WAT: estudo de caso sobre liberdade de expressão. deve haver limites ou não.
Ambos meia idade.
Duração: 15 min.
P1: Me conte algo sobre você.
Eu: Nascido e criado em Delhi. Último ano de graduação. Voluntário do NSS & # 8211; envolvimento social. Aprendendo Bharatnatym por sete anos. Falei sobre meus dois estágios & # 8211; Deli Metro e usina de gás.
(Poderia ter dito mais sobre festivais e outras coisas)
P1: Ok. Então, qual turbina é usada nesta usina?
Eu: ciclo combinado. Dois gases e um vapor.
P1: quais são as capacidades?
P1: qual a razão de calor?
Eu: eu não sei. (Nunca ouvi o termo. Eu acho que está relacionado a mecânica)
P1: custo de geração de eletricidade?
Eu: A conta cobra 5 rs por unidade. Então deve ser em torno de 3-4 rs por unidade.
(Poderia ter falado sobre as perdas de transmissão e distribuição e que cada usina tem um custo diferente, dependendo de muitos fatores complexos.)
P1: qual turbina é mais eficiente? Gás ou vapor.
Eu: não sei exatamente, mas no caso da turbina a gás, o processo é mais rápido devido à combustão instantânea. Então, provavelmente, turbina a gás.
P2: Então, por que você escolheu Bharatnatyam Dance e não qualquer outro?
Eu: senhor, inicialmente estava mais perto da minha casa que porquê. Mas então eu realmente gostei e aproveitei muito. É realmente vibrante. Por isso.
P2: Diga-me a diferença entre Liberdade de expressão, fala e opinião.
Eu: Liberdade de expressão é um subconjunto de expressão. Refere-se apenas à expressão verbal. Expressão é um termo mais amplo e pode ser através da variedade de meios, como desenhos animados, dança, pinturas. Opiniões são pensamentos, podem ou não ser expressas.
P2: você não tomou uma posição clara. Se você tem que tomar uma posição clara, deve haver limites à liberdade de expressão ou não?
Eu não. não deve haver limites. Mas as pessoas devem estar cientes de que devem usar seus direitos com responsabilidade.
P2: então, o governador francês. não fez isso? É por isso que Charlie hebdo aconteceu.
Eu: nós, como sociedade, aprendemos com nossos erros. E acho que esta mensagem está clara agora.
P1: Mas o governador francês. não fez nada de novo nessa direção.
Eu: Mas muitas pessoas importantes, incluindo o Papa, criticaram o uso indevido da liberdade de exp para ofender uma comunidade.
P2: Então, você é de Delhi. Você acha que Delhi deve receber um estado completo?
Eu não. não é prático porque Delhi é muito pequena geograficamente e não será financeiramente sustentável se for um estado. Além disso, muitos maquinários do governo central estão em Delhi, como os mps e dignitários estrangeiros que visitam. Por isso, o Centro deve ter o poder de controlá-los.
Há duas razões principais pelas quais as pessoas de Delhi querem a condição de Estado. Uma é a lei e a ordem que é a polícia de Delhi não é responsável perante a Deli CM. e questão da terra & # 8211; estado gov. precisa de permissão do centro no uso da terra. O DDA não está sob o governo do estado.
Eu acho que há maneiras melhores de resolver isso. Em relação à polícia, um departamento da polícia pode ser obrigado a se reportar ao CM. e quanto à terra - mais representação do estado no DDA e já foram dados alguns passos nesse sentido.
P2: Então, é kejriwal louco. Tornando isso um problema.
Eu: não senhor. Existem problemas. Mas o estado pleno não é prático. Uma solução melhor e intermediária com a devolução de mais energia ao estado de Delhi seria melhor.
P1: Mas, existe até um país que é menor que Delhi. Qual?
eu: cidade do Vaticano.
P1: como isso funciona?
Eu: É extremamente dependente de seus vizinhos.
P2: o que você pensa sobre câmeras de CCTV sendo instaladas?
Eu: Eu acho que é um bom passo. Mas é a segunda parte de garantir uma cidade segura. Isso ajudará na captura de criminosos. Mas nem sempre podemos esperar que os crimes aconteçam para pegar um criminoso. Ele precisa ser complementado com mais conscientização e sensibilização de gênero e movimentos semelhantes devem ser enfatizados.
(Também poderia ter falado sobre terroristas e atividades relacionadas)
P1: Então, que tipo de livros você lê?
Eu: continua mudando. Mas recentemente tenho lido livros sociais sobre a vida das pessoas. Por exemplo, o último livro que li foi.
PRINCESA: A VIDA ATRÁS DO VÉU NA ARÁBIA SAUDITA. JEAN SASSON
É sobre uma garota que é da família Al-Saud e fala sobre sua vida como mulher na Arábia Saudita.
E antes disso.
NADA A INVEIR: VIDAS ORDINÁRIAS NA COREIA DO NORTE POR BARBARA DEMICK.
Explora a vida das pessoas comuns da Coreia do Norte sob o ditador durante os anos 80 e a fome subsequente dos anos 90. é uma compilação de entrevistas de refugiados da Coreia do Norte por um jornalista.
P2: o que a Arábia Saudita está fazendo em relação ao petróleo?
Eu: Ele se recusou a reduzir a produção de petróleo e, por causa disso, os preços do petróleo caíram.
P2: qual é o problema na opec?
Eu: a Arábia Saudita é um país rico com petróleo abundante e baixo custo de produção. Por isso, pode se dar ao luxo de vender por um preço baixo por muito tempo. Outros países podem "não".
P2: a OPEP deveria quebrar?
Eu: Não. A força deles está em permanecer juntos porque eles podem monopolizar o mercado.
P2: por que você acha que a Arábia Saudita não está reduzindo a produção?
Eu: falei sobre o gás de xisto. Se os preços do petróleo permanecerem baixos, então a exploração do gás de xisto no mundo e a inviabilidade continuarão a depender do petróleo como recurso energético.
P2: qualquer outro motivo.
Eu: market share.
Se a Arábia Saudita reduzir a produção, perderá a participação no mercado para outros países, como a Rússia.
P2: Como a economia da Rússia depende do petróleo?
Eu: o petróleo forma uma grande porcentagem do PIB e das exportações da Rússia. E devido ao baixo preço, está sofrendo muito.
P2: poderia ser essa a razão pela qual os EUA estão pedindo à Arábia Saudita para não cortar a produção?
Eu sim. especialmente por causa da Ucrânia & # 8211; Conflito na Rússia. Muitas outras sanções também foram impostas à Rússia.
P1: então, desde que você leu sobre a Coréia do Norte, conte-me algo sobre a guerra da Coréia.
Eu: as potências comunistas, principalmente a URSS, apoiavam a Coreia do Norte, enquanto os EUA apoiavam a Coreia do Sul.
Eu: 1970 ... eu acho.
Eu: Não tenho certeza senhor. Desculpa.
P2: quem é o ditador agora?
Eu: KIM JONG UN após a morte de seu pai. 94-2011 foi KIM JONG IL.
P2: então quais são os primeiros sobre o MOM.
Eu: três primeiros
1. Primeira vez na tentativa de solteira.
2. Primeira vez no menor custo.
3. Primeiro país asiático.
E no geral é um passo muito bom.
1. Em primeiro lugar, esta tecnologia aliada pode ser usada em muitos lugares. Comunicação.
2. Então, o PSLV é especialista em ISROs e recebemos muitas tarefas internacionais para o mesmo. Isso é ótimo.
3. Ele inspira jovens a aprender ciência.
Por isso, é uma grande conquista para o país.
P2: qual é a forma completa?
Eu: Marte missão orbital.
P2: pense em alguns primeiros relacionados a isso.
Eu: (pensando em voz alta) as terras orbitam a Marte em órbita. Mas isso seria feito por todos os foguetes. Então, eu não sei.
P1: ok, obrigado. Pegue algo. Pegue todos os três (havia três coisas)
Eu: Obrigado senhor, este está bem (pegou um caramelo e foi)
[separador] IIM Ahmedabad WAT PI Experience [/ separador]
WAT: ONG pedindo aos estrangeiros para não investir na Índia, pois as pessoas não recebem uma boa compensação e levam a problemas, etc.
Duelo da entrevista: dois professores P1 (30 & # 8217; S) e P2 (50 & # 8217; S)
P1: Venha se sentar.
A: Obrigado senhor.
P1: Então você é do BITS, onde você está fazendo o seu PS2?
A: Zinnov Mgmt Consulting.
P1: Mas você é da eletrônica?
R: Sim senhor, mas eu desenvolvi interesse em mgmt e dei a resposta de como eu desenvolvi os festivais de juros e tudo e mencionei que esta é a empresa relacionada ao mgmt que eu poderia obter no meu CG de 7.7, então peguei.
P2: Então nos diga o que os outros dizem sobre nós.
R: Falou apenas para a garota que acabou de sair de casa & # 8230; Nada muito que ela acabou de dizer que "são boas pessoas" (ambos começaram a rir)
P2: Ela estava mesmo em estado de falar? o que significa bem?
A: Senhor, é muito relativo .. o que pode ser bom para ela pode não ser o caso para mim (ambos começaram a sorrir)
P2: O que de acordo com você seria sua definição de bem?
A: Pode ser que você não coloque muito estresse nela.
P2: MAS O MBA ESTÁ SOBRE O ESFORÇO DE MANUSEIO?
R: Sim, senhor, acabei de lhe dizer o que poderia ser sua definição de bem ... talvez ela estivesse muito excitada sentada de manhã em um dos inerviews mais importantes.
P2: Então você quer chá, café?
A: Não senhor, obrigado.
A: A água seria boa (P1 pega o copo dele e P2 derrama água nele para mim. Bebeu água)
A: Senhor, posso manter a caneta na mesa?
P2: Yaa claro, qual é o problema se você segurar na mão?
R: Nada muito, mas se eu ficar nervoso durante a entrevista, eu posso começar a pressionar e isso criaria um tique-taque de ruídos (a caneta era a que nós pressionamos). Ambos P1 e P2 começam a rir muito alto.
P2: Eu tenho entrevistas há tantos anos, esta é a primeira vez que estou ouvindo isso.
A: Bom para começar.
P1: O que eles ensinaram em eletrônica?
A: Sistemas de controle, anaog electronics. etc etc.
P1: Diga-me um sistema de controle nesta sala?
A: (olhou em volta) AC.
P1: Explique o seu funcionamento.
P2: Você disse ao sensor de temperatura que o sensor de temperatura é usado? é termômetro?
A: Não estou ciente disso, mas obviamente não termômetro.
P1: Diga-me o que é um sistema de primeira ordem?
P1: Desenhar gráfico para sua resposta?
A: desenhou e explicou.
P1: o que o declive depende?
a: DISCO A EQUAÇÃO E ASSIM DECLARA NO TEMPO CONSTANTE.
P1: qual é a constante de tempo?
p1: qual é o significado físico da ordem de um sistema?
a: o tipo de energia armazenada nos elementos como no cap é um indutor do tipo second.
p1: mas você pergunta a nós qual elemento de armazenamento de energia estava sendo usado antes de desenhar o gráfico.
R: esses gráficos são genéricos e iguais para um sistema com uma ordem específica, portanto, não faz diferença alguma, seja qual for o elemento de armazenamento de energia usado.
p1: então o que é o amortecimento?
P1: dar exemplo de sistema sobrecarregado?
A: deu exemplo de uma porta com dobradiças apertadas.
p1: então desenhar gráfico de resposta para um sistema de 2ª ordem?
A: desenhou e explicou.
p1: qual a vantagem de um sistema de segunda ordem sobre o primeiro pedido? A: dito (agora P2 assume)
P2: Então você está fazendo estágio no zinnov?
A: Sim senhor, apenas 10 dias.
P2: Ok, então o que você faz aí?
A: Pesquisa secundária para encontrar os gastos com P & D das empresas e capturá-las, pois isso seria útil em uma lista do G500 que a zinnov publica.
A: pesquisa e desenvolvimento.
P2: Qual é o uso?
A: ele nos ajuda a conhecer a sustentabilidade da empresa .. blackberry investiu em r & amp; d significativamente no final dos anos 90 e colheu os frutos até 2008 como líder no segmento de mercado de telefones corporativos, a Apple começou a investir em r & amp; d significativamente em 200-2004 quando blackberry dint para que possamos ver o efeito que derrubou blackberry como líder no segmento de telefones corporativos.
p2: Então, isso significa que as vendas de uma empresa irão aumentar se ela investir em r & amp; d?
A: depende se é radical r & amp; D ou incremental r & amp; d e disse algo.
p2: diga-me incraese ou não? (começou a balançar a cabeça, decepcionado)
A: Não pode ser dito conclusivamente.
p2: então você não pode relacionar as vendas com o r & amp; d imediatamente?
R: Isso é tudo o que eu sabia .. Eu não sei exatamente (p2 a p1 .. veja que ele nem está ciente do que ele está trabalhando)
p2: por que você publica essa lista? você ganha dinheiro?
R: Não, senhor, é mais um estrago de marketing, já que nenhum adversário faz isso e nós somos apenas um realizando tal estudo.
p2: explicar em resumo o que você escreveu em awt?
R: O passo da ONG é bastante extremo, como se os investidores não investissem, prejudicaria nossa infra-estrutura e indústrias, não haveria novos empregos e isso levaria a desemprego adicional e prejudicaria a causa das pessoas pelas quais a ONG alega estar falando.
p2: Tem certeza?
A: Sim senhor 100% (maior erro) (a partir deste momento p2 começa a olhar aqui e ali depois de me fazer perguntas, girando a cadeira constantemente balançando a cabeça e principalmente não olhando para mim, mas olhando para fora da janela, isso continua até o fim da entrevista)
P2: HOW VOCÊ PODE SER 100% CERTO?
a: senhor eu posso te dar um exemplo do que aconteceu em orissa.
p2: não quero seus exemplos .. nenhum exemplo pode fazer você ter 100% de certeza.
a: desculpe senhor, eu pensei que eu possa ilustrar o meu ponto claramente com o meu exemplo assim disse.
p2: então isso é um fato ou uma suposição?
a: desculpe senhor dint obter sua pergunta?
p2: você nem sabe a pergunta ... (dá a folha de perguntas do awt de volta para mim) dê uma olhada.
a: senhor eu sei exatamente a pergunta, apenas confuso com o seu texto como na assunção no meu argumento de um dado (ele não estava interessado e sua cabeça estava na mesa) (p2 pediu mais 2 perguntas de acompanhamento que eu respondi enquanto ele estava girando a cadeira ou mantendo a cabeça na mesa) (p1 assume)
P1: DIGA DAS DESVANTAGENS DO IDE NO VAREJO?
a: 1. Alto nível de concorrência das multinacionais pode ter efeitos adversos sobre os nossos lojistas locais 2. grande número de intermediários vai ficar desempregado, precisa encontrar algo para eles também.
p1: dirá uma declaração .. diga concorda ou discorda?
p1: fdi no varejo não afetará lojistas locais tomar exemplo grande bazar?
p1: depois que o grande bazar foi aberto, você parou de comprar em lojas locais de kirana?
a: não senhor, mas antes do grande bazar se eu costumava comprar 10 itens da loja local agora eu provavelmente compro 4 do grande bazar e 6 da loja local e isso certamente leva a uma perda de receita para eles.
p1: porcentagem de fdi em retil? a: eu sei sobre defesa, seguro não sei porcentagem exata no varejo.
p1: o que é mnrega?
a: mahatma gandhi ato de garantia de emprego rural (a cabeça de p2 estava caída na mesa o tempo todo e de repente pula)
p2: eu embora lá em um & n # 8216; N & # 8217; no nome?
A: desculpe senhor perdeu Natioanl (agora começa a olhar fora da janela)
P1: Então o mnrega leva ao desenvolvimento?
A: depende senhor .. se for usado para desenvolvimento de infra-estrutura como em tamil nadu para construir pontes leva ao desenvolvimento mas como no caso de jharkhand se for usado apenas para cavar poços após poços apenas para manter as pessoas ocupadas não é desenvolvimento .
p1: então se mnrega leva ao desenvolvimento ... por que precisamos de indústrias? então a ONG estava certa?
R: Como eu disse, a alegação de desenvolvimento é discutível e não podemos fornecer a todos o emprego sob o MNREGA, por isso precisamos de industris.
Finalmente P2 sobe.
P2: Me fale sobre seus hobbies?
A: Senhor, eu gosto de resolver sudoku puzles, assistir a partidas de críquete e discutir sobre política nacional com meus amigos.
P2: Ok & # 8230; obrigado .. estamos a fazer .. tomar um caramelo.
A: (pegou um) .. obrigado senhor (e estava saindo)
P2: X você esqueceu sua caneta na mesa? e começou a rir.
A: Desculpe senhor, peguei e saí.

WAT: O governo decidiu alocar Rs.400 crores para o desenvolvimento de eventos esportivos e atividades. O autor argumenta que é um completo desperdício de dinheiro, já que o mesmo dinheiro poderia ter sido gasto em saúde e educação (especialmente em um país subdesenvolvido como o nosso). 6 perguntas de acompanhamento.
1º no meu painel.
Dois professores (P1 e P2)
P2: meio 30 & # 8217; s (alunos, provavelmente)
Ambos pareciam animados e alegres.
P2 abriu a porta e me pediu para entrar.
Eu: cumprimentou os dois Good Morning e P1 me pediu para sentar.
P1: Então seu apelido é dodo? (Eu ainda me pergunto como eles descobriram)
MIM; Disse como eu tenho esse apelido e adicionei algumas coisas sobre o pássaro extinto (P1 parecia satisfeito)
P2: Então você é do IIest (anteriormente B. E. College ou BESU). Então, qual é o cenário atual em sua faculdade (academicamente)?
ME: Explicado com alguns exemplos adequados para justificar meus pontos.
P2: Então compare entre JU e BESU.
P1: Então o seu fluxo é Ciência da Computação e Tecnologia. Então, qual é a diferença entre Tecnologia e Engenharia?
Eu: Disse (parecia parcialmente convencido)
P1: O que é ciência da computação (em 1 linha)
ME: Disse (foi uma resposta adequada)
P1: Quem inventou o computador e qual era sua nacionalidade?
ME: disse o nome. Não tinha ideia sobre sua nacionalidade. Disse isso e, em seguida, deu uma palpite (estava errado)
P1: Então calculadora é um computador? porque porque não?
ME: Disse (P1 foi convencido até certo ponto)
Agora o desastre começa.
P2: O que acontece quando eu insiro meu pen drive na porta USB?
P2: Não me diga passo a passo. Como os arquivos são transferidos, como armazenados e assim por diante.
EU: Tentei o meu melhor para explicar.
P2: Suponha que eu quebre meu pen drive. o que vou encontrar dentro dela?
ME: unidades de memória e módulos de drive.
P2: Nada mais?
Eu: Senhor, haverá outros módulos também. No entanto, eu não estou ciente disso.
P2: o que acontece quando eu apago um arquivo do meu laptop. Suponha que im PK (agora explique)
ME: levou dois casos. excluir e ir para a lixeira. e excluir da própria lixeira. Explicou .. Tentei pelo menos.
A discussão prosseguiu por quase os 5 minutos seguintes (houve perguntas como: como a Cbi recolhe informações de um computador se todos os arquivos foram deletados e ordenados. Não sabia)
P1: Você conhece o projecT PARAM?
P1: É uma iniciativa baseada em super computador, adotada pelo governo. Então me fale sobre supercomputadores? O que são eles?
eu: Disse. De alguma forma, disse a definição exata.
Algumas perguntas transversais.
P1: Uve alguns prêmios em matemática. como assunto dat?
P1: encontre a solução expandida para (x-a) (x-b) & # 8230; (x-z)
Eu: Disse-lhes o algoritmo de expansão polinomial normal.
P1: está tudo bem. Mas use alguma heurística e responda em 15 segundos.
Eu: Eu não pude .. (pior erro. Ans seria zero)
P1: Ok. Volte para casa e continue pensando.
P2: qual é o teorema das quatro cores?
EU: não faço ideia senhor (porque deus porque .. matemática tem outras coisas também)
P2: Então, por que você não seguiu a matemática?
Me: contou e também acrescentou como cst envolve matemática também especialmente controle de computador se processos industriais.
ME: falou sobre o laplace transform. Matriz de transição de estados. função de transferência.
P2: o que é uma transformação de laplace?
ME: disse uma definição leiga parcialmente correta.
P2: Só isso mesmo.
Eu: Também falei sobre a transformação Z. Como s-domain pode ser transformado em domínio z.
P2: Então você sabe sobre a disputa que aconteceu durante 2000 na indústria de TI?
Eu: não senhor (deus, eu tinha apenas 7 anos)
P1: (rindo) ele era jovem demais para saber. (Bom. Pelo menos alguém entendeu)
P2: explicou sobre a disputa.
P2: conte sobre alguns desenvolvimentos recentes no setor de TI.
ME: Google glass.
P2: em que estágio de desenvolvimento está.
Me: disse que a produção acaba de começar e ainda está em fase experimental e mercado de consumo desconhecido.
P2: então você sabe sobre o seu funcionamento.
ME: (frustrado até lá) Não, senhor, não estou totalmente ciente disso.
P1 e P2: Obrigado - tudo de bom. Tem alguns chocolates.
Eu: tentei escolher um caramelo. Pegou dois e retornou 1.
P2: você pode ter os dois também.
Eu: não senhor. Eu pretendia tirar apenas 1. Obrigado.

Tópico do WAT: O envolvimento de partidos políticos com os corpos estudantis causa inquietação e violência nas instituições. Portanto, os corpos estudantis não devem se envolver com partidos políticos.
Quão forte é o argumento? Dê argumentos para fortalecer ou enfraquecer o argumento dado com evidências.
(Eu acho que eu estraguei tudo muito bem. Eu irei para isso mais tarde)
O painel de entrevistas consistiu em dois professores de aparência jovem.
Entrei, cumprimentei-os. Eles me pediram para se sentar.
P1 e # 8211; (passando pela minha aplicação) Oh! Outro médico. Por que mudança súbita de paradigma?
Eu & # 8211; Deu a resposta. Foi cruz questionada. Eu tentei responder, mas tive a sensação de que eles não estavam totalmente satisfeitos.
Então outro professor que estava ocioso até agora assumiu.
P2- Você acompanha notícias regularmente?
P2 e # 8211; notícias internacionais.
Eu & # 8211; Eu não leio jornais regularmente, mas estou razoavelmente ciente do que está acontecendo.
P2 e # 8211; Bem. O que você sabe sobre & # 8216; hxzfthzgzggzg & # 8217; (Eu não tinha ideia do que ele pediu)
P2 e # 8211; Bem. Diga-me o que você sabe. Algum incidente internacional recente.
Eu & # 8211; Eu sei sobre o recente ataque ao Charlie Hebdo.
P2 e # 8211; Diga-me mais sobre isso.
Eu & # 8211; disse-lhes o que sei. Por que o ataque e outras coisas.
P2 e # 8211; o que você acha que foi um movimento certo por grupo radical?
Eu & # 8211; definitivamente não senhor. Nunca deveria recorrer à violência.
P2 e # 8211; então o que eles deveriam ter feito? Afinal, o charlie Hebdo prejudicou seus sentimentos religiosos.
Eu & # 8211; (pausado por um momento) Hum, senhor, eles poderiam ter tentado resolvê-lo pacificamente. Talvez uma carta aberta de algo do tipo para transmitir sua parte da história.
P2 e # 8211; você acha que o Charlie Hebdo teria parado? Dada a sua história.
Eu & # 8211; (presa) Não, senhor. Eu não acho que eles teriam.
P2 e # 8211; (Unha final) Então, seus problemas não teriam sido resolvidos pacificamente, mas não é certo matar para o mesmo. Então o que eles deveriam fazer?
Eu & # 8211; Senhor, o que estou tentando dizer é que não sou tão informado ou experiente o suficiente para dar solução a essa questão, mas tenho certeza de que há alguma maneira de resolver isso. Nunca deveria recorrer à violência.
P1 e # 8211; vamos falar sobre o ensaio que você escreveu.
(Basicamente eu argumentei que dado argumento é falacioso. Ele assumiu que o partido político é inerentemente violento, eles promovem violência aos corpos estudantis, corpos estudantis os seguem sem pensar. Tantas suposições. Portanto, é falacioso. Deu raciocínio para cada suposição e como poderia estar errado. E concluiu dizendo que apenas uma faceta desta situação é dada. Vantagens desta união, se houver, não são mencionados. Então, a partir de argumentos dado, não se pode concluir que os partidos políticos não devem estar envolvidos com os sindicatos estudantis )
P1 e # 8211; (cont. d) Então, você acha que os partidos políticos não promovem a violência?
Eu & # 8211; Senhor, eu acho que não é sábio generalizar com base em poucos exemplos.
P1 e # 8211; Certo, quantos exemplos você precisa generalizar?
Eu & # 8211; (preso novamente. Tomou uma longa pausa) sorriu e disse, senhor, é subjetivo.
P1 e # 8211; Eu sei que é por isso que eu estou perguntando a você. Quantos exemplos você precisa?
Eu & # 8211; Um senhor. (pausado por mais alguns.)
P1 e # 8211; Bem. Quantos exemplos você conhece?
Eu & # 8211; Eu sei sobre esse incidente nesta universidade.
P1 e # 8211; Além disso?
P1 e # 8211; Bem. Você conhece algum exemplo em que os partidos políticos estão lutando entre si?
Eu & # 8211; Eu penso em maharashtra.
Eu & # 8211; BJP e Shiva Sena. Alguma questão relacionada à eleição. (Eu sei! & # 8216; algum problema & # 8217; & # 8216; eleição & # 8217; Eu tinha que dizer alguma coisa. Eu tenho dito que eu não conheço senhor por muito tempo.)
P1 e # 8211; (visivelmente desapontado) você não acha que as partes lutam?
Eu & # 8211; idealmente, deveria ser um choque saudável. Não tumultos e matança para promover suas festas. (Eu sei que é a Índia, mas eu tive que me ater aos argumentos que fiz)
P1 e # 8211; (desisti eu não pude ver que estava desapontado ou o quê!) Tudo bem. Então, você acha que os partidos políticos deveriam estar envolvidos?
Eu & # 8211; Eu não estou dizendo que eles deveriam, mas a partir da suposição dada, não se pode concluir que eles não deveriam estar envolvidos.
P2 e # 8211; o que você faz no seu tempo livre?
Eu & # 8211; Eu assisto sabonetes e leio livros.
P1 e # 8211; que tipo de shows?
Eu & # 8211; drama médico. Thriller.
P1 e # 8211; diga-me alguns nomes de drama médico.
Eu & # 8211; casa md. Esfrega. Anatomia de cinzas.
P1 e # 8211; o que é a casa md.
P1 e # 8211; porque você gosta disto?
Eu & # 8211; Além das razões usuais, eu gosto porque retrata a história do herói caído. Eu gosto de histórias que caíram heróis.
Eu & # 8211; (instintivamente disse que eu não sei senhor), mas depois tentei explicar.
P1 e # 8211; que outros shows caíram heróis que você assiste?
Eu & # 8211; Doutor quem. E explicou o que é isso.
P1 e # 8211; você pode me dizer o nome do ator que interpretou o médico?
Eu & # 8211; contou. Do 9º médico ao presente.
P1 e # 8211; Eu costumava assistir doutor que também. Eu não acho que é sobre heróis caídos.
Eu & # 8211; explicou como novo médico que reiniciar é diferente do médico clássico que e como eu não assisti ainda.
P1 e # 8211; Você conhece alguma pessoa da Índia que possa ser classificada como um herói caído?
Eu - (amaldiçoei-me por dizer a palavra heróis caídos) fiz uma pausa e disse que não sei. (como eu disse, meu conhecimento geral é ruim para ser franco)
P2 e # 8211; o que mais você faz no seu tempo livre?
Eu & # 8211; Eu jogo TT e leio livros. Mas imediatamente eu adicionei que eu jogo apenas por diversão. Haven não participou de nenhuma competição e eu não tenho nenhum certificado. (modo cauteloso. Me senti como um idiota depois de dizer isso)
P1 e # 8211; claro. Nós não estamos pedindo por isso.
Como você escolhe seus livros?
Eu & # 8211; explicou sobre história diferente e nova. Evite os previsíveis. Bem escrito.
P1 e # 8211; which book have you read recently is well written according to you?
Me – Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas.
P1 glanced at other professor and said, count of monte cristo, sir. I think he approved. At least one thing he approved.
P1 – obrigado. You may leave now. Please take a toffee.

WAT – a case study on closing all the teacher development programmes and instead, spending the amount saved in building infrastructure like toilets in school.
Wrote a decent AWT, not great though. It was the first time I encountered a case study. Could have been much much better.
Panel No. 2 ( 1 young alumnus around 35 years of age (Call him L), another one was a senior prof (around 55-60 years of age, call him O).
Time : 18 minutes.
My panelist was adamant in having short interviews for everybody. They announced it even before the start of WAT that only 20 minutes would be given for each candidate.
I was the 3rd one in my group.
L came out, called my name and asked me to come in. I was clearly overwhelmed by the enormity of the event, I could literally hear my heart pounding (generally, I stay very calm). But, I ensured that I enter the room calmly. Wished good morning to L.
Stood next to the seat, wished good morning to O. He asked me to sit down.
O : You are changing your looks quite frequently ?
Me : Sorry, I didn’t get you sir.
O : You used to have french beard, right ?
Me : ( I was like “again”, this is the 4th interview I am being asked about this). Explained how my DGM asked me to remove it.
L : Didn’t you ask for the company’s policies. How could he ask you for sth like that ?
Me : I said I didn’t ask for that, but even I felt that being a face of an organization, one should be neat and trimmed.
O : Does he have any problem with moustache as well ?
Me : I am not sure about moustache, but he had a problem with my french beard.
L : Pointed to O’s moustache. Said sir you are lucky that you aren’t working in a govt. organization. ( We all laughed ).
O : Do you think Mr. Modi should be asked to shave ?
Me : I said yes, if you go by the same logic. (They again laughed)
This discussion calmed my nerves a lot. Felt at ease.
L ; Tell us sth about yourself.
L : Explain your job profile.
L : Why CASA is important ?
Me : Again explained.
L and O then started asking how I convert HNI and corporate clients. They said there is no differentiating factor in the products that banks offer. How you allure clients ?
Talked about importance of service and how it creates differentiating factor. Gave an example of Spicejet ( My client ) and how we got that client from ICICI because ICICI was not offering better services and blah blah.
They asked counter questions on this for 2-3 minutes. They looked convinced in the end.
L : asked me how we can calculate market capitalization.
Me : ( made the biggest blunder of my life, I thought it’s market share ). Talked about how can we calculate it by profits, revenues, size, no. of customers and what not.. I spoke for 2-3 minutes, but all in vain.
O : biggest bank in the country in terms of market capitalization.
Me : SBI(Right answer, luckily), reason given by me was definitely wrong. (I wasn’t aware that market capitalization is just No. of shares floating in the market*Share price.)
L : Why mba, you are destined to become a manager in your organization.
Me : Explained how it will shape my personality. The knowledge that I would gain help me to create difference in the organization I would be working in ad.
L : ohh, you wouldn’t leave your organization then ? (He thought I only want to work in my organization even after MBA).
Me : No, I will resign and clarified on my before answer.
L : Would you like to come back to your organization again ?
Me : I said yes, why not if given an opportunity. Talked about how BOB has helped me in the last 10 months. Experience, knowledge and etc.
L : Pointed out that I was the topper of my stream, why didn’t you go for higher studies like MSC, PHD in physics.
Me : Gave the answer. Showed them how transition happened.
O : Do you remember anything in physics.
Me : Slightly (I said this in extremely low pitch)
O : name a few subjects.
Me : Mechanics, mathematical physics, electromagnetics, thermodynamics (My fav. subject, mentioned it in the end)
O : tell me 3 laws of thermodynamics.
Me : I was behaving as if I am finding it difficult to recall, just a little bit of acting :P. After 10 seconds, blurted out zeroth, 1st and 2nd law.
O : Why zeroth is called zeroth law ?
Me : Explained. Took the opportunity to explain carnot cycle as well. ( I was like, you can’t corner me here, it’s my forte).
O : Nodded. Said mention your subsidiary subjects ( I guess he realized that DU didn’t give me a rank on a platter, I did work hard for it ).
Me : I studied economics in 3rd year.
O : Explain income elasticity and price elasticity.
Me : Explained. ( The only thing I liked after thermo was this subject ) Mentioned giffen goods and inferior goods as exception for price elasticity and income elasticity respectively )
O : Explain why giffen goods and inferior goods are exceptions.
L : Said thank you. Take a cookie.
Me : I said no for cookie and took a toffee (Smiled, he smiled back).
Final Verdict : Convert.

Essay Topic: Analyse 2 arguments made by Mr Shah on a new law making CSR mandatory. The 2 arguments were:
1. Some companies might not want to spend part of their profits on certain predetermined activities.
2. The move might discourage companies doing the work voluntarily.
Identify assumptions, evidences to strengthen the arguments and then to refute the arguments.
Mine was Panel-3. I was the third to be interviewed.
One of the profs (A) called me in. The other (B) was busy with his tab. Assume that I am D.
UMA; So, D, what does POWERGRID(my company) do?
D: Told about transmission line construction business, CTU roles of POWERGRID, research in Smart Grid.
A: What is Smart-Grid?
D: Explained Advanced Metering Infrastructure, Net metering and Renewable Energy integration, Power Quality Enhancement, etc. (I explained everything on the rough sheet provided. B was busy with his Tab. A was listening patiently.)
A: Okay. That was quite elaborate. So what do you do as a Civil Engineer in an Electrical Utility Company?
D: Told about my roles and responsibilities in R&D facility development and design, Township designs, etc. I also added that I was involved in CSR activity……
A: Arre wait (smiles), we will come to CSR. Eventually! (Then asked me a few technical questions which I answered)
A: So, D, you have worked in CSR activities, but you wrote a disappointing essay.
D: Sir, I agree. Actually, I have worked on and read a lot about CSR. On seeing the topic, I was excited. I tried to put in all that I could recall through my work and research. And, I was also a bit nervous. And the space was limited, and the time was limited. I have put in many examples.
A: Okay, re-read the case. (Hands over the paper to me-Now B starts looking at me) Analyze the arguments. What does he say about the pre-determined activities?
D: Sir, the Act specifies 9 activities for mandatory spending of CSR. Some companies might not want to spend on any of these areas if those activities are not at all in sync with their business policy. In that case, it would be a –
A: What are those 9 areas?
D: Swacch Bharat, Namami Ganga, National Skills Development Programme, Health and Sanitation,-
A: But Sanitation is covered under Swacch Bharat Abhiyaan, right?
D: Yes Sir, the latter is for creating awareness and providing health facilities and providing clean water, etc. I do not remember all the 9 areas.
A: So, what is your say on Swacch Bharat Abhiyaan?
D: Sir, provision of water in villages with no electricity and water facilities is a big challenge. Awareness is also an important issue-
A: How good is the scheme?
D: It is a god scheme. Yet, incomplete without awareness and water facilities.
A: Modi himself is sweeping roads, don’t you think it is enough!
D: Sir, the real motto of Swacch Bharat Abhiyaan is to make India Open-Defecation free by 2019-
A: Only for humans or animals also?? (Smiles)
D: Only for humans, as of now. (I smile back). Sir, if you plot awareness with time as per what Modi is doing, you will get a lot of spikes followed by degradation. (I draw the plot on rough paper. B smiles). This is not sustainable awareness. Instead, you need a total awareness at the grass-root level. (Drew curve of Continuously rising awareness and started explaining how the latter surve is better). Here, both B & A start smiling at me.
B: Okay, What is demographic mix of Malegaon(my home-town)?
D: More than 67% are Muslims.
D: Started with 16th -17th century events when a fort was built. And the masons were from Surat and were Muslims. They settled there and started weaving works. After Famines in North India in 19th century, Muslim weavers from Varanasi, Allahabad came to Malegaon and started Handloom business. During Partition, Muslims from Telengana shifted to Malegaon.
B: Why did they shift to Malegaon? There are so many other places in Maharashtra.
D: Sir, Muslims were already in majority due to earlier 2 events. Post independence, there was a lot of mass movement. Muslims migrated to Muslim majority regions. Hindus, to Hindu majority ones. So, Muslims shifted to Malegaon. That is why, in our local dialect, we have some Hyderabadi touch. (A& B smile)
B: What bout Mollywood?
D: Yes Sir, we have a domestic film industry in Malegaon. Initially, it started with making spoofs of well-known films. Like Malegaon-Ke-Sholay, etc. The industry promotes local talent and gets good response from people. We have started with some original works on contemporary issues. It plays a very positive role in Hindu - Muslim unity in our town.
B: Two years back, a film/documentary was released by Mollywood which was based on some disease and it received critical acclaim at international level. One of the prominent personalities in the movie died of the same disease 2 months after its release. Tell me about that.
D: (Blank face) I don’t know about that Sir.
A: Okay, D, What do you do in free time?
D: (Again took the rough paper and explained with a table, both A& B start smiling) Sir, On Sundays, Wednesdays and Saturdays, I work in an NGO named Prayatna School of Excellence. Here, I am involved in a project to segregate students not according to age but according their learning levels in different subjects. (Now, I thought Harmonium has to be told-I don’t have time. Speak Fast-Darshit-Speak Fast!) (Then, I went into super fast speech mode) Here, We have used 2 dimensional Matrix analysis to work out…… (explaining at length)
A: What was your role in this?
D: Actually, I took this initiative after I had read a case study by Pratham-NGO and MIT based J-PAL. I am doing this project on a pilot basis on a small group of students. It will be put on a larger scale later. Sir, apart from this, I also play Harmonium. (Finally I said that!)I am a student at Tansen Sangeet Mahavidyalaya in Hindustani Classical Vocal. My school is affiliated to Prayag Sangeet Samiti, Allahabad……..(super fast speech mode)….I am also learning to play flute and….
A: OK OK OK. Baap re(In Hindi). Both A&B smile (at length)
A: What is this INSDAG?
D: Institute for Steel Development & Growth (INSDAG) is under ministry of Steel to promote steel as construction material. I was awarded a Gold Medal by INSDAG for innovativeness and creativity in designing modernized railway station platform. It was a team of 4 people. Sir, one of my team mates is currently a student at IIM Ahmedabad-
B: What is his name?
D; Sir, Jay Trivedi.
D: We came with a design which made 40% material savings.
D: Again took the paper. Disbussed the structural system in normal gables. Gave its disadvantages. Explained that we went for Multibrace system. Hollow sections. ….. Torsional rigidity…..cross bracings….(lot and lot of technical stuff…Filled the enire rough paper-Finally I had no place to scribble!)
B: So, why is your name so complicated? What actually is your name?
A (to B): Look. His name is D. Hariprasad is his father’s name. Certo?
A: Ok D, that will be all. You can take candy (Smile)
D: (Smile) Sure, Sir!
A: (Watches closely) Take 2 if you want.
D: (Started selecting the second one-Which one to choose??I took éclairs!) OK Sir.
(Both A& B smiling.) Thank You!!

Content wise very good as I knew time was less and I had to finish it soon. However, my writing was very bad.
Hope Panel does not take offence at it.
Personal Interview: (Was the second one to be interviewed. In all my interviews till date, I have been in 2nd/3rd place.)
LP: An elegantly dressed, extremely smart Lady Professor around 50. She was considerably articulate and had a little English accent. She seemed to be an HR Professor.
OP: A pretty Old Professor around 55 who was grilling everyone on Interests and General Awareness. He slept for the rest of my interview.
TP: Technical Professor around 40 years of age. He was very casual in his approach.
The Interview was pretty vague and related to almost everything that was either in my certificates or form. Though they did not try stress much, but the range of questions asked made it a mild stress interview. The demeanor of IIMC Professors suggested a more Professional approach than A’s.
OP and TP never hesitated to crack a joke whenever I missed answering something. LP was very cordial and always made me feel at home. It was only due to her that I did not feel any stress at all, though it was her questions that I failed to answer most of the times.
TP comes out and follows me in. I said Good Afternoon to each of them individually.
TP: X, You are working as .. at ..
Me: Yes Sir. A little Intro about Work-Ex..
TP: X what all did u study in Computer Science?
Me: Operating Systems, Computer Networks, Data Structures, Algorithms etc.
TP: What in Data Structures and Algorithms?
Me: Link List, Trees, Sorting Algorithms..
TP: Which Sorting Algorithms?
Me: Quick Sort, Bubble Sort, Merge Sort, Binary Sort.
TP: Analyze the Complexity of Each One of them.
Me: Explained about Big Oh notation. Then compared the worst case and average case complexities of all the sorting algorithms.
TP: Have you done the Knapsack problem, n-queens problem in Algorithms.
Me: I covered each one of them, but I might not be able to recollect everything related to them.
TP: Okay, What did you do at your company?
Me: told decently.
TP: What is Six Sigma?
Me: The result driven methodology used to improve the quality in the processes and help the bottom-line of the companies.
TP: Why the name Six Sigma is given?
Me: A long discussion for 1-2 minutes. Some cross-questions related to shifting of the mean, standard deviation and more.
LP: Can I take it over from here?
LP: X, You have done Technical Writing..
Me: (Tries to stress my mind when I did it.)
LP: And u have got a good grade in it.
Me: Madam, it was Technical Communication.
LP: Right, So what did you do in it?
Me: Utter crap for 1 minute. It was a course I took in the 2nd year and have forgotten all about it.
LP: (Probably she thought I am serious) So u Studied the structuring of the report. Named the Two theories and asked me to differentiate between them.
Me: Ma’am I have never heard about these theories.
LP: Oh, Leave it No problem.
Me: More crap about Rhetoric, Formal Business Language.
LP: X, Why should we not use Rhetoric in Business Reports?
Me: Some explanation of Rhetoric. Language used in Fictions.
LP: So I should say “X, Come Here” and not “X, Please come here and take the seat.”
Me: I think the second sentence suffers from Rhetoric. But this particular usage is due to other reasons.
LP: It is not so. Anyways, what did you do in this course in Management?
Me: Marketing, General Management, Accounting, Quality Measures, ISO standards, 4Ps of marketing, Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs.
LP: Question on 4P.
Me: Explained about Product, Place and Price. (Forgot about promotion) Admitted that I cannot recollect the fourth one.
LP: Questions on Maslow’s hierarchy of Needs.
Me: Explained Basic Needs and Self-Actualization Needs. Forgot the middle levels of Hierarchy. Then some cross-questions.
LP: (to OP) Okay Sir, you can take over..
OP: Oh Yes, X what are your interests in sports.
Me: Volleyball, Tennis, and Cricket.
OP: Your father was a state level volleyball player. Are you also?
Me: No Sir, I am not such a good Volleyball player.
OP: So you play Tennis well.
Me: Pretty well, but my service is not that good.
OP: Tennis is all about Service.
Me: Yes Sir, but I meant I do not have a speedy serve, otherwise it is Okay.
OP: Okay X, if two players are tied on 6-6 on games in a set in Wimbledon final, what will happen?
Me: The match will enter into tiebreak.
OP: And what happens in tie-break.
Me: The player who wins 7 points first maintaining a difference of at least 2 points.
OP: And if it is 7-6 on points in the tie-break.
Me: Then they will continue playing until a player creates a difference of at least 2 points.
OP: Why at least? It should be exactly (Laughs)
Me: Yups. (sheepish smile)
OP: Or is it that a player can jump over 2 points. (LP joins in laugh)
Me: Joins the laugh.

Me: King Gyanendra.

Me: Mount Everest.

LP: Some more questions that I do not remember..
Okay X, Thank you very much. (Did not ask me to take a toffee. Hopefully, they have reserved a bigger toffee for me.)

Duration: around 15-20 minutes.
Two male profs P1 and P2.
P1: Professor from analytics and business intelligence domain.
P2: Younger of the two, seemed to be quant expert.
And here it goes.
P1: So bhaumik tell us something about yourself.
Me: Sir I did my graduation so and so……..for last 3 years I am working in BI…..(and he stopped me here before I can go on to explain my work)
P1: Ok, so what is BI?
Me: Sir if I explain it in layman terms, then it means….(stop)
P1: No, forget layman, let us actually talk what is BI.
Me: I gave some gyan on what business intelligence is and what do I do.
P1: Why the name Business Intelligence, what is so intelligent in it? Dont you think it is a very fancy name?
Me: I tried to convince him, it is about exploring information which is hidden in data blah blah (but he seems unconvinced)
P1: Ok, can you tell us specific analytical models you have built?
Me: Sir, I have not worked extensively on analytical models, my role has been more on functional requirement gathering and reports side.
P1: can you tell us some report you have designed etc etc?
Me: took an example from my project with bank mandiri, Jakarta…
P1: But what is so extra ordinary in this work…any normal human being can do this….i do not see any intelligence in this.
Me: tried to convince him with some more gyan…(but he did not seem happy)
P2: You have such a good profile and this work does not seem to be going good with your profile.
Me: was speechless, could not think what to respond, again went on explaining on how my work is different, what challenges are involved etc etc..
P2 takes the lead from here on.
P2: You have done graduation in mechanical, but you are now working in other industry. How do you think you are able to apply what u learned in mechanical?
Me: Sir, it is true that from technical perspective I am not applying what I learned in mechanical, but if I see from a broader perspective whatever I learned and did at IIT has helped me enhancing my problem solving and time management skills and I am able to utilize those in my current work.
P2: problem solving…..Ok….. I will ask you a problem in math.
P2: Two men A and B are playing a game of throwing a ball into the hoop. Probability of A throwing the ball in the hoop is .2 and probability of B throwing the ball in the hoop is .3. Game stops as soon as one of them is able to throw the ball in the hoop. What is the probability that A will win.
Me: It was such a simple problem to solve….but I made a lot of blunders. There were lot of questions in between on why u have done P(A) * P(B), what do you mean by independent events etc….at the end I still seemed confused and was not able to solve the problem.
Both P1 and P2 seemed a little disappointed.
P1: Ok tell me on what topic in maths do you want us to ask question.
Me: (this was a gamble, if I choose a topic and not able to answer I was gone). I told any topic should be fine sir.
P1: (With a angry look, took a pen and paper and drew some random graph) Can you draw the graph of derivative of this function?
Me: thank god, I did not panic and somehow it clicked me on how to go about it. I was able to do it perfectly. There were questions in between on why this change from concave to convex etc…what is point of inflexion. I answered them all. ( My opinion, I think this was the only turning point in my interview, profs were not expecting that I would be able to solve it but I was able to and it seemed that they gained confidence in me after this)
P1: Ok, Bhaumik. So you have been to Jakarta. Can you compare Jakarta and delhi.
Me: I spoke some random points.
Me: Are you looking for anything specific in the comparison sir?
P1: Tell us something about people, culture etc.
P1: ok, so lets say if you want to see penguins, what all countries of the world would you travel?
Me: Sir penguins are mostly found in antarctica.
P1: No No …tell me the name of countries, Antarctica is not a country.
Me: Sir – New Zealand, Australia.
Me: don’t know other sir.
P1: Ok what about Zebra?
Me: (thinking on what to speak…….) before I even start P2 pushed another one.
P1: Ok, at least tell me about Timbaktu. Where will you find timbaktu? This was in news recently, you would have heard about it.
Me: I am so sorry sir, but I don’t know about timbaktu.
Ok, bhaumik ….we are done….don’t forget to collect your belongings.

P1 : What’s the turnover of your company ?
P1 : Who are the main competitors in India considering it’s a very niche domain ?
P1 : What is their turnover compared to yours ?
Me: Told and also explained how different they are in structure like different verticals.*I speak a lot* . Told how our company set its base in U. S and expanded geographically from there (provided some stats on patent litigation activity in U. S) and justified the strategy.
P2 : Why did you leave Infosys ?
Me: Told and convinced them that I wasn’t learning anything there with examples) *I speak a lot* … also told them the big initiative I took there on which the current version of a product by Infosys is based.
P2 : So, you have met Abdul Kalam ?
Me : Told them the date !
P2 : So, what really inspired you ?
Me : Told about creativity, innovation and told them the questions I asked him and the answers I got ! Explained why it inspired me ! told them he emphasized on applying what you learn, just learning is of no use ! Told him how IITs spend 4 lakh on a student per year ! Told them the instances (my projects) where I came up with ideas from real life incidents, applied what I had learnt to make that thing (Gave an example of Manmohan Singh’s speech in our IIT, where he fumbled while reading from an e-reader and told how I thought of the problem and implemented a Speech Highlight Reader)
P2 : The media says “he isn’t a great guy, he is a ***** (don’t remember what he said, some bad word)”, So what critical evidence do you have to support your claim?
Me: Told them that my views about him are based on the lecture he gave and the personal meeting I had with him. how he explained how he did physics even though he didn’t have any interest in it but which helped him later on (Again Applying what you have learnt). Media can always bring out negatives just as they did about Steve Jobs after his death even though he built the company which was on the brink of a collapse.

P1: Can you tell me, what is a median, a mode and a mean ?
Me : Wrote and explained with a real life example (placement statistics if shown to the public).
P1 : So what will the college use while giving an honest review of the placement statistics ?
Me : The choice will be between the mode and median (explained why I ruled out Mean) and it will still depend upon the statistics in hand and accordingly we can decide if it will be a mode or a median ! (Seemed convinced)
P1: What is that distribution where median mode and mean are equal?
Me: Told and explained with graph (normal, bell shaped,68%,variance, etc.)
P2 : You told IITs spent what (I said “4 lakh per year”) yea, so how do you make sure you pay them back. Isn’t it saddening to know that people are opting for MBAs ?
Me : Told them how I have applied what I’ve learnt, though I didn’t make a product but have taken initiatives (projects) and if the juniors batch implement what I did and make a product out of it, my work’s done ! Though, even I am saddened about the situation that people really don’t use the learnings in a productive way ! (seemed convinced)
P1: So u have an international experience, nice, what challenges did you face and tell me what was the biggest problem ?
Me : Told and convinced them (i guess) using examples from my project I led in U. S while working with the lawyers.

P1: Can you tell how will you go about managing a team, rather, assembling a team, how will you chose players, if you have all the players (best, average, poor) ?
Me: Explained with a football formation on the paper how having all the best players on the field can create problems and how selecting players who can play to each other’s strengths can be a bigger force (Gave them the example of Tottenham Hotspurs).
P2: You told about innovating and creativity, What will you do if the other guy/guys in the team resist your idea ?
Me: Sir, I have faced this issue while doing my B. Tech Project where I had an idea and my partner wasn’t convinced about it since there were no algorithms in place for what we wanted to do ! we researched for two weeks, targeted every block of the whole process, what algorithms are already there or what we need to devise on our own, it bore fruits and we came out with a successful project !
P2: it was nice meeting you.
Me: Actually the essay which we had to write, I used the BOP approach to solve poverty problems and I have researched a lot on it and hence I wanted to gather your views on it and its feasibility. (*I speak a lot*)

Panel Members Intro: No idea what their names are. Two male profs P1 was the happy one who kept smiling throughout, p2 was more serious.
(After pleasantries were exchanged)
P1: So, tell me about yourself in short.
M: Same by hearted thing about where I am, hobbies and why MBA. In why MBA, i mentioned about my father work and how I would like to carry it forward.
P2: So, if that was what you wanted to do, why didn’t you take up medicine.
M: The centre that my father built was only during my second year. When I was in 12th, although I had taken up Biology as a subject, I was never good at it. My aptitude was in Maths and Physics.
P1: So, what is your favourite subject in Maths?
M: Differentiation……. and algebra.
P1: (Going through my certificates) Linear Algebra (It was a subject in 3rd Seem)
M: Not so much sir.
P1: Ok, so this centre that your father is involved in, how would you improve it?
M: 1. I would provide more facilities for the patients parents to stay (It’s a paediatric care hospital), provide a play area and a centre for children to rehabilitate after they have been cured.
P1: Ok, so tell me what according to you are the main challenges faced by doctors according to your experience?
M: Time management, because they get calls in the middle of the night and no chances can be taken. Also, for a paediatrician especially, since children cannot voice their symptoms unlike adults can, it becomes very difficult to diagnose the disease. For eg: Adults would be able to tell the doctor about a leg or stomach pain, whereas babies cannot. So it becomes all the more difficult.
P1: Ok, so how would you use computer science to make their life easier?
M: (Comp. Sci. ) Sir, I am an Electronics and Communications engg.
P1(Smiling): Oh, ok.. So how would you use ECE to make their life easier?
M: Hospitals used various equipment to track the vital statistics of patients, these could be sent regularly to the doctor’s phone so that it becomes easier to check on the patient.
P2: Ok, that would be very easy to do right? O quê mais?
M: Yes sir. Another thing would be, the labs which conduct tests are generally not in the same hospital. SO, there could be a way to directly send results to the doctors phones. I think this is already being implemented. I am not so sure.
P1: Ok, What about a webcam? Can that be used?
M: Yes sir. That also can be used.
P1: So, if you had to build a centre for paediatricians, what are the 3 things you would provide? (why. )
M: I would provide them with whatever equipment they need. ICU’s, PICU, NICU..
P1(Cutting me short): Ok, so infrastructure. O quê mais?
M: Other incentives such as other facilities such as schools for their children. So that they can live with their families and do not have to worry about being in different locations.
P1: ok, so residential facilities. O quê mais?
Me: Racking my brains for a 3rd point) Said something about super specialization in pediatrics-pediatric surgery, orthopaedics etc. (not a very convincing answer)
P1: What about the night calls? How would you tackle that?
M: Well the doctors could be on rotations. In certain places, the PG’s take up night shifts and whenever there is an emergency, the doctor is called>
P1: So, you would make the life of a doctor easier at the cost of someone’s life?
M: No sir! PG’s are doctors. But they are beginners. Also, other doctors can gauge if the patient is doing well. If the patient is not stable and they feel that it could lead to an emergency, they stay back. Only if the patient is stable do they go home.
(P1 seems convinced. Phew!)
P2: (finally talking about something other than health care) Ok, So you have written that Poverty is the biggest challenge faced by India. Why do you think the schemes implemented by the government are not successful?
P2: In what way corruption?
M: Spoke about scams, MGNREGA one.
P2: How do you know about this? The money is directly put into their accounts. So, where can the money go?
M: Told something about media and bank accounts (Not very convincing)
P2: Ok, that’s ok. O quê mais?
M: Lack of awareness. The people for whom these schemes are made are not aware of them. The educated class is, but not those in rural areas.
P2: ok. O quê mais?
M: (Why should everything be 3 reasons. ) The population sir. The number of people for whom these schemes are to be implemented are so many that it becomes very difficult.
P1: So, you said you like differentiation and integration(NO! I did not) right? Can you name one function which is a derivative of itself?
P1: ok. Draw the graph for xx|
M: I drew it. took about 5 seconds.
P1: So, is |x differentiable at 0?
M: Sir the RHL and LHL don’t match.
P1: Limit or derivative?
M: (Smiling) Sorry sir, derivative.
P1: What is the LHD?
P1: What about the graph you drew? Is it differentiable at 0? Work it out.
M: Worked out. Yes sir, it is. It is 0.
P1: Ok. Can you define differentiation for me?
M: Wrote the formula (thank god for 12th math!)
P1: Ok, so why was differentiation invented? Do you know who invented it?
P1: (laughing pretty much) no no.. Not gravity.
P2: So, you were the chief editor of your college magazine. What did you have to do?
M: Spoke in detail about recruitment, teams, coordination, etc.
P1: So, you are from Mangalore right? Recently there was an air crash there. Can you tell is why it happened?
M: Spoke about table top runway. Plane couldn’t land in time so crashed into the valley.
P1: Which airlines was it?
M: Air India sir.
P1: Are you sure? Was it not another subsidy of it?
M: Was it. ) I think it was Air India only sir.
P1: Ok. So, how would you use ECE to overcome situations like this?
M: Application question again ) Spoke about use of sensor in plane to detect distance right runway. In case the distance is too ahead, raise an alarm to warn the pilot or otherwise, to prevent wrong judgement, put the plane on autopilot so that it cannot be landed (Kind of flawed. But they bought it I think)
P1: Ok. So what is this black box?
M: It’s orange in colour sir It records conversations in the cockpit, the height of the plane, speed and other details.
P1: So when this crash happened, there was this term ‘go around’ that was used a lot. Do you know about it?
M: Sir, I can make a guess about it and went on it explain.
P1: That’s a very good guess.
P1: so, do you know about American Presidents?
M: (Where in the WORLD did this come from. ) Yes sir. Few of them and not in any order (Thinking of ‘3’ names )
P1: Who was the first one?
M: George Washington.
P1: Do you know Benjamin Franklin?
M: Yes sir. He was famous for his experiment with lightening and electricity.
P1: What else to do with US history?
M: No sir, sorry (Should have told about currency) (FYI, he was involved in Declaration of Independence)
P1: Ok. So this is a trick question. Which American presidents are not buried in America?
M: (What an idiot I am to not get this one!!) Thought for a few seconds..
P1: What is the criteria to be buried in the US?
M: They die in the US?
P1: (smiling broadly) So, anyone?
P2: Think again, do they have to die?
M: (Late brainwave!) (Smiling as realization strikes late ) Oh, the ones who are alive sir – Bill Clinton, Barack Obama, Bush.
Both of them smiling and it seems they are thinking “haha, fell right into the trap!”
P1: So, which are the states which surround Karnataka?
M: Kerala, TN, AP and maharashtra.
P2: Why does Karnataka and TN keep fighting?
M: Spoke about Kaveri dam issue.
P1: So, who was the prime minister of India from Karnataka?
M: Told Narsimha Rao like an idiot!

Any other special thing abt u: Topper in state in board exams(sorry fr unconventional format now )1 March.
We had a form to fill and carry with us to the centre . The form had questions about personal details and essay type questions including academic achievements, extra-curricular, Why ABM, Some problem in your life, and how you handled it? I reached at around 8:15 (well in time). To my surprise, there was very low turnout. Only 16/60 present. (3-4 girls).
STAGE I : Group Task.
we had a group of 6 people. We were given a case study. The length was one A4 size sheet.
5 mins for reading.
15 mins discusiion.
5 mins for writing summary of discussion(special mention that summary of discussion and not what you think about the topic)The case study was on Sarva shikha Abhiyaans elementary education programme and the problems in its implementation.
We had a nice Gd.
I started Off the GD. Gave good no. Of entries. No fish market at all. Overall satisfied.
While writing summary not evenm given full 5 mins. Sheets were taken in about 3-4 mins. II STAGE: InterviewMy turn was 4th. People before me had long interviews. (25-30 mins). They were being grilled on academics and den why ABM .
After number 3 and before my turn they took abnormally more time for reading the form(others it was 2-3 mins, my it was around 10 mins)Two people (both male) 30-45 years. Both looking professors. (Pannel for GD and Interview was same)
my interview started abruptlyInterviewer: I Me:M.
I: did u have tea?
M: I had my coffee in morning, so didn feel like having one now.
I: so you are a coffee guy?
M: No I like both tea and coffee, but its just a matter of chance I had coffee today.
(Then there was a discussion on various types of coffees, which is better, how better, Bru Nestle)
I: so what is this co. Where you work ?
M: told about my family business, my purpose of joining and learning etc.
I: asked about consumer product and capital product difference?
M: explained, had a discussion of about 5 minutes on it. ( he caught me on one question which I could not ans)
(another important thing, I tried to keep it as cool and chilled as possible, interviewer and I was constantly smiling and laughing.)
I: What subjects are your interest.
M: Accounts and eco.
I: he asked question abt PPF, and relation to my business.
M: explained well, related to business well.

Undergrad : Instrumentation & Control Engineering, NIT Tiruchy , 8.7.
Work-Ex: 30 months.
(category if applicable)Extracurricular : Paper on “Distribution of Prime numbers”- rejected by JAMS, resubmitted to annals, paper was reviewed by fields medallist, Certificate in Project Management, Department ChairmanAny other special thing abt u: I am good at origami (took a paper model to the interview , was complemented for the same )Interview & EssayVenue: Hotel Savera, Chennai.
Topic: Common sense is a result of prejudice before age 18 ( not the exact wording but something similar to that)
Brief Snapshot of the attempt: Tried to define common sense & prejudice ( not that good) went philosophical abt innateness & empiricism, also argued that age is not the criteria, concluded vaguely. (Overall not that great)
Time given: 10(+1). One had to write the essay in the F section provided in the form so that’s the space constraint.
Rate your preparation(0-5): 2.
Rate your performance(0-5): 1-2PI:
Panel Members Intro: Two profs, P1:asked the majority of qn’s, age late 40’s i guess , P2:was mainly verifying my certi’s age may be around 50 .
Questions: Most of my questions were purely technical hence it wouldn’t be of much help if you are not from C&I; , NTPC.
P1: So you work at NTPC what do you do?
Me: I work as a maintenance engr in Coal handling Plant (CHP), I have just commissioned Stage II of my plant.
P1: Ok, so tell me about how coal is unloaded using a diagrammatic representation (I was provided a paper).
Me: I drew and explained really well (after all I have been working in that area for nearly a year).
P1: What is the problem with Indian coal?
Me : Explained the various grades – bituminous and all, also explained about the ash content , explained problems with CIL and so on.
P1: So is coal the only factor affecting the efficiency.
Me; No, how water is converted to steam also plays a part.
P1: Ya, the efficiency in India and the rest of the world ain’t same right.
Me: Yes in India it’s around 33%, developed nation 40%.
P1: yes, that’s because of different in technology right, I don’t remember exactly what are they.
Me: Sub critical & super critical boiler.
P1: yes, yes. So what’s the difference?
Me: Super critical is once through boiler and sub critical there is a drum and so on. I also explained abt 660 MW, 500MW, 800MW boilers in brief.
P1: Fine, So what are the instruments which are used in CHP and why?
Me: Pressure sensors (explained why), solenoids said a few more.
P1: So how does a limit switch work?
Me: explained abt the make and break of contacts (P1: was satisfied)
P1: So this is my last qn to you ( interview was fine till then) so how does one measure the radial speed in motor vehicles.
Me: (Had no idea why he suddenly asked abt vehicle speed) I said we can use tachometer.
P1: Ok, so explain how tachometer works?
Me: The tachometer’s shaft is connected to the rotary part of the wheel and they both rotate at the same speed.
P1: What is the output of tachometer?
Me: Output is voltage and frequency, by knowing freq we can measure speed.
P1: How is this voltage generated?
Me: Actually it is a tacho Generator so that’s how.
Me: U mean in a generator?
P1: I have no idea of how a generator works so tell me.
Me: (Was shocked for a minute, this was so trivial that I almost got lost, thought for a minute ) Said there are electromagnets and rotating magnetic flux produces current this is faraday’s or Fleming’s law I am not sure.
P1: (Gave a weird look, u don’t remember the law exactly, this is XIth STD physics) anyways so how does this voltage gets converted to speed.
Me: Said something like V-F converter was not very confident here.
P1: So draw a V-F converter?
Me:Sorry sir, I don’t remember right now.
P1: Ok (to P2, pls take over)
P2: So name some power surplus states?
Me: Gujarat, Delhi. (I couldn’t recall the other ones).
P2: So what is the plan to increase power?
Me : Said about UMPP’s , advancement in Hydro and in Wind ( named Sulzon) ( forgot to mention abt Nuclear)
P2: So who are the leading producers of wind energy?
Me: TN, Gujarat, Maharashtra added that Gujarat has the max wind potential ( for a second forgot that these ppl are from Gujarat).
P1: Immediately intercepts, why Gujarat has max potential.
Me: Said high wind speed, favourable gulf of kutch ( this was a wild guess, later checked net and found my answer was to the point ).
P2: Continuing so why did DMK lose the election.
Me: Said 2G scam, not that development down south n all.
P2: So how did DMK won election in 2006.
Me: Said same problem with ADMK also so far the past 25 yrs these two parties alternate themselves to power.
P1: Laughs and says then they can have a mandate and say I will rule for 5 then you do.
Me: No sir not exactly people hope for change and do so, in fact this time vijaykanth’s party is the opposition so if a genuine candidate comes we are ready to vote also MK is old and one day his end will come so there might be a change of power within the party also.
P1: So are ppl planning on ending MK.( with a laugh)
Me: No sir that would be unethical.
P1: So you like Maths right?
Me: Yes sir a lot , I have done research on prime numbers.
P1: Ya I saw that by JAMS due you mean Journal of American Mathematics Society.
P1: So why did they reject your paper.
Me : Gave the answer with Terence Tao ( fields medalist gave to me ) saying that the content was original but it didn’t met JAMS standard and moreover JAMS reject 85% of paper submitted to them.

Delhi’s Chhavi Gupta cracks CAT with 100 percentile, had cleared IIT-JEE in first attempt.
While CAT 2017 also had 20 students in the 100 percentile like the previous year, this year saw two women and three non-engineer candidates made it to the list unlike the previous year.
Hindustan Times, New Delhi.
While many take time off, and spend years trying to crack the Common Admission Test (CAT) to get in to their Indian Institutes of Management of choice, Chhavi Gupta from Delhi, not only cracked the exam in her first attempt while holding down a full time job, she was also one of the two female candidates to be placed in the 100th percentile.
While CAT 2017 also had 20 students in the 100 percentile like the previous year, this year saw two women and three non-engineer candidates made it to the list unlike the previous year.
Chhavi, 24, who completed her dual BTech and MTech degree in Biotechnology from IIT Delhi, hopes to get into IIM Ahmedabad or Calcutta. She is aware that not many women make it to her spot but she believes it has more to do with society than calibre.
“If boys are studying, and I have seen this amongst some of my distant relatives, they will not disturb them. But a girl would still be asked to help out with household chores. Two, the priorities for many parents is to get the daughter married off after her graduation and so not many women really attempt the post graduate level entrance exams. Thankfully, I had a family that supported me 100%,” said Chhavi, the oldest of three siblings.
With a full time job as a business analyst in a technology and analytics firm, Chhavi found little to no time to prepare for the entrance exam during the week, and studied mainly on weekends, when she attended coaching classes too. Despite the time crunch, strategising her study schedule, concentrating on logical applications of formulae and practising mock tests is what helped her crack the competitive exams.
Academic excellence is not new for the Paharganj resident. According to her mother, Anju Gupta, she sets a “strict routine” for her children and Chhavi has been participating in competitive exams since her fourth grade and even cracked her IIT-JEE in her first attempt.
Though she claims she was not stressed for the most part, there were times like when she was placed first All India during a mock test conducted by her coaching centre, that she felt the pressure. At such times, she either turned to her favourite author, Jeffery Archer’s books, or turned to her personal support system to cope.
“I talked to my sister, brother, or my mother. My family really helped calm me down,” ela disse.
