IIM K Interview Transcript

IIM K Interview Transcript Profile: Corporate Lawyer with 1 year workex. CAT 97.8. WAT: Private v Public Sectors: Can Air India's privatisation model serve as example for other PSU's? PI: 2 Male panelists, both middle-aged P1: So you're a lawyer. Tell me with an example the difference between illegal, illegitimate, illicit and unlawful. [Discussion around this because I said there's not much of a difference in terms of implication but they are used in different contexts] P1: Difference between complicity and connivance. P1: What is an escrow account? P1: In the Mahabharata, there is a legal point that Yuddhistir could have raised to avoid being exiled. What is that legal point or defence? [Again, unconvinced because I said I don't know about the customs or laws of those times but in the present context, he could have simply said that wagering contracts are unenforceable.] Hands over to P2 P2: What other calls do you have? P2: What changes did you notice in your personality when you joined a law firm after college? P2: Give a few examples of latest laws which have been enacted for women empowerment. The panelists were playing good cop/bad cop. I think I handled P2 better than P1. Anyway, this was my best call and I really wanted it to go my way but whatever.
