Well, Yes It was my first GD/PI round at any B-school...and it was at IMT.....
The day started off at good note but it was only to get worse.It took about 3 and half hours to reach the college at Ghaziabad which comprised of about 1.5 hours of toiling in traffic and 1 hour of movement in detours.Ahhh!! at last we were there albeit in the nick of time..
The first round i.e Group Discussion incepted at 2:30 pm and we were a group of 12 (fortunate enough as 4 students were absent).There was U shaped sitting arrangement and it was quite difficult to prevent my self from seeing at moderators.
We were given two topics to choose from which were:-
1.Retail Investors should be given Capital Protection.
2.Real learning at B-school happens outside the class room.
Obviously the choice of the majority was the second one.Time limit given was 8 minutes but GD continued for around 12-15 minutes with the reiteration of most of the points...There were two instances when the moderators interrupted because all of us wanted our things to be heared and as expected it was becoming a cliched "Fish Market"
As GD got over all of us were asked to summarize the GD one by one and after that we had to write on the same topic on a piece of paper in 5 minutes.
My Interview started in about 1 hour after GD.Panel comprised of 3 interviewers and i would refer to them as p1 p2 and p3.
P2 seemed to be most dangerous one to me as i entered the room and in end he would prove to be the same....Grrrrr....
Me : may i come in sir
panel : come in
P2 : Sit down Please
me: thank you sir (with a good smile on my face but the it seemed as if my heart is in its last race)
P2 : Tell me about yourself,Jatin, very briefly.
me: [started of with my name] blah blah blah...I like to pursue dance as my hobbie and it is..[interrupted]
p2 : wat type of dance do you do???
me : Sir generally, freestyle....[interrupted]
p1 : [here comes a first speed breaker to my heart beat]Until now i had heard freestyle in wrestling only[with question mark on his face].
me:Sir , its just that i dnt do a particular kind of dance as i didnt had any formal training i just try to learn from videos only...[stopped again]
p2 : [ Here comes the sarcasm]Ohh!! i got you you are talkin about the same dace like movin your body parts here and there, right?? and yes it seems you are born with this special talent , as you dance without any training ,we all ordinary people dnt have...Am i right???
me: [Here comes the clarification][ my feet were burning like hell and heart running like hell, Oh God plz save me]No sir its not that. Actually it is wat i try to practise and learn from the my peers and videos but i am lookin forward for a formal training?
P1 :in which dance form??
me: Sir, Jazz.
P2. As far as i know Jazz is a form of music.Wat are u talking about?
ME : [my mind and heart sinking] ....(I told wat is jazz dance)..
P2 : Ohh i am sorry my GK is quite limited i am fortunate that you are sitting in front of me....
{Errrr!! now how should i tell him that how unfortunate i am...OH god oh god help meeeee)
P2 : wat do u mean by "Strength Exercises"??[i mentioned it as my second hobbie]
me : Sir , it basically refers to Weight Training like full body exercises and all.
P2 : you have unique Terminologies...[one eye raised]Any ways that'll be all Jatin.
Then al the three wished me "ALL THE BEST" and i said "Thank You"..
