  • Your debating skills should be good.
  • If someone tries to suppress your point you should be able to express yourself and highlight the important points in the discussions. This will make you stand out.
  • Search various GD topics on the internet.

What should I do if I am in the last month of the CAT exam and still not scoring even 50 marks and want to get IIM Ahmedabad?

M.B.A. from Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad

Never treat your mock marks too seriously. Mock scores fluctuate for many applicants. The key is to not worry in the weeks before the test. Take as many mocks as you can in the remaining time to improve your plan, but don't overdo it. 

During tests, you should focus on answering the easy questions and skipping the hard ones. Analyze your strengths and weaknesses and work on a plan that will help you get the best score possible. Be clear with your strategy as you can not do much in the last weeks other than make a strategy to solve the paper in the correct manner.

Also, don't try to learn too much in the days before the test. Review the basics, look over your previous practice tests, learn from your mistakes, and take a break before the exam. You can get into the best colleges and even IIMA.

I am a B.E. first year student at UIT RGPV, Bhopal, India with branch in ECE. I want to do my MS from the USA. How should I prepare?

SK
Shubham Kumar Posted On : August 28th, 2021
Studied B.E. Mechanical Engineering at UIT RGPV Bhopal (2019)

To get admission to an MS degree from any US university there are 3 different important factors - GPA; GRE and TOEFL scores and SOP supported by LOR’s. 

  1. The first factor has to be maintained at your previous academic place. You must score above the minimum grade to be eligible to sit in the entrance exam. Focus on the coursework and score as high as possible. 
  2. In the junior year of your academic degree, start preparing for the GRE and TOEFL because they are not easy and can create a little bit of a problem. 
  3. The third factor is the SOP supported by the LOR’s. Here SOP means a letter of recommendation and LOR is the professor who taught you the courses. Find a faculty who will help you in your research and write a supervised thesis to be included in the SOP which can prove to be a great benefit for you. 

Try to answer few questions by yourself about the purpose of the degree. Will it really be helpful in the future? Form small steps and slowly go for the final decision. Optimize your plan after you get the answers to these questions and then formulate a plan.

How tough is it to get into IIM Indore as I am preparing for IPM?

LK
Lalit Kumar Posted On : January 2nd, 2023
Former MBA student at Indian Institute of Management Indore (2016–2018)

If you want to decide the toughness on the basis of the availability of seats then yes, it indeed is tough to get into IIM Indore. The seats available for the IPM program are 150. So the competition is pretty tough.

But in reality, the majority of the students just are writing the exam casually. Some students even give up after looking at the test structure, difficulty, and other confidence issues. So the ones who are serious about and have seriously prepared for the exam are competing with a much lesser number of students. 

IIM Indore makes around 800–850 calls for an interview for IPM, which means one of every 6 good candidates gets a call for an interview. Around the top 180 students get a final offer (main list + waiting list).

So probability-wise you have a good chance of making it into IIM Indore provided that you are self-motivated and well-prepared.

PGDIM Supply Chain Management, National Institute of Industrial Engineering (2019)

Some of my friends studied at NITIE Mumbai. They now know all the intricate details on how to face a GD and a PI round. Let me share some things they used to keep in mind. 

Tips for GD:

  • Try to start the discussion. Give it a structure and then conclude it. 
  • Remember that if you give it a structure, it should flow in the same direction. Though it can be a bit tricky.
  • If you are not able to start the discussion, make sure that you give at least three distinct and strong points.
  • When you state your point, try backing it up with facts and numbers. This will make you stand out among others.
  • Stay updated with current affairs and trends.

Tips for PI:

  • Read your CV thoroughly.
  • Questions that you can expect from your CV are related to your work experience and your projects if any. 
  • If you are a fresher, you can expect questions on your final year project, your favorite subject, etc.
  • Since my friend was a mechanical engineer, he was asked questions on thermodynamics and a few on the composition of air.
  • You can expect basic questions such as Why NITIE Mumbai or Why Supply Chain? Go through the basics of supply chain and operations management.

So, these are some of the things you need to be prepared for. Overall be honest, humble, and answer with confidence.

Students usually find it difficult to pass Engineering Mechanics, but it can be cracked easily using a perfect study strategy and consistency. The Dynamics portion is comparatively easier than statistics, which includes the basics like power, energy, Newton’s Law of Motion, and so on. The other topics that require greater understanding include projectile motion, circular motion, and so on. The portion on statistics is a bit tricky, and the topics include concepts of physics and mathematics. You should spend hours on methodological preparation and practice numerical reasoning to understand the concepts
