Colleges in Uttarakhand

I would love to give you tips for MBA GD-PI.
Before attending a GD-PI, you should be aware and updated about current affairs, international events, issues affecting India and the world, etc. so that you can share your opinion and views if asked. You should watch debates on English News channels like Times Now, NDTV 24X7 to have an idea about how to respond effectively during a GD session.
You need to be patient and a good listener in order to respond effectively to a group discussion. The interview panel includes people from college management but you need not panic. You must have given at least four to five exams like CAT, MAT, XAT, SNAP, CMAT, and NMAT etc.
It means you may get 2 to 3 interview calls from colleges.
Now, let's move ahead to the personal interview. Here are some tips:-
1. Introduce only yourself briefly and formal way. Do not mention about family members, unless asked.
2. Give straight and simple answers.
3. Don't be aggressive and overconfident.
4. You have to be dressed formally.
I wish you all the best.

There are 20 functional IIMs right now in the country. Every year each of them releases their criteria for calling students for GD/WAT/PI rounds. Though academic performance at school does make an impact on a student's chances of getting a call from the IIMs, it is to be kept in mind that it's not the only criteria. One can always make up in other areas like CAT percentile, UG percentage or work experience. As far as weight-age is considered, different IIMs weigh the scores differently while calculating their composite scores for the selection process. Since you are still in the first year of your under graduation, try to score as high as you can in the same and later in the CAT.
Since the criteria are subject to change every year, it's difficult to answer what percentage will be required in the year you appear for CAT.
