How can I prepare for GD/PI rounds of IIMs?
Hello Ruchika,
Many colleges prefer to give lot of weightage to GD and PI. Most of them prefer to consuct WAT instead of GDs. GDs and WATs generally are on the simple topics. The idea through them is only to judge the clarity of thoughts and your ability to take decisons. For GDs, the only solution is to practice in small groups.
For PIs, you should be thorough with your profile. Freshers need to focus on the technical knowledge and should be prepared for any question related to their projects and internships. People with work experience need to know about the work they have done in detail. Certain common things that you need to have clarity about are why MBA, which specialization and why, about yourself etc. General knowledge questions, mainly related to current affairs are also asked. Moreover, you need to know the details of the college that you are going to give interview for and few of their alumni. Be confident in whatever you say and be honest in your answers.
Good Luck.
