Interesting! For or against, both sides have some solid points to argue. Must have been a fun discussion. After the extempore, what questions did the panel pose to you?

In my interview last year, I too was asked why MBA and what my short-term goals were. Nice to know these are recurring queries. Thank you and all the best!

For mock interviews, there would be generic topics, AI, data privacy, digitization, education system etc etc

Read news and current topics

For interviews, go through your profile and they mostly ask from that. Whatever you have done
Why mba? Why iima?
These are typical questions
So prepare accordingly.

The above is from my limited experience of preparation for interview this year.

I hope this helps

I have bough Wizako, Target Test Prep and eGMAT and can confidently say that eGMAT stood out for the structured approach and its mock tests. Wizako's Sentence Correction and Critical Reasoning modules were amazing and I did not need to study verbal from other test prep companies. (Too bad SC is gone now.) I studied only quant from TTP and eGMAT and found that eGMAT covers the most ground.
