My cousin appeared for the interview of IIM Lucknow for the 2020-22 batch. He claimed that most of the aspirants were top-notch and had him lower his self-confidence. There were 7 panels in total.
As soon as my cousin entered the room, he was asked for the file. He asked him why he chose IIM Lucknow over ISB. My cousin praised the institute saying it was parred with many great other B Schools. However, the interviewer did not seem satisfied so my cousin added that the IIM tag was inevitable. They enquired him about his current job and his interest. He said he was interested in operations or supply chain management. The interviewer asked him why he was not into consulting.
He further asked him about his dream job, hobbies, and other stuff. They asked me what other calls I have converted and preferred the most. Lastly, they asked him why he chose IIM Lucknow over Rohtak. After listening to his answer he complimented him for his honesty and asked him to leave the room. Luckily he was selected and got into IIM Lucknow.
