One of my friends has recently been in the interview session at NMIMS Mumbai and can explain it better. Here is what he has to say,

1. The Group Discussion (GD) at NMIMS Mumbai is usually quite similar to the Case Discussion pattern.
2. The only difference between them is that, in Case of Discussions, you will generally be given a scenario or situation where you will need to justify, analyze and evaluate possible solutions and later come up with the most suitable answer, while in Group Discussions, you are usually allotted a topic to discuss.
3. The best possible way to prepare your problem-solving skills is to practice in groups of about 10 to 15 people.

For the Personal Interview Session, you should usually follow these:

1. You must read as much as you can about the course you are about to go for.
2. The current social and economical issues are mostly following up in and across India.
3. The various economic sectors and their effects.
4. The latest schemes and policies adopted by the government and their general effects.
5. If you possibly have planned your specialization, you should undeniably know and read more about it.
6. Prepare certain general questions, such as the introduction, why you are going for an MBA, and why have you considered pursuing a particular specialization among many others.
7. Know about your strengths and weaknesses, your achievements and failures, and how exactly will you project your achievements in NMIMS, Mumbai.

The major hack is to receive important feedback and practice daily to know where you are relatively going wrong. Besides, read new topics every day.

To get into top MBA colleges like XLRI and IIFT, you would, without a doubt have to work really hard. It would be wrong to say that it is impossible. It is possible, one just has to stay focused on what they are doing and study well.

Any recruiter from IIFT or XLRI checks whether you will prove to be a profitable employee to them or not. This is the core strategy behind their entire recruitment process. Plus, even when you manage to get into reputed colleges like these, remember that the panel would give great importance to your academic background. Low grades could prove to be a great setback for them and for you too- in terms of placement. It can block you from grabbing a placement at a good company. That's how tough the overall criteria is!

My personal advice would be to try to leave such an impression of yourself that your personality becomes memorable to them. You have to be solid and confident throughout the interview. In case you are preparing for the exams, just work hard.

If you are one of those who already have cleared the exam and simply want an idea on the interview and preparing for it, you will get it through hard work.v

No, it’s not tough to get admission to Alliance University for an MBA program. One of my close friends is an MBA alumnus at this university and here are some tips for you from his experience.

Minimal marks are sufficient for you to crack through the entrance. You have to appear for the AU MAT entrance exam or CAT examination and score average marks. Based on the eligibility you will be selected.

The recent cutoff trend for the MBA program at Alliance is as follows.

But the problem as of now is not getting admission here. The management of the college has some internal issues and it would be a good choice for you to take admissions elsewhere until they solve the internal issues between them.
