IIMK transcript

IIMK transcript IIMK transcript the funniest interview I had I knew the answers to none of their questions but I left the room so satisfied I go in, they asked me if I was still working I said no I quit to prepare for cat. They said is that necessary? What if you don’t get into a college. I said right before I came in here I just received my acceptance letter from narsee monjee, and although I do hope to get into a top college I do have some fallback options. Further I have always wanted to do my masters before I properly start working so even if everything goes wrong, I will plan to do a masters in another program, I’ve had my eye on a masters in public policy program as well. they ask me is what the candidates prior to me had told me about their interviews and what info I had looked up in the last minute (Light hearted). I said oh I was trying to look up academic facts because it’s been two years since I graduated so that’s the part I would not be the best with. They said are you aware of the things that are happening around in the world? I said yes, I try to keep abreast of current happenings. They asked me what repo and reverse repo operations mean. O tried to answer wrt repo rate and rbi and they said no that is different I am asking u about this. I tried to come up with something, I tried to think, but I didn’t know so I just said I don’t know. They asked me what L1, L2, L3 is in the context of liquidity in economics. I said I know it’s abt different types of money, but I don’t know this. They said if you are applying to us with an economics degree we are going to ask you economics questions right. But they seemed to be smiling while saying this so I also smiled and said I fully understand sir. They asked me why Singapore was thrown out of the country of Malaysia. I said i only know about their independence in the context of World war 2 and they said that’s not what I’m asking, so I said I’m not aware. They asked me to name any one deputy pm of India, I said oh the one who just received a Bharat Ratna, LK Advani. They said is he really a Deputy PM or a pm, I got confused, and wasn’t able to answer clearly and they were laughing at this. At this point the second panellist started. He said you have so many things in your profile you only tell me what you want me to ask. I said I can speak about my work ex and about music. I spoke about why working at my org made me want to pursue an mba, they asked me how ngos are supported by the corporate sector. I said 1) csr, 2) companies also collaborate with ngos for certain projects and gave an example of an ICICI project I know. they asked how much csr is mandatory in India I said somewhere around 2.5% is what I recall. They asked is there a third way for companies to work with ngos? I was unaware. They asked do you know what Sudha murty does? I said I know she supports ngos in the context of Infosys but I don’t know details about how that happens. Then they asked me about what kinds of music I know, I mentioned 5 genres and my levels of experience with them, they said pick three and explain the fundamental difference to me, I did so. They asked what other calls I have, I mentioned. They asked if the interviews have happened, I said only L so far. They asked what questions they asked me, I said 1) how do I rate the country’s economic growth over the past ten years 2) about my UPSC experience. The said that’s why we didn’t ask about it I’m sure you must have prepared something for it and we all laughed about that. They said ok we’re done, you’ve done well, get something to eat. At the end when I was leaving I made a small joke, saying what would you like for me to tell the candidates outside. They seemed to laugh and said say whatever you feel like. ZERO technical answers given if they pick me it will be only be as a personality hire LOL
