Collegedunia Team: What was the WAT / GD Topic ?

Naman: There was no WAT/GD, as the process was completely online because of the COVID outbreak.

Collegedunia Team: Describe the general setting of your personal Interview.

Naman: The interview was held online and there were two panellists. The interview lasted around 20 minutes and was very chill. They were listening carefully to what I was speaking and seemed genuinely interested in the conversation. It was the opposite of a stressful interview and it was quite an experience. My suggestion would be, to be honest if you don't know something, instead of saying something that is wrong.

Collegedunia Team: Mention at least 5 questions that were asked in IIM Sirmaur Interview and how you responded to each of them?

Naman: The series of questions that were asked during the Interview are:

Ques 1. Introduce yourself. 

Ans. I was already prepared for this question, and answered with a basic introduction about myself including my education, hobbies, and interests. 

Ques 2. Why do you fight? (In relation to my sports background)

Ans. I took it up as a hobby, which transformed into something more and gave me the motivation to become a better version of myself.

Ques 3. Do you listen to old music?

Ans. (Referring to my interest in music) I answered with a yes, then he asked me if I knew a particular singer, and started singing a song.

Ques 4. The other interviewer asked me about my internship.

Ans. I shared with him my overall experience about my internship and other details as well. 

Ques 5. Why didn't you continue CA?

Ans. I answered them that I felt CA would restrict me to a particular domain while MBA would give me the flexibility to choose a career path later down the line.

Collegedunia Team: Mention any three reasons why you chose this college over other colleges which you converted.

Naman: The first reason is the IIM brand value, that is worth a lot. The second reason is that the shift to the new campus is about to take place anytime now, for which the institute has to grow by leaps and bounds, and the final reason is the new Director, who was the first Director of IIM Trichy, that contributed to my decision.
