The interview experience of a student at SPJIMR for the operations stream with an academic score of 9/9/8 and 32 months of work experience is provided below.

During the WAT, his laptop crashed yet he managed to complete the topic in the last 7 minutes. Group Interview 1 consisted of 2 panelists, a male, and a female, and 4 applicants, including 2 Operations, 1 Finance, and 1 Marketing where he was questioned about his job role, the supply chain system, his competitors in the industry, and his biggest challenge during Covid-19. The female panelist asked about the importance of inventory management and establishing a plant in the city. 

In Group Interview 2, the panelists were 1 male and 1 female, and the applicants included 1 Operation, 1 IM, 1 Finance, and 1 Marketing where he was asked about courage vs. foolishness, what his parents don't like about him, and how he would handle a situation where someone asks for an under-the-table commission. 

Ultimately, he cleared both group interviews and was converted. He says that success in MBA interviews is not just about knowledge, but also about staying calm in unprecedented situations and showcasing your problem-solving skills.
