Hey BrunoN

Can you give us a few ideas to prepare for WAT and PI for Great Lakes Institute of Management.

Also, a few WAT topics.

We have compiled some WAT topics for IIMB at the following link. Check them https://gmatclub.com/forum/iimb-wat-top ... l#p2707224

PGPM R2 Interview results would be out by the end of the month for those who had submitted their scores before the interview. Selected candidates will be informed over email on their registered email ID.

For AWT (Analytical Writing Test) and PI, we don't insist on knowing a whole lot of trivia, but general awareness of what's currently going on around the world and especially in the country is a must. For example, we don't expect you to know the CMs of all the states in the country but we do expect you to know who's holding certain significant positions in the cabinet. Topics could be from a variety of themes such as the pandemic, current state of the economy and industry, government policies, tech innovations, anything that is trending (apart from entertainment news).

As the name suggests, the AWT aims to understand your analytical reasoning skills. You have 30 minutes to write not more than 300 words on any one topic out of 3. There is no right answer to any of the questions asked in the AWT. It's more about how you think, reason and convince. If a question requires you to pick a side, you can pick either side or provide a neutral perspective, and you won't be wrong in doing either. What matters is why you picked a certain side and it should make sense. You could even get an abstract topic such as your idea of leadership, or any scenario based question asking how you would tackle a certain problem.

So for the AWT:
1. Have some basic understanding of current affairs.
2. Have a logical explanation for the stance you take in your answer.
3. If needed and relevant, present certain (approximate, if not accurate) facts and figures to back your claims.
4. Don't freestyle; take a few minutes to think and mentally structure your essay before you start writing. You are also free to use a rough sheet and pen to note down and organize your thoughts before typing out your answer.
5. Structuring in the form of paragraphs and/or bullet points is encouraged.

For the PI
1. Remember, this is not a stress test. We just want to know you better, understand your approach and though process and validate how you've presented yourself on your application. Therefore, golden rule - stay calm, be sincere and don't bluff.
2. Know your application in and out. Know your journey, achievements, challenges, and lessons learnt.
3. Be aware of current affairs.
4. MBA is a new journey altogether and your background doesn't matter. What matters is how well you have been doing in your life so far, based on your track record of scores, achievements and extra-curriculars. In short, the "what" is irrelevant, the "how" matters. We do not ask questions based on nitty-gritties of specific subjects you have learnt in your under-graduation years ago. Therefore, you don't need to stress over it.
5. If you're asked to begin the conversation by telling us about yourself, do not mention your name, age, hometown, general facts which are already there on your application. Narrate a short story about yourself. Tell us about what motivates you to get out of bed every morning, tell us what you desire out of life or out of your career, tell us about interesting events in your life that have shaped you into a promising individual, tell us about your strengths, weaknesses and how are you trying to overcome those weaknesses. Mentioning your weakness is not a dealbreaker, but it instead will only prove that you are self-aware and willing to work on your weaknesses. This answer will build your case in determining if you're a good fit for an MBA cohort. This will require a bit of introspection and preparation. So get started on this.

Hi,

Your credentials look sufficient to get a PI invite, which you did. Your AWT and PI performance (how the panelists have graded you), along with your application essay, together with your overall profile will determine your candidature. At this point I am not in a position to assure you anything, but I wish you all the best for your results, which will be out in a few days anyway.

Thank you Bruno I missed your sentence "results will be out by the month end" .Please update the thread once its released thank you good day
