3 panelists - 2 gentlemen, 1 lady. I know Prof. C P Gupta is there. No idea about other two.

Give your introduction.

Why finance?

You mentioned Mutual Fund, Tel me why it is called Mutual?

Overall, it was all academic based. I tried answering their questions and cannot do full justification.

I suppose they are interested in knowing your basics specially if you are from commerce background.

Tip for Commerce/Eco Hons. student - Please brush up your academics.It will definitely form a major part of your interview.

MY gd pi experience

12 march

profile: MFC and MBE96.40Comp. Sc(h)

GD topic: FOOD COMES FIRST, ETHICS LATER

GD was for about 12 minutes but the panel didnt stopped. It was decent GD with some good pointsfrom everyone but in between became a fish market. I opened the GD and I think my contribution was decent enough. The Panel asked one person to summarize.

MFC PI:

for most of those who were from NON eco, commerce background. It was mostly a stress interview. i was asked to think out of the box and give a solution for making commuting by bus a smoother experience. Question on CRR and SLR and strengths . dats it

MBE PI:

They briefed us about the Process - 2 min to think and 18-20 mins to Discuss and then at the end they will ask any one in the group to summarize.GD went very well. Everybody got a chance to speak. Discussion went through various range of topics - Food security, Climate changes, Poor infrastructure, Education, youth's personal aspirations etc.etc...group dis justice to the topic (atleast i think so..)Then Mods asked everyone to summarize the topic (instead of only one.....got one more chance to speak on the topic).Overall...very nice and Peaceful GD i ever had...(people are actually listening and letting the person complete his/her point...).

But then , how would i convince the panel regarding question on How MBE program would help u realize your goals. The course is on Business Economics , how would I get fit into all this ? Please answer.

Look Ashish, let me tell you something being frank. If you have some entrepreneurship plan, try to back it with two to three strong business plans after a lot of research work. I said about my plans to my IMS faculty while I was giving my mock interviews during preparations last year and in no minutes could see each of the plan being a superb flop ones. They just find holes in your every plan in just no seconds.

What tactics I followed not only with this college but with other one is that do a lot of research about the college, find out where this college is par with other and tell the same to the interviewers

Why MBE ?

1. Course is tailored on the similar patterns of the program at Harvard Business School2. excellent faculty-mostly all have done PhDs3. recognition from Delhi University4. student community is very talented and comes from various backgrounds5. apart from the academic front, we all participate in seminars, business plan competitions

and other social events6. one of the unique course which offers Econometrics

Just for the sake of future batch a short note of my short MBE PI (literally only 10 minutes) experience:

Panel: 2 males, 2 females

Introduce yourself

Why you want to leave your job and join MBE. After all you are lucky to have a job?

Why India is good at software and not so good at HW (I have work ex in HW engineering company)

Now havoc strikes, 1 sir points out at female faculty from DU who is EC professor

1 question on my favorite subject

Another question on same topic

Asked about any other favorite subject

The panel paused for a while and bid farewell to me. (PI ends)

NOTE: Prepare your academics very well (2 or more subjects) even if you are experienced. The same trend was followed last year but i did take a heed and thought i would be able to manipulate them. I was wrong. But still on prof told me that "i was good", while i was leaving. Very feeble chances......ATB for next batch......

Sorry for posting late puys..Here goes my experience.15 march afternoon slotwe were seated in a room, where a lady verified our docs.. didnt know that 2 separate sets of docs were required. Got another copy done from the xerox shop outside the main building. after the verification, we were guided to a room for our gd.. the topic was abstract- "the wheel goes round and round". the group was awesome.. the topic was interpreted differently by everyone, ranging from economy and we made a foray into finance, philosophy, life cycle, etc etc.. overall, a healthy discussion..

Next up i had my mbe interview.. No intro, strengths, weaknesses, etc type of ques.. Just hardcore acads. They asked me my favorite subjects, and then grilled me in it.. the interview lasted just 7-8 min.. avg time for others was close to 15min.. dont know how i fared there..

mfc interview was one of the worse ever experiences i'v encountered.. some real hardcore finance stuff.. the panel was literally laughing at me.. the interview lasted some 15-20min.. overall, a pathetic outing..

anyways all the best to people who are yet to experience the process.. cheers

After this we had the group discussion. 2 Panel members were present 1 lady and 1 gentle man (both from MBE)The topic for GD was "Virtues of Idleness"6 members were present in the group, 4 being absentThe discussion was about for 15 mins. Everyone had enough time to speakAfter the discussion we had another mini PI. Little more like a group interview. Introduction and questions about your strengths weakness, things that you have told in the GD.

Few intresting things1. Different panels for GD and PI. First time it has happened with me2. The discussion after the GD was a first time for me

All the best for everyone who have their interviews in the coming days!

hello everybody..i'll post my experience here

academic background:economics

work ex:nil

i had my gdpi today i.e. 26th april..the 1:30 pm slot..we were supposed to be 9 people in the group out of which three were absent.

i had my personal interview first..a panel of four memebers..

i was asked about my favorite subject and then my second favourite subject and then quizzed on that..

Was asked to relate an economics concept to something that's in news these days..

then questions on that followed..was able to answer a few and not answer a few..it was a pure acads based interview as i had expected it to be..the only non acads question that i was asked was that why are media channels fighting for the shoaib malik,sania mirza wedding/reception telecast rights..my fellow group members too were quizzed on acads.. Those with work experience were asked questions related to their work.

So the interviews arent grilling at all..be prepared with a fav and a SECOND FAV ( ) subject of your choice..and also know whats in news these days..particularly the ipl controversy because a lot of ppl were quizzed on that.

next followed the GD..topic:marrriage is a social trapa very general topic..not a very opinionated discussion, which is good..a healthy debate..nicely managed by our group..the morning group's gd topic was :should maoists be treated as terrorists?..and another group which had just 4 memebers because there were a lot of absentees was made to do a group exercise(a one of its kind in MBE gds) wherein they had to plan how to go about making a movie

...thats all that i can think of right now..the results will be out in the first week of mayATB to all of you..for more queries just pm me.

So here I am with my experience...Reached marginally on timeI must say I like the lawns,the area.the charm of the south campus

Anyways,first we had presentation given by the seniors..Introduction of econometric in the syllabusPlacement scenarioCuricullumHostels Selection procedure-gd,personality test and piFaculty members Selection process etc

All the students were divided into 2 groups.I was in the first group.I was in group 2...Group 2 was called in first for GD and unsupossedly fro personality test

The topic for GD was Jai HoI chipped in between 1nce or 2wice only but when I got the chance to add more points-I spoke of progress of India-FDI ,agricultural sector etc...

Then we were asked there to give a brief introduction about ourself.. This also went fine

Lastly I got my interview preponed before my actual chance of it..I wnt comment about it

ATB..Be yourself...I must say those people are experienced well enough..And don't worry about the interview..It was my carelessness that I didn't studied acads so properly..Brush yourself with atleast 3-4 papers of your choice

tell the papers I am comfortable with or find that interesting ..

Well basic or deep down depends on your knowledge.

how much you know about the subject?

well here's my experience of d GP/pi process of Mbe held 2day...reaxhed on time at 9dere were around 20-22 ppl...mostly 90% frm BCOM background....i heard frm d seniors conducting d admissions process dat professors were specially cald frm MIB nd other courses so dat dey cud grill us wid bcom subjects....neways..1st v were asked 2 submit d photocopies of r original certificate.10th nd 12th marksheets nd passing certificates,bothgraduation marksheets nd bonafide certificates if in d final yr of graduationa short presentation bout d course followed

den d actual process started at around 10:15v were divided into 2 grps of 10-12 ppl....i was in grp 1.....my pi was conducted 1st while d other grp was sent 4 gd nd personality testdere were 6 interviewers in d room...i was asked questions on various subjects like accounts,law,stats,economics...d accounts professor was quite tough 2 please ..but i wasnt asked ne technical ques on economics ....a very general 1 infact....but other ppl in my grp were asked quite a few ques on economics..my gd topic was "THIRD FRONT"....gave 4-5 good points.....it was followed by a personality test in which u were supposed 2 introduce urself, tell bout ur aim in life..y do u wana join MBE etcoverall i think i did fairly well....

hey guys, had my gd/pi today, must say that it was quite a chilled out process, the seniors are verry helpful.

the process started at 930 wen one of the seniors tokk us to an audi to give a breif presentation about mbe. it was followed by the main process group 1 had to go for interview first while group2 was doing its gd. simultaniously a teacher was checking the certificates of the students who were around.

i was in group 1, there were 6 interviewers, all Ph.ds and so no bluffing wud work. they first ask u about

the fav subject and put major questions on that subject only. they even try to link ur favourite subject to economics and then ask u questions on that.

its only in the end that they will ask you something related to economics.

the teachers are ever-smiling, and wont let u feel nervous.

the gd topic for the group2 was "marriage is a social trap" and ours was "corruption is the cost of democracy" after the gd the panel which consists of 2 teachers asks to introduce yourselves and thats it..

in economics they asked questions like, what what is elasticity, diff b/w correlation and regression, and from quantitative they asked questions like what is LPP, etc.today we ppl were from bba, bbe backgrounds, so we could answer them however i dont think they'll ask such questions to sciences students.

the "introduce yourself" question was their idea of personality test..and questions like why mbe is asked after this personality test only.

i had my GD/PI today. GD topic was "Wisemen say neither be a lender not a borrower".

The interview was acads only (wasnt that great for me.. they asked some tricky questions). They usually ask your area of interest and then ask about that only.

For people with work-ex: they were generally asking about your experiences about the company only. Only one-two questions were asked of acads frm these ppl.

GD batch is around 9-10people

11 people per batch..

and ya one more thing, we are called on the basis of our background, which means that they call special people which know in and out of every subject we have studied, so make sure u tell your favourite subject as the one which really is your favourite and u know at least its basics..

I observed that mostly the students were from same or similar background and so was the panel..And the i/w has been scheduled accordingly

Hello Puys...

ATB to all f u

cheersss.......:cheers:

appeared for GD/PI today.

here is the summary.

ppt presentation i missed...i was late..... others said it was boring.Sr's told this years placement was not that good due to recession.

then

submission of xerox and originals.

only two panelists 4 GD. they were cool.GD topic was 'seeds'.since topic was abstract in nature everybody has some sort of new idea.thentalk about yourself.

PI( originally 5 panelists with a central table full of snacks....ymm..... but one of them was outside may be in washroom )

first question was what are ur subjects(B.Sc Maths Major)which university ( final year ignou )they asked nothing from academics.(May be the maths expert was out......in washroom )I think my 3yr work experience in online teaching was quite interesting for them and complete in depth discussion was around that only like they were willing to learn some techniques.at the end.one of them started talking on his cell phone too.....weird. isn't it?one P askeddo you regularly read some business magazines or business newspaper.......i said NO .another P said you are earning a good sum of money don't you think some other student deserves this......i defended baah blaah.....

overall it was fine.But, I think i couldn't defend my gap years very well in the about yourself section just after GD. In GD i was a bit nervous..and stammered too...that may go against me. So, most probably i am

screwed.

Best of luck to others.

hey!!in response to ur query lemme tell u in our current batch we have a 2-3 students with Maths background, in fact visit our site, ull find that our batch has a very balanced mix of students from

various fields, leading to a very conducive learning environment.regarding ur gap year, i cant comment on behalf of the faculty, but in my personal opinion, anything thats genuine & justifiable works well with the GD-PI faculty.& finally, regarding ur gd-pi doubts, u'll b interviewed with students of similar background, & so expectation would b likewise.current affairs, have been discussed to death around here, so lemme just say that they are what they are "Current".hope it helps

guys, u need to find the answer in yourself,-

Why do you want to do an MBE- the advantages of this course have already been discussed in previous forums, based on available calls & your personal interest in the subject- you would know how to defend this question.I was thinking (B4 coming to us) one of you might come up & give some constructive suggestions....anyways..you can look up past threads of MBE to get a hang of the probable answer, such questions check your clarity of thought a "One Size" fit all wont work here...For this question be honest you'll sail through

well here's my experience of d GP/pi process of Mbe held 2day...reaxhed on time at 9dere were around 20-22 ppl...mostly 90% frm BCOM background....i heard frm d seniors conducting d admissions process dat professors were specially cald frm MIB nd other courses so dat dey cud grill us wid bcom subjects....so b prepared wid ur acads.........neways..1st v were asked 2 submit d photocopies of r original certificate.10th nd 12th marksheets nd passing certificates,both

graduation marksheets nd bonafide certificates if in d final yr of graduationa short presentation bout d course followed

den d actual process started at around 10:15v were divided into 2 grps of 10-12 ppl....i was in grp 1.....my pi was conducted 1st while d other grp was sent 4 gd nd personality testdere were 6 interviewers in d room...i was asked questions on various subjects like accounts,law,stats,economics...d accounts professor was quite tough 2 please..but i wasnt asked ne technical ques on economics....a very general 1 infact....but other ppl in my grp were asked quite a few ques on economics..my gd topic was "THIRD FRONT"....gave 4-5 good points.....it was followed by a personality test in which u were supposed 2 introduce urself,tell bout ur aim in life..y do u wana join MBE etcoverall i think i did fairly well.....ATB 2 d rest of u.....

GD PI experience of MBE and MFC of Delhi school of economics

GD PI experience of MBE and MFC of Delhi school of economics==================================================UDDALAK BANERJEE

Delhi School of Economics is one such college which boasts of the least amount of fees which was nearly 24 k for entire 2 years and that provided placement of 7.6 lpa on an average.The ROI was really huge . Besides Delhi University is a brand in itself of which people die for .The GD and PI of  MBE and MFC programs were combined . At first we were seated in a big room where documents were verified and then we were distributed in groups.My group number was 2 and i had to wait for my chance to come.But it was not a long wait. Soon the group number 1 finished their gd and came back to the room and we were escorted to the GD room.

THe topic for the GD  was  “India needs more IITs than IIMs”. There were about 12 members in the gd group. I introduced the topic and spoke for about 70 seconds. I said,” IITs are the technical institutes which provide the fundamentals of working,construction and design of mechanical,electrical,computer science oriented subjects which are the ones that are used today . Even a Hr uses tools which are driven by computer science, incase of MIS we have the data manipulated and provided to us in a structured form through which the analyst draws conclusions. THe technical aspect of life needs to be known before the managerial aspects,for managerial aspects can come to you by prolonged experience after having worked 10 years in the industry usually people even without a management degree become potent enough to manage a team .Besides even statistically if we analyse the condition of india we will find that the number of people who appear in class xii board exam is far far far more than the number of people who appear for graduation which is mainly due to the high dropout rate.So both from the statistical and practical sense it makes perfect sense to have more IITs than IIMs. ”The debate then continued round and round. Many people came up with points like IIMs have lesser seats as compared to IITs and the packages in IIM s are more than IITs so this proves that we need more managers . Some came up with point that India is suffering from mismanagement of resources and would be immensely benefitted if they had more quality managers.I spoke once more towards the end, i said then that ,” It is not that the iims alone produce managers there are many other institutes who provide it. Even IITs provide the country with lots of managers and the cutoff too is as high as 99 percentile and given the infrastructure of iits they can also provide the country with more managers . So setting up the IITs would definately help the dual cause of creating more technicians and managers.”. The group accepted the point and hence i was asked to conclude too. I concluded that “ majority of the group believes that IITs are more important than IIMs at this juncture of growth of our country  where infra development is of paramount importance. Besides IITs themselves are providing the country with very elite managers who too are doing equally well as the IIMs.”

The interview questions of MFC and MBE were different. First came MFC.

MFC interview questionsIn the MFC interview there were 2 interviewers.

interviewer1,”what is MFC?”

I said,” it is managing of financing for businesses.”

Interviewer2,” how does the stock market work?”

I said,” i dont know in details But as far as i know . Stock prices are dependent on many parameters public sentiment being one of them . If the public believes that the company on a given day is doing well then its prices go higher and if it feels that the company is doomed as was the case with satyam in the aftermath of the scam then the prices of shares crash .There are two stock exchanges NIFTY and BSE. These are just indicators of financial health of the country”

Interviewer 1,” NO but how does it work actually ?”

I said,” the buyer contacts the registered agent who fills the KYC and submits to the exchange. The registered agent then guides the buyer to buy certain number of shares of any company. Which again can be of various types it can be futures,contracts based on what time they would be withdrawn and their dependability on the market.There are bonds too which usually are considered safer.Everyday the buying and selling of shares take place and based on these transactions the market shows signs of growth or fall”

Interviewer 2,” your idea of shares are not that deep . You need to understand the entry points and cash policies more. What u gave us is more of an overview.”

Interviewer 1,” you have a cat score of 99.12 . what other calls do you have ?”I said,” XLRI, 6 IIM s , MDI,XIMB ,Scmhrd  all IITs....”

Interviewer 2,”why MFC?”

I said,” it is an esteemed college and has a very high ROI and at this point i have only got calls it is not converts. So there is a gap between calls and converts.”

Interviewer1,” ok fine you may go now. You have MBE interview too? wait outside they would call you soon.”I said,” ok sir”

MBE interview

This interview had 3 interviewers all were woman of middle age.

interviewer 1,” you believe in astronomy?”

I said,” why mam?”

Interviewer 2,”no your name seems similar to astronomers”

I said,” i would like to take it as a compliment but as such it is mythological name and deals with early part of mahabharata. “

Interviewer 3,” what are your hobbie?”I said,” writing shortstories, poems “

Interviewer 2,”Dont you think poets are bad managers?”i said,” No Mam i would beg to differ on that . On the contrary they are good managers. Because they play with words to create poems. So management of words is there as you have to search out the most apt word for the statements and also make it to rhyme. So management is there in every word and statement. Besides they provide satisfaction, spikes interest and provides relief . This again helps and acts as a addon for all managers.”

Interviewer 3,” you read news?”i said,” yes”

Interviewer 1,”what was the euro crisis all about?”I said,” it started from mis appropriation of national resources of greece at a time when the biggest economies of the world were shrinking due to large scale scams . The life style of greece played its part and so did Germanys emergence as the defacto player of euro.THe trade imbalance that was created due to superior goods of Germany occupying the common market of Euro country greece was inevitable as the lavish life style of people of greece and their inclination to spend  more and more and buy german articles pushed them towards a point of trade imbalance triggering the crisis. The financial system of the country got broken after a series of scams and bankruptcy of most of its leading banks.”

interviewer 1,” what is credit swap?”

I said,” it is taking credit by giving mortgage of property. This is something that led to fall of lehman brothers and started the recession of 2008-09. As the property held in mortgage turned out as bad loan as the housing prices dipped leading to large scale apprehensions and mistrust which led to fall of the stock markets across Europe and

USA.”

Interviewer 2,” why was india not impacted?”

I said,” because india had a rigid system of giving loans. IT is based on documentation and is thoroughly regulated by RBI from time to time through various measures. Money in circulation is entirely regulated by the Central Bank.”

Interviewer 2,” how does rbi regulate the flow of money?”

I said,” thorough varying of interest rates of CRR, SLR,Bank Rate etc.”

Interviewer 3,” you are a computer science engineer from a National Institute of Technology. Your profile too is decent. Wont this be a separate field?”

I said,” Computer science applications are there for MBE too. Now a days everything is dependent on computers. Besides during my experience with Birlasoft i have learnt that in life one needs to be multidimensional to grow. MBE would provide me with the requisit diversity”

Interviewer2,” your cat percentile is 99.12 . you have given any other exam?”

I said,”yes Xat, snap,nmat,cmat , gmat .”

Interviewer 1,” how did u do in them?”

I said,” gmat i got 700 out of 800 which makes me qualified for seeking admission to all IIMs , in nmat it was 99.98 percentile which makes me eligible for nursee monjee , in snap i secured calls for schmrd,siib etc, in XAT i have calls for both programs of XLRI BM and HRM with near 99 percentile. Cmat results are not yet out. But for AIMat i have 99.56 . “

Interviewer 1,” thats impressive”I said,”thanks”

Interviewer 2,” so you have left out Gate?”I said,” it doesnot suit my tastes. May be someday i would do it too (smile)”

interviewer 3,” ok that would be all. It was nice talking to you. I think u are through with MFC interview too.So i think it will be all for the day for you. ”I said,” ok thanks mam”

RESULT : CONVERT IN BOTH MFC AND MBE

=================================================================

My first GDPI experience at MBE..

As finally reached Delhi University ( South Campus ) , by using the Airport Metro Link, reached Dhaula Kuan, and then Satya Niketan Bus stop. So I think that campus is far away from Bus stop and i asked the auto but really auto seeing me as a person weared a corporate suit and a fastrack goggles, and he uttered his mouth, "  Sir, i will hire only 200 rupees.  (Sir ji 200 hundred rupees lagenge..). " And unluckily i made my mind to give him 200 rupees, but luckily with the grace of Guruji, a nice person stood over there, told me Delhi University, South Campus is just one kilometer ahead, so you are a young guy, you will reach there by walk itself. By hearing this, auto person turned his eyes opposite to me, and my purse thanked me that i didn't destroy its wealth.               At last I reached there, And i asked about the Arts building and security guard show me the way, and finally i reached the Arts building and see the competitors and they are really handsome and a personality which is far good than me ( this statement really gives a pain ). Then I searched the room of Room No : 9 and finally wait there and as i am started my talkings with the other guy sitting beside me, and i asked him, " Which group ?"  He replied in a serious tone, " Group 11".and started reading again the most hilarios and boring newspaper by my side, The Financial Times.                                            Again i turned to different guy, and asked the same question, and he replied in a same tone, " Group 9" and i replied in a funny note, " my group is same" I don't understand one thing that why are they tense? I have also an interview but i am not tensed as they had. And it is only call for me for MBE and not any other top25 college called me for any GDPI, and they had minimum five to seven calls.Someone came from Banaras because they had an interview two days earlier,some had calls for IITs, and they took holidays from their companies like Infosys, Wipro, TCS, and Hp, etc,,,etc.. But i am not tensed as they are. but i started to converse with different guy and ask their experiences in their respective companies and their GDPIs...                  Then we filled up all forms, and surprisingly only seven out of 12 are coming for attending GDPI, honestly say, this is the good news for me, and same for the other candidates. And  a great surprise is also ahead, one madam asked the Group 9 and took us in a different room, and told us, that you had interview first, And this really shocks us, i am the second one in a group. and Ashish went first, number one in my group. and i am going for the third panel, and Akansha of my group and only girl in my group, is waiting beside me for the other panel. One student is running over there and when he see me and told me that Don't tense, everything will be OK, you will rock, and then i realized that i am taking tension also. and she one surprises over there that Akansha is also laughing but her stepping towards the floor and rubbing hands show that she is also taking tension.      Ashish is emerging out, and when i asked what happen , he smiled and told me ,,nice interview. I replied in affirmative and somehow tensed  note Ok. And one person is emerging out from that room, and asked me come in. and i went there with my opened files which contain all my certificates and all. And I told them in a smiled way, " Sir, Good Afternoon!"they are three in number , two are sitting in front of me, and one is sitting beside me in  a single

sofa, and he seems to be sleeping.

Person 1(P1): good afternoon abhishek, do you know a guy in bollywood has a name as like you, do u knoe him?me: yes sir, i know him , He is Abhishek Bachan .

P1: then correlate you with him.me: sir 1- He is Abhishek Bachan and i am Abhishek Maurya,           2- He serious and i am also serious about our work ,           3- He has a great determination and i too sir,           4- In  a funny style, he is great fan of Aishwarya, and i too,

Person 2(P2) : but she is the wife of Abhishek Bachanm and you are not.me: Sir I know this but in starting he is a great fan of her.

P2: Ok,me: 5- He also belongs to the UP and me too sir,

P1: Corealte with the pros cons of yourself with him and negative and positive circumstances with you and him,

P2: you are an engineer student so you don't understand what do we want to say, so abhishek, tell me one thing which one you want to change in your life?me: Sir, i have over-passionate energy for my work sometime and i want to lower down in a controlled manner.

P2: But do you want to change it,

P1: Do you got any harm by this?me: sir, when i writing my papers in exams, so when i wrote last questions of exams then i have a great energy at that time and seamlessly my presentation about everything is good, but due to excited state, my presentation is not as good as  first question and due ti this sometime i lost marks.( i know this is the answer that showed my weakness and in the same questions and answers person 3 is never speak out a single word and he seems to be sleeping but when i answered the question then i answered all the three person, don't answered the question to the single one)

P1: It means that you are a good presenter, how can you proof?me: sir, my marks are the proof of it, i got 76.32% marks aggregate, and i think that it is only because of my percentage, when you are not good with your way of presentation of you writing then you don't got good marks.

P2: ok abhishek, tell me about yourself as Career Launcher told about you that you will told this to panels.me: Career Launcher?

P1: IMS, TIME anybody tell you,

P2: Ok ,leave it, tell me about yourself,me: My name is Abhishek Maurya, and blah blah,,and in last i told him that as came from the city where i don't know how to access internet, but i choose the information technology branch which is totally dependent on the advancement of technologies and internet, and i really learned from it, and i learned over my subject like Cloud Computing,etc etc,,( as third person hear the word Cloud Computing he awake as a hilarious master)

Person 3(P3): Then what is cloud computing?me: sir let us take an example, you have an mobile whose internal memory is 180 MB, and you have an external memory of 2GB,  but do want to access the data of 4GB and this extra 2 GB, you want to use for today and it has no use tomorrow,

P3: ( In frustated mood,) Is this Cloud Cmputing?

P2: sir, he is only making the background by which we understand what is cloud computing?me: ( as seen the matter is clear..) and you increase your memory by renting 2 GB memory for today , and similarly as the cloud computing is, Pay As you want, not to buy the external memory for permanent just rent it, and when you are used off, then leave it. And again i tell him the two examples of cloud computing.

P3: then what is mobile computing?me: I answered not to him personally , but to all and i think that they understand it .

P3: ( he starting the questionnaire with me and aske as many question as he want, and i give all the answeer of him) what is the difference between cloud computing and mobile computing?what is the difference between Mobile OS and Desktop OS?what is the difference between Mobile OD and Apple Mac?what is the difference between Mobile system , a satelliete and a walky-talkie?( person three is just asking all one- one on me and asked many questions...)

P2: Abhishek, i don't understand why do you want to do Business economics after your technical degree, and hows it help you?me: Sir, Management and Techincal things running parallely, and if you are lacking behind in any one thing then you will be a failure, and these techincal things will help me making in decisions, If I do MBE then i want to be in a marketing anylyst, then if i have to invest in some major comapnies like Infosys, then i have to know that which technology they will be adopting in future and what will be their benefits and losses, and by reading this i invested my money and my clients money regarding to that company.

P2: I don't understand what do you want to say?  and  this is also told by a broker Mr.X without doing his B.Tech and what is the difference between you and him.me: sir, but he is not sure about the profits and losses, Mr. X is just tell the some days

earlier profits of that company and seeing the graphs of growth , he told you to invest in that company.

P2: again I don't understand  you, let I want to invest in Tata Steel and a software company like Infosys, then how can you manage?me: Sir, first i read the sector they are working on, and in future what new technologies they will be preferred like Tata Steel is a manufacturing company, and if they use the Six Sigma technology then it will .....(person three interrupt in my answer)

P3: What is 6 Sigma?me: i am answering my question,( again he interrupt..)

P3: why 6 is placing there?me: i am answering my question blah blah,,,and as i reached to the final statement..

P1: what is Sigma there?me: I told them

P2: which one is Pink newspaper?me: i don't know sir,

P2: which newspaper do you read?me: sir Hindu.

P2: which colour it is?me: sir white.

P2: don't you see the pink newspaper?me: Ok ,sir, its economic times and financial times.

P3: why is is pink so?me: i answered them, but i know it is the wrong answer.

P1: tell me abhishek, five countries of america?me: sir, i don't know,

P1: tell me five countries of Africa which doesn't play Cricket?me: i don't know sir (in a smiling face)

P1: Ok, then tell me who is Angelina Markowny,me: again, i don't know sir..

P1: ok, abhishek, thank you ,you may go now.me: thank you sir.and i left that room. and i think that it is a stressed interview because this all happened to me within 25-30 minutes and my interview is the time taking because some of my group member told me that they had finished their interview within 10 minutes.

and when i returned to my room , then everybody asked me what happened?and i told them all the questions and surprisingly these are the exceptions for them and they even dnt know the answer, and i think that  why don't they ask the Golden question That WHY MBE? which is ever prepared by me within two hours.and when my whole group finished with their interview, then the same ma'am told us that go with that boy and when you all finished with your GD youe whole process will be terminated and thank you.And we went along with that boy, and we see the GD ma'am she is looking nice and an experience one,and told us about all the process, that first introduction within 2 minutes, and then sir told us the topic and then 5 minutes think over it, and then dscussion over it, and then conclusion in a single statement.Ma'am pointed over Ashish, and i don't know why ashish is stammering , he is cool guy, and ma'am pointed to me, that you will start, Ashish at the end, and i give an intro about myself and then at last i tell him about my hobby that i wrote blogs which are availabe at mauryaabhishek.blogspot.comMa'am asked, what do you write?ma'am i wrote poetries and articles." from the morning i see many of you are writing the poetries and justify you all colleagues and justify to all those who told me that they are writnig, and it is big responsibility on you."" Thanx ma'am for giving me a chance to justify me and all my colleagues."and i write my best poem and my favourite one Lakshya and they really like and ma'am make a small clap for me, and just after introduction GD started and i initiate the GD, and everyone is awesome in my group and every points of every person is awesome,Sorry i forget to tell the topic, topic is  BRAIN DRAIN SHOULD BE STOPPED.and Akansha is only one who is against us but she is awesome in her points and our GD is finished, we don't make any fish market and we moved from there..and we walk and enjoy the canteen and made awesome friends over there...let us see what will happen in the result hope for the best...thanks God giving me such a wonderful chance and thanks Guruji who make me confidence during the whole process.....All the best who is reading my blog for their preparation,....
