Are you ready!

Let me begin this by congratulating all who have got calls from SCMHRD!

I was in the same shoes last year...trying my best to get as much info as possible so that i be prepared for the last battle before i reach my destination...but trust me its just a start, the rough terrain continues and an MBA really brings a transformation!

And thats precisely the reason it is important for the interviewers to pick the best of the lot who can survive and who can contribute to the academic setup in the best way! So if you are preparing for the interview, it is imp to understand whats going on in an interviewer's mind...the basic things are: leadership and team skills (we work in teams a lot), high learnability ( 18 subjects per sem!), enthusiasm and energy (8 hrs of classes besides assignments), clarity of thought (make the right decisions is taught all thru)...so questions will be around these qualities...

A systematic approach will be ---

1. Self - inrospection (why mba, what future goals, strenghts/weaknesses, hobbies, interests, how can u make a difference)
2. think about ur past - experiences/instances wen u succeeded, failed, led - remember examples
3. if fresher - revise 1-2 fav subjects and summer training; if work -ex - be ready for questions based on them...
4. work on ur confidence, body language and communication skills, spend time speaking.dicussing with friends and try to listen and speak well (this will help in GDs as well)...
5. read newspapers / magazines (though not much of it comes) so that u have data to discuss and make opinions about ongoing issues...

Please note that the list above is not exhaustive but just an indicative of what questions might be asked...
if you have any specific questions, u may mail me at vermaraman@yahoo.com

Wishing you all the best and see you in college...
