How difficult is the GD-PI round at IIM Ahmedabad? What exactly happened and how did you prepare for it refer to the details?
Yes, it is extremely competitive, particularly in the GD at IIM Ahmedabad. You would now have WAT (Written Analysis Test).
You should prepare for GD by reading 3 to 4 topics per day, reading magazines and newspapers, using the internet, and taking notes in a notebook. Draw diagrams and try to construct a thought structure for each topic. This approach should be useful unless and until you are a voracious news reader/consumer. And, yes, keep a physical notebook. Prepare all common questions for PI, such as Why MBA, Tell Me Something About Yourself, and so on. Perform some mock interviews. If you can get your hands on some alumni, conduct mock interviews with them.
For all call-getters, IMS organizes an Achievers' Workshop (with some consent to claim your credentials, if you get selected). Mock interviews are conducted by IIM (including IIMA) alumni during the IMS workshop. Mock interviews are essential; conduct at least three to four over the course of a month to improve your interview skills. Do your own soul-searching and plan your responses before the mocks. Structure implies having a reason for saying what you said.

IPMX Experience:
IPMX is held at IIM Lucknow's Noida campus. The Noida campus is smaller in size than the Lucknow campus. However, it has all of the necessary amenities. IPMX's pedagogy and curriculum are excellent. However, the first few months will be extremely difficult. Each class would feel like it was a barrage of new ideas. Sleep hours would suffer in the early days. Assignments and quizzes become a regular part of one's day. Students become immune to the stress of quizzes/assignments by the third term. There is something new to learn every day.

I have an admit from Great Lakes, Chennai, but my PI results of IMT/IMI/IIMR/IIT's are yet to come. Shall I take up GL or wait for othr results?
The leading B-schools in India include IIM, IXB, XLRI, FMS, JBIMS, IIFT, MDI, IMT, NMIMS, and SIMBM. These are well-reputed institutions that were established 30 years ago. Recently, IIMs should not be under consideration as they lack good infrastructure and effective classes. That might turn a bright student into a dumb one through exposure to negative vibes.
When it comes to the Great Lakes Institute of Management, it is also poor in terms of academics and campus atmosphere. If you are strongly passionate about the field of software, as they are relatively better than others, then opt for Great Lakes.
So, it is better to wait for your upcoming results and choose any one of the aforementioned leading B schools in India.

How was your GD-PI experience at IBS Hyderabad for MBA?
One of my friends had a great GD-PI experience at IBS Hyderabad. He recounted having 8-9 candidates in his GD session. Almost every individual was extraordinarily talented and spoke very boldly and did not shy away from sharing their views on the concerned topics.
After the GD round, the individuals were directed to their respective personal interviews. The interview was nothing extraordinary and he was asked about the most basic things.
He concluded by saying that anyone with the right mindset and skills can get into IBS. You should be confident enough and able to convey your thoughts. He also added that if anyone is opting for IBS, he should only go for the Mumbai or Hyderabad campus as the crowd is extremely moderate in other campuses.

What questions were asked in the NMIMS Mumbai interview? What were the case discussion topics?
Most MBA interviews usually start with your resume, so it becomes utterly important that you’re thorough with your resume and can speak at least 3-4 sentences about every keyword that is mentioned in your resume.
Get acquainted with all the recent happenings worldwide, especially things that align with your profile and interests. NMIMS is known for its case discussions during interviews.
The important thing to remember now is that they are not looking for exact answers because the case lets are usually management cases, and they don’t expect you to know that before actually completing your MBA, they are judging you on the basis of your approach toward the questions.
Ask important questions, tell them your assumptions, and it’s never a bad idea to think out loud. Tell them how you will approach a particular question and why you think it is the right way.
How is the GD-PI experience at IIM Rohtak?
Because these institutes lack the resources to conduct their own selection process, all of the new IIMs use a Common Admission Process (CAP). If you have received calls from older IIMs, new IIMs will accept your scores from those institutes and you will not be required to take the CAP. Furthermore, there is no GD in CAP, only Written Ability Tests and Personal Interviews.
Many students who have taken the CAP exam say that the interviews are just like any other, except that the stakes are higher. The questions typically include an introduction, hobbies, questions about work experience and academics, and general knowledge questions in the case of freshers.
