Hello

You can follow these tips.



GD and WAT tips:



For the GD and the WAT, one needs to prepare General Awareness. During an interview round too, questions can also be expected from the current affairs. A future manager should be well informed about the issues of the day and should have logical and mature opinions about the sameRead good magazines and newspapers to keep yourself abreast of major issues facing your city, state, country and the world. You can be expected to write about abstract topics too. Practising GD with a group of students and writing practice can help you improve in this area.



Interview tips:



The interview will check your personality, which is the main ability to be a manager. Prepare your academic subjects of graduation, since good understanding of these subjects indicate your strength as a student. This would further sharpens up your ability to work hard on diverse academic areas for the two rigorous years at the IIMs. Pick up at least 2-3 subjects from the core areas of your study to prepare in depthQuestions can be from the basics of your subject or from the application of the same. Questions can also check the co-relation of your subjects to the current awareness of the world. You should also prepare your projects and internships, since they are an indication of the sameSometimes the interview panel wants to discuss your hobbies or interests. This helps them check whether you possess an all-round personality or not. Checking your interests helps them in understanding how passionate you arePreparation for the interview should be started as early as possible. Give at least 2-3 mock interviews to an experienced and senior panel of people who can assess your preparation and provide feedback on the same. After each mock interview, evaluate yourself and see where you can improve. Work accordingly and only when you feel that enough preparation has been done, go for another round of interview. Taking too many or too less number of interviews is equally incorrect.



Best of luck!
