IIM SAP transcript (weirdest experience by far) Pannel: 2 Males in their 30s Length: 5mins Profile: 7/8/6 CAT: 96.3%ile P1: Stand up and move away from your desk and show the room if possible Me: Did as he told P1: Can you share your screen? Me: Surely, (tries) it is saying that I'm not permitted to do so P1: okay, nevermind, we were just checking if you reading from your laptop or not P1: Which programmes are you shortlisted for? Me: I think for the Core MBA at BG and Jammu and DBM at BG (why did I say think 🥲) P1: You think?? Me: Sorry sir, these are my calls P1: Not selected for Healthcare? Me: no sir I did not apply to it P1: why Me: I'm not interested in it as my profile is more marketing oriented P1: Okay, do you read the news? Me: Yes sir, I read newspaper P1: Tell me about any news Me: told about consumption expediture survey and how spending on food has decreased and total spending has increased. This means that people have more disposable income and are spending less of it on food. However, the Indian economy is growing at around 7-8% but expenditure has grown at 3.5% which is even lower than the inflation in the country. This shows that people are actually NOT receiving the benefits of growth at the grassroots level. The survey was also done before the inflation in food grains started rising so it does not potray the current picture of the economy well. P1: which newspaper do you read? Me: The Hindu P1: That's why your views are so negative ☠️☠️ How much does The Hindu cost? Me: around 12rs. P1: Why are you saying around? Me: because The Hindu is not printed in my city and costs 15rs as it arrives from Delhi a day late P1: why don't you read other newspapers like the times of india Me: I used to read times of india, then I switched to indian express and now I'm reading hindu so that I get diverse perspectives P2: Okay leave it, tell me some challenges you faced in your job as a sales manager Me: told P2: what if someone who is 20 years older than you is in your team, how would you manage them Me: It does not matter to me what their age is, I will treat them as any other person P2: but they would have an ego factor as they are more experienced Me: Well my treatment would be the same to every person in my team, doesn't matter if they are 4 years younger than me or 20 years older P2: Are you still working? Me: No I left my job to prepare for MBA entrance examinations P2: Do you have calls from private colleges? Me: Yes sir, from MICA and XLRI P2: Have you converted them? Me: No the results would be around april P2: How was your interview for those calls Me: It was pretty good P2: okay thank you, you can leave now Remarks: They seemed disinterested and were rushing to finish it. They were talking to themselves in between and laughing at things. I felt really weird and awkward throughout the interview. This made me nervous but I handled it pretty well (thanks to my sales experience). This was my first online. In the question about expenditure survey, I tried to present a neutral stance by stating the positive and negative but it backfired. Conclusion: Probably not getting selected
