Experience#5
JBIMS 11:00 am slot !!
GD topics :: 1. Is a Sports university necessary for honing the talent in the country ???
2 . NGOs Do they serve peoples interest or are they mere pressure groups ???
We chose the first one and thank god for that coz i found the second one a lil tricky !!….a very fruitful discussion ….7 people in my batch ! The moderators at JB atleast in my batch were very considerate of the people who didnt contribute in the gd !! They stopped the GD twice to let some of them speak !!! Overall— Smooth :)
Experience #6
GD: (10 present out of 12, 2 girls and 8 boys)
Topic 1: Should there be a retirement age for politicians ?
Topic 2: We are losing peace of mind in pursuit of material needs
Majority(including me) were in favour of first topic as it was possible to show off our knowledge of politics, but there was a highly irritating and dominating girl (I shall call her the trouble-maker) who tried with all her might to convince the others that the 2nd topic was better. To my utter amazement, the panel asked for a show of hands again and for some reason, two lalloo guys changed their votes after being subdued by the trouble-maker and so the 2nd topic was chosen.
The GD started off decently enough but became a fish-market after a while. One moderator rang the bell and asked us to proceed one at a time (this kept happening and after a while the moderator just tapped his pen loudly whenever he felt that the proceedings were getting heated up).
I managed to make about 7-8 entries on valid points and a couple of times I tried to divert the issue to a global level but the batch was content to speak on an individual level. The trouble-maker tried to cut me off a few times and I put in a huge effort to stop myself from yelling at her. The panel then asked 3 guys who hadnt spoken to summarize but they stopped after one line and so the summary degenerated into a free-for-all.
Anyways, the lesson I learnt was that it takes just one rotten mango to spoil the GD for the batch. Its very unfortunate if you lose marks due to someone else.
PI:(2 panelists: P1 was a very very old man (75+)and seemed a bit sarcastic, , P2 was middle aged and extremely friendly)
P1 was very engrossed in my profile sheet while P2 just noted that I am an engineer and kept away the sheet
P2: What do you think good leadership is?
me: motivating the team, being a friend to all, setting clear goals blah blah blah
P2 (impressed): you must have watched 3 idiots…what did u learn?
me: blah blah blah
P2:And from Lagaan??
me: motivation can perform miracles, teamwork is paramount blah blah blah
P2: what lessons did u learn from engineering?
me: logical approach, making minute observations, thinking rationally
P2: Your views on FDI in retail
me: blah blah
P1: (looking up from sheet with a cynical smile) U think Akhilesh Yadav being CM is a a positive thing??
P2: Yes sir, he is educated, down to earth, will bring reforms hopefully blah blah blah
P2: If not the corporate world, which 3 indian organizations you would choose?
me: agriculture, railways, aviation (explained scope for each to improve…he was impressed)
Then it evolved into a friendly discussion on the merits of the chinese agricultural system versus ours…and many such burning issues for about 10 minutes
P2: Any other calls??
me: yeah the 6 new iims
P2: what do u think about joining JBIMS ?
me: would be privileged sir, rich legacy of 47 years blah blah blah
P2: We too would be very pleased to have you here
me: :)
overall an excellent PI….went home happy
Experience #7
My topics 4 GD were:
1) Use of drugs in sports is justified
2) India cannot afford 2 host extravagant sports events like Olympics etc.
Unfortunately out of the six participants I was d only girl n d rest 6 were guys n both d topics were related 2 sports…(which I don’t have much knowledge abt)…there was a majority for the 1st topic because 4 people selected it…GD started with 2 mins given 2 think n jot down the points.. everything went well. evry1 participated..seemed like a good GD without much confusions etc.
Now PI was a little tough..Since m a student of BMM., awaiting my results n no job ex..I was grilled on topics that they thought were there in my syllabus but actually weren’t…I was very honest n told about a few topics that I din know..but it was ok…anyway, good GD n average PI…
Experience #8
GD topics:
1. Sting operations – should they be banned?
2. Management v/s Administration
We went for the first topic. Only 7 out of 12 were present. and in this 6 were good speakers. It was getting very difficult to put points across as people were contiously speaking. Also some of tem taught speaking too much will give good marks and kept on speaking. The topic was diverted. I spoke 3 times. Finally each one of us were asked to conclude in one sentence. But I managed.
But worse was coming. In the PI there were two ladies. One was always smiling, other was always very serious and generally rude. No questions on work-ex or acads or GK.
Questions like why you choose civil engineering, way have you resigned from job, why you joined a particular college. The rude lady was making her own comments on the answers. What are the things effecting Indian economy? What is security according to me?
Finally her answer that security comes from within and we Indians are more secure since we have a good culture as our roots.
Didn’t expect such PI and don’t know what score to expect after this.
Experience #9
My Gd Pi was at JBIMS. The whole Mumbai knows that JBIMS is at churchgate but churchgate people doesn’t know where JBIMS is. It took half an hour to reach JBIMS. And as usual I was late.
In Gd topic was “should public holidays to be reduced?” Everyone has their point of view in that. One boy from Delhi was dominating the GD with his stupid arguments. He was not allowing any other to speak. At last proffessors told him to shut and allowed us to speak. And at last there was no conclusion of our Gd and proffessors were not happy.
In pi They ask abt personal experience of college and business which I am doing. on their every question I had a Perfect answer and at last It was very good PI after 3 years of my CET experience.
Do Prepare for following things.
Questions which are there on Introduction letter.
1) Family Back ground
2) What u did after graduation?
3) In last decade which event was significant for india?
4) Ur weakness and Strength?
5) What makes u a good manager?
6) And Remember your FYBCOM and SYBCOM Passing Percentage. They are asking this
Experience #10
My GD/PI was in JB on 14th may 2007.there were 12 students per batch…bt in most batch only 8-9 students were present.My GD topic was
(1)Are consumers really the king of India
(2)CAS-Is it boon or bane.We opted for the 1st topic.
GD was cool and i was happy to give 4-5 entries.PI was the interesting part. The interviews in that panel lasted for just 4 minutes. General discussion like why MBA, significant event and sum time pass stuffs like where 2 u stay etc.
Some more GD topics that were present for other batch
1.Should India continue dialogues with PAK
2.Influence of cinema on youth
All the best friends
Experience #11
I had my GD/PI at JBIMS… the GD topics were:
-Commercialization of Health care – Good or Bad? (Discussed)
-Services like Transportation should be left to market forces to decide?
Mind that most of the topics now are getting repeated.. So better prepare for the ones As even i had already heard this topic before. And was lucky to get the same…
PI was cool enough… and mostly general questions.. Tell about your work ex? U already have so many degrees then why MBA? You already a manager then why MBA? Which management books did u read recently? What is efficiency? (Well efficiency is output/input)
At JB’s the faculties over there really make u feel very comfortable. so there’s no hassle. Go comfortably and just be confident. And there’s no need to get stressed. Truly!
Experience 6

2.Ethical practices in business are passing phase like fashion..
I wanted 2nd topic but majority wanted to go for 1nd one…….So first one was selected…..Topic started with majority of them adding their points….i got the feel of the topic and started adding my points….in between panelist asked 2 people 2 speak and they did so…was a decent GD and in the end panelist asked everyone to give their conclusion…
PI

Experience #15
moi too dun wid gd/pi at jbims on 19th…all in all..it was fabulous..no butterflies in stomach…it was very easy-goin n the ppl there who conducted it ..i mean the prof..or whoever made us feel very comfy…by constantly sain dont get nervous…bla…bla…
this ones for the OMS junta like me…if u gotta catch a train..or ny other prob then negotiate for takin ur gd/pi earlier..they’ll do it widout a second thought…i had my slot of 3″15 to 4…n the thing started at 3:40 around…n it seemed no chance of gettin over by 5 or 5:30 may be…coz here i guess the ones who had gd/pi in earlier batch turned late…so everythin was late…here i feel that the MCET ppl should be lil strict…
nyways…moi gd topic was:
1.smaller the state better the administration.
2.the common entrance test for various MBA colleges are affecting the IIM branding.
now they asked us to select 1 of the 2 by a consensus/polling…we selected second one..
in my batch of 16 …10 ppl turned up…n of them 5 were not speaking..yaar ..sometimes it was a void ..n was difficlt to fill
i spoke around 5 time…gav som stats that in india 20lakh students grad every year..of which 80k r MBA’s…n IIM has aroun 1800 seats…i mean jus showed the disparity….lots was discussed..
all in all…nice gd…
in the end we were given 1 min to the entire group to put concluding statements individually…
Take it frm me…dun try to dominate in the gd. n dont beat abt bush while summarizing coz in my batch 1 of the panelist cut short a gurl who was sayin 2 much n asked the other to speak…
PI was like a coffee wid karan kind of thing…no karan johar here..but was like a chat….it lasted for around 11-12 min…n there were 2 gentleman..g1,g2..
g1:wat was ur gd topic?
moi:said..iim brandin 1…
g2:wats branding??
moi:said it…was a walk in park..coz was prepared..
g1:temme abt urself
moi:kitne baar…got bored of this q’s..had 2 say it…admission ka sawaal hai..
g2:so u work?wats job profile(jp)?wen did u start?
moi plaind them..in fact ..lot of my pi was aroun my job profile..he asked me abt ISO,HR functions,general management stuff(this is my job profile thats why??)
g1:u gotta nice jp so why MBA?
moi: long term benefit…add value…bla bla
that was all…quite mouthful…no union minister..no CM…NO CEO..no acads..in fact they even dint look at the student profile form (yup the form is same as that told by funky iflex)..
phew..keepin my fingers crossed…good luck 2 all those who gonna appear…n also to those who hav appeared…

Experience 14
Guys.. Had my GDPI today at JBIMS… though it was fisrt batch of 8-8:45, it started after 9am.
While taking the attendance the female there was being unnecesarily rude. Two guys who had got in their appointment letter were not given marks of WE as she said that how wud she verify if they were still working…. She asked them to go to DTE in case of any queries or clarifications…
Two batches were combined for GD as there was not much attendance in single batch. We were about 13 people. Three panelist- a middle aged prof and two ladies. The elder lady was more interested in getting the fan slowed down as she was feeling cold..
The panelists read out the topics, asked us to decide among ourselves and gave out certain instructions like if u dont talk its ur prob.If u talk too much, again its ur prob. The time given is 25 minutes and we will not speak any further..
The topics give to us were:
1) Like Japanese we shud try to remain as much ourselves as we can
2) Yesterday seniority signified status, today creativity drives status.
While everyone was trying to voice the topic to be selected, I suggested that we go in for a vote, to which the panelists agreed.
We zeroed down on the first topic. The GD started off well but slowly few of us went off the track discussing the infrastructure and the politics and the education system in India and the brain drain… the discussion was anything but to the point
Me and one more guy tried to get the discussion back to the tracks but in vain… Finally I concluded to which everyone agreed and as we were about to pack up, one guy spoke again and it started off again. Fiinally the prof said that the time was up and we could proceed for the PI…
The PI was taken by two panelists- One old prof(P1) and a lady (P2)
P1: Pronounce ur name
Me: “Bijal”
P1: Who kept it
Me: Replied
P1: What does it mean
Me: Blah.. Blah
P1: (looking at my work ex) So u r working with such reputed company.
Me: (smiled)
P1: Why do u want to desert them
Me: Its not about deserting. My ultimate goal is something else.
P1: Whats ur goal?
Me: Blah.. Blah..
P1: And how do u think any of the B-schools will help u in that?
Me: Blah.. Blah..
All the while, P2 is busy doing something with her cell…
P1 asks P2 to proceed.
(Me being a CA and working in one of the top four CA firms of the world, the further questions were all related to my field)
P2: What is auditor’s report?
Me: Blah.. Blah..
P2: What is CARO?
Me: Blah.. Blah..
P2: When is Internal audit required?
Me: Blah.. Blah..
P2: Give out any three points reported in CARO?
Me: Blah.. Blah.. (I gave four )
P1: What is difference b/w P/L and I/E statement?
Me: Blah.. Blah..
P2: What are auditing standards?
Me: Blah.. Blah..
Both look at each other. Seems satisfied.
P2: Whats ur score
Me: 132. 99.75%ile
Both again looked impressed.
P1: So where do u see urself doing MBA from?
Me: Jamnalal Bajaj
P1: Smiles
P2: Smiles
Both: All the Best for ur career.
The whole PI thing got over in about 7-10 minutes max. And they did not even turn around the page of the profile sheet. Not even bothered to look at the strengths, weaknesses, significant event and all the crap that i had so painfully thought of and written
