far outweigh the negatives.

And as in the past 2 years, WAT answer scripts have been sealed and we have been told that our response scripts will be centrally evaluated at IIFT, New Delhi.

GD Topic: Iran vs US: India’s Economic Dilemma.

• There were about 18 participants of our group. 
• Initially, before open house, the standardized GD format of IIFT gives each one, 1 minute. 
• The key points of discussion remained: oil imports, electric vehicles and Chabahar Port.
• The conversation remained cordial in spite of the immense group size. Making short entries is not difficult at all.

Interview:

• Three panelists were present - all Males and all IIFT professors. The younger professor went outside when my turn came, and he never came back for the entire length of my interview.
• Most of the questions were about what went wrong last year and how I progressed after that to better myself. 
• One of the professors asked me to pick one topic where he could theoretically test me. I chose software testing. The questions were asked: Before you start researching, what are the things to be considered? , “Difference between BPR and ERP?”

This was followed by a few questions about the MBA category and "What specialisation will I choose if I get selected." Then the interview ended. Thus, this was my full exposure to the interview.
