IIM Bangalore gd/pi experience..

Better late than never......puys here is my gd/pi experience at IIMB..
Date: 02nd april 2008..9am slot..
Venue: Kenilworth,Kolkata..

This was my best call..So,was a bit tensed bout it..Reached there at around 8:15..
I was having few probs in my college..
So,was a bit mentally disturbed......
Anyway,it was a learning experience for me.......

GD:
It was a case study..
8 ppl were present out of 9..
Got a frnd from my coll in that panel itself...

CASE STUDY:
It was bout a retail shop of America which has a lot of popularity in the market..The customers completely trust the products that the retail shop offers..Recently,the company started sourcing Chinese products as the profit of the company increases coz of the outsourcing..Now,another company Costco,which manufacture toys, has been brought to the court by the American customers because they has imported Chinese toys in which an illegal paint has been used..Now,what shd the retail shop do??If it stops sourcing from China suddenly,then it might effect the relationship with China..

DISCUSSION:
It was a very bad discussion..One guy was constantly speaking n not letting others speak..I tried to chip in once or twice but was cut very soon by him..He dominated the 15 mins..That is why the discussion went pathetic..
Now,the worst part is still there..We were given the papers to write down the 2 questions n the summary..Suddenly,one of the panelists pointed at me n asked me if i want to say anythin..Now,it was so DAMN UNEXPECTED that i kept quite..

PI:
I was 3rd in my panel..
So,wasnt a long wait..

It was a feel good PI..
The way they took the PI,it was obvious that they have decided after the gd only that they wont take me..
Anyway,it lasted for 15 mins..I know that I wont get at IIMB, but I am very happy coz I have learnt a lot from this experience..

IIMB Rocks!!!!!!!!!!

What my frnds have to say bout me.....

Lipsy(My Love):
well.. now that i could get some peace to sit in front of the computer,i will try to surmount the pressure of describing this incredible person...well,he is a scorpio,who is supposed to be revengful,yet he knows to forgive people..he is really helpful..he will go out of his way to help others..of course he is intelligent..he really is..so i cant really understand how hw can stand someone as dumb as me...well,guess i am plain lucky..once someone comes close to him,he will win the persons heart,be it in friendship or in a relatonship.....i know there are many friends of his who know him for much longer than i do...yet i can proudly say that he has reaveled more about himself to me than he has to anyone else..that makes me so happy and feel so lucky..thank you somak...for being there for me.......

Sayan(School Frnd):
So many years have gone by.... but some things haven't changed....like... Bala. we've been frndz since our golden days in SPHS. I can never 4get those days....bunking classes and going to Priya Cinema to watch Kuchh to Hai! going to Olypub n having a gala time!!!! those masti days at Ganesh Basu's Bangla classes!!!! huuuuuuuuuuuuhh!!! Bala is one of the most rocking guys i've ever seen. an extremely good frnd of mine, Bala had misunderstood me a number of time...even thinking dat i'm jealous of him! Bala only if you could completely understand me! Bala was,Bala is and Bala will remain one of the very few people i'd like to keep in touch throughout my life. Bala rocks!!!!!!

Arnab(College Frnd):
i hv some fitting words 4 u:---NEVER FORFEIT THE GAME------EVN IF SOMEBODY ELSE TAKES U OUT F D FRAME------AND PUT UR NAME 2 SHAME------UNCOVER UR FACE------U WILL WIN D RACE------D PACE IS NEVR TOO FAST------U'LL JUST OUTLAST---(COZ IMPOSSIBLE IS NOTHING)............................ADAPTED & REWRITTEN 4M "POINTS OF AUTHORITY"LINKIN PARK

Arindam(School Frnd):
Somak "BALA"......wat should i say??he is one amazing rockin guy of da school.we hve been in same class in 1...but our real frndship started in class 9.the BALA-DEBJIT-TALKO....combination really was awesome.....he has been my best frnd through my ups & down...i was thankful to u for standing beside me whenever i need u.although we hve not been n touch for last 2 yrs hope ur life is gr8....that i can c as well...i wish success will be at ur doorstep at every moment of ur life....and when there is need of frnd remember this name..i'll be there 4 u..

What we want in this obc issue....

1.Reservation or no resrvation for obc's,bring out the results.We are dying for it.
2. The way this reservation is being implemented is not right.The timing is also not right.
3. Also the political interests behind this resrvation thing is cheap.

I think nobody will disagree on these points.Not even the obc candidates.

OBC Quota.....

The result of all the IIM's has been delayed due to the SC verdict that came on 10th april,that is one day before the results were supposed to come.......
Now,the tension is mounting unnecessarily among the IIM aspirants as we have no clue whatsoever as to when the results will finally be out........
Also,there is a dilemma as to whether the number of seats for non-obc students will decrease or not.......
So,confusion is the only thing one can think of,at this moment........
Hope,we come out of this situation pretty soon......

IIM Shillong gd/pi experience...

Hi everybody.........
I typed the whole experience once but lost it.......
But the "pagal guy" that I am, I will type it again...........
I had my gd/pi at IISWBM,Kolkata on 10th april at 2pm....
20 ppl were supposed to be present but only 10 ppl were present......

GD:They divided the whole group into 2 panels.....1-5,6-10.......
But the gd was taken together.......

CASE:It was bout Ashok who is the technical manager of a company....He ordered a forging press which costs around 4 crore..The forging press will increase production of the company n decrease the amount of raw materials needed...In the mean time the comapny went through a lean phase..One fine morning,he saw two notes on his table..One from the supplier of forging press saying that the order is ready n the other from his boss saying that he is not convinced bout the press machine n told Ashok to cancel his order........

What shd he do now??


DISCUSSION:
It was a so-so type discussion.....
A guy n a gal almost started fighting with each other..(Both had lone calls from IIM's....Their desperation was evident)
I feel that I contributed very valuable points..
Chipped in 4-5 times......
My performance: 7/10.....

PI:
I had to wait for almost 2hrs as I was 5th,that is last in my panel.....
Both the panels had 3 panelists......
