Hi!!i had my gd-pi of iim lucknow on 2nd march..the reason for posting soooo late is that,it was a horrible intrvw n i really didnt feel like thinkin bout it again.....
GD: Education is what remains after one forgets what one has learnt in school.
Brief snapshot of discussion:Total number of ppl: 10..but 9 were present..
We wrote a 30 mins essay initially. After 30 mins of essay writing, the moderators finally said "start". For the first few seconds, the group was totally mum!! I spoke well..Came 4-5 times..3-4 ppl actually spoke well.. 3 ppl were told to summarise n add new points..they spoke really less..
PI:
Panel intro: Operations (p1)
Business Environment (p2)
me: (m)
I was 5th in d group..
The guy who was 4th in d group told me to enter..i enterd n the panelists said dont come in unless we say..felt like kicking that 4th person..such a misleading person..became tensed alrdy..
m: may i come in..
p1: yes..take ur seat..
m: thanks.. ..(forgot to wish them coz of d tension..what a start!!)
p2: introduce urself in 2 mins..
m: told bout my educational backgrnd,family,hobbies etc..
p2: what does ur brother do??
m: heard father n said bout father..
p2: u said u have a youngr brother??
m: oh,brother??ohh okk.....blah blah........
p2: tell me bout 2 positves of kolkata..
m: said..(1.festivals,2.growth in IT industry)
p1: favourite subject??
m: high voltage..
p1: what r d losses in d transmission line??
m: said..
p1: someone earlier said these things also..(truth was that i told him d answers..)
m: ohhhhhhhhhh..
p1: what is i^2 *r losses??
m: said..
p1: how to decrease losses??
m: said..
p1: u didnt fill d marks column properly..
m: ohhhh..but thats what i did for every IIM's..
p1: said somethin very very softly..(couldnt hear a single thing..)
Now, i started feeling d stress..
p1: why were u numb in gd??
m: (oh come on!!) i gave so many new directions to d dioscussion..i chipped in a bit late but that doesnt matter as long as u can contribute points..thats what i did..........
p1: what is d difference between potential difference n voltage??
m: said..
p1: again very softly said somethin..couldnt hear..could hear the word electrostatics once..
p1 & p2 looked at each other n said,u may go now..
m: (i didnt settle even......wait a bit,pls..)
m: ohhh okkkk..thank u.......
Now,i really donno what to make out of that experience........what i could make out is that Bye Bye IIM Lucknow.. It lasted for just 10 mins........
