Group Discussion
The GD topic given to my group was:

  • Since a politician never believes what he says, he is surprised when he is taken for his word.

The discussion went on for about 12 minutes, but overall the discussion was very general and the points were repetitive.

At the end of the GD, we had to write an essay on the same topic.

 
     
 

Interview
There were two panelists for the interview and their questions focused on both academics and general information about me. Both panelists were very serious throughout the interview.

Some of the questions asked in the interview were:

  • Questions from my engineering course, for example about pumps.
  • Questions on statistics – about sampling, correlation and regression.
  • The specialization I would be interested in pursuing at IIM-L.
  • The role of marketing within an organization, as that was the specialization I said I was interested in.
  • Asked to cite an example of how an ad can affect choices.
  • The meaning of my name and some other mythology-related questions.
