Nice po...@Danny-I think people like me do benefit.<br /><br />Nice post...i think the system by itself is like that..when I ask people what they plan to do, they say GRE or CAT..that's kind of absurd isn't it? It's like they talk about the exams and are so involved in the craze to get there that they don't know what they will do once they reach there and even where they want to see themselves 10 years down the line..I think that's one of the reason's the Investment banker (FOL ref) didn't know what it meant:P<br /><br />Anyways a nice post and it get increasingly more challenging to make a career decision when I read such stuff :)<br /><br />All d best!Pratik Mandrekarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09285785021596133547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6904385002487009088.post-36255038612594107842009-03-26T17:54:00.000+05:302009-03-26T17:54:00.000+05:30@FOL: Share your feelings about the whole process....@FOL: Share your feelings about the whole process... it surely ain't the best. But I feel the way masses in India run after the premier institutions and with the amount of hard work they are ready to put in, it is difficult to select/choose worthy candidates.<BR/><BR/>Talk about using big words!! This Mr X. used terms like money making abilities for himself... When the interviewer asked him what he meant by it, he cooked up some crap... utter BS! But he did make it to the second round,and it is times like these that make me wonder what does it take to impress the interviewer?Nalinihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14091126739099618064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6904385002487009088.post-23953603862002135412009-03-26T17:34:00.000+05:302009-03-26T17:34:00.000+05:30@danny: they wont repeat the questions... hopefull...@danny: they wont repeat the questions... hopefully... but SP Jain is the only management institute that has group interviews... its has an elimination(first) round... pays a lot of attention to profiles... and yes, asks very weird questions.<BR/><BR/>as I have said, there wasn't much about SP Jain interviews online... a lot about IIM interviews though, for obvious reasons :) <BR/><BR/>plus, even if it doesn't help anyone, it won't harm either... and ya, it did save me some effort... so many people wanted to know how my interview went :P :)Nalinihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14091126739099618064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6904385002487009088.post-21387861449132053372009-03-26T17:10:00.000+05:302009-03-26T17:10:00.000+05:30i knw dey aint dat dumb.. but then which dumbass i...i knw dey aint dat dumb.. but then which dumbass is gonna benefit frm ur post, as u hv said, if it ws d last day?Dannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16610564487279373318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6904385002487009088.post-70327529786631446362009-03-26T00:10:00.000+05:302009-03-26T00:10:00.000+05:30hmmm...

Though I would have enjoyed meeting so many people, the whole aspect of it being for an entrance somehow takes away the charm from it.<BR/>Agreed, the entrance might be feeble. But in a one-billion population, how to shortlist the few deserving thousand? I do not like the process either, but I don't find any other alternative. It is the same about exams at every level one might say.<BR/><BR/>The thing I find the most hilarious is people using big words without understanding anything much about them. One guy I spoke to said he wants to be an investment banker. I asked him what does an investment banker do and he didn't have a clue! Ironical, but funny.<BR/><BR/>PS: He got multiple IIM calls. :DFull Of Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12856549457401556092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6904385002487009088.post-65234293853462587782009-03-25T19:24:00.000+05:302009-03-25T19:24:00.000+05:30This comment has been removed by the author.Full Of Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12856549457401556092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6904385002487009088.post-8535993216682968312009-03-25T15:41:00.000+05:302009-03-25T15:41:00.000+05:30sure punky... next one on that... at least you hav...sure punky... next one on that... at least you have given something to write about...otherwise i have so many things going on in my head, it is difficult to decide upon one of them!<BR/>your wish shall be granted ;)Nalinihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14091126739099618064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6904385002487009088.post-52521146060703862202009-03-25T15:32:00.000+05:302009-03-25T15:32:00.000+05:30Although I feel doing an MBA would be fun, and I w...Although I feel doing an MBA would be fun, and I would really enjoy the B-school atmosphere, I dislike the entrance process so much, that I don't think I will ever be up to it!<BR/><BR/>My views on slumdog millionare: I have not seen the movie!<BR/><BR/>My views on Obama: He is a great orator no doubt, but unless he has been in office for a year or two, why am I supposed to form an opinion about him?<BR/><BR/>The question remains, do my views on these issues determine my managerial skills??? If yes, how?<BR/><BR/>Also, if I describe my personality trait as analytical, and I say that the trait of a leader is being dynamic, does it necessarily mean that I am not going to be a good leader? Can it be that I aspire to be a leader, to be dynamic, and that is why I want to go to b-school? Can this answer pull me through?<BR/><BR/>Please feel free to write an entire post to answer my questions, but really, isn't the Indian b-school selection process feebly effective at best?<BR/><BR/>Its similar to job interviews at the BE level. I am asked a question, what are your future plans? I say, I am tired of academic life, and that I see a future in the industry only. Both me and the interviewer know that it is BS. Still, we both superficially take it seriously.<BR/><BR/>Come to think of it, how many students going to SP Jain are going to become 'leaders'?<BR/><BR/>An entire post to answer this please.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16404258701260741400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6904385002487009088.post-57483107031031158032009-03-25T14:57:00.000+05:302009-03-25T14:57:00.000+05:30today is the last day for the bangalore round... a...today is the last day for the bangalore round... and they are not repeating the questions... so doesnt matter... they ain't that dumb!!Nalinihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14091126739099618064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6904385002487009088.post-39507699525498772009-03-25T14:35:00.000+05:302009-03-25T14:35:00.000+05:30i kinda like this Mr. X.. seems 2 be a fun guy!!
