I had my interview a couple of hours ago. Questions like:
1. Why an MBA at this point of your life?
2. Examples when you had a disagreement at work.
3. If your leadership style has changed over time.
4. Mention an occasion when you got feedback and how it went?
5. Why to transition to a financial role
I'm not sure how it went. I didn't feel it was the best interview but it didn't go bad. Do you know how likely is to be rejected after the interview? Does it influences a lot in the outcome? Do you have data from past applications? Thank you all!

PGPX
Final Decision:
Admitted
Status:
Off Campus with Alumni
Interviewed on:

1 year ago May 19, 2025 09:05
Just finished with my PGPx interview. I showed suited up, they had called us to 5 Star Hotel...
Waiting room Jitters: Relax and interact with people present, I did just that. Everyone is a bit tensed up in that room, finding common conversation topic helped me. The wait could be long so it's best to make good of the time available.
Interview Proper:
Faced a 2-person panel, couldn't ascertain their credentials. Started right of with my extempore.
Rebuttals came mid-way, don't expect they'll let you complete, they want to push you off from your planned path and cross question you. Just be calm and try bringing back the discussion to your familiar path, avoid conflict or defensive tone.
Interview shifted to a very small discussion of my work ex; they just had some doubts no grilling here.
Next topic discussed was expectation from MBA, I said something consulting so they asked how my present work ex will help me become a consultant (I am from what people refer to as diversity background). I tried my best STAR method.
Out of the blues came 2 math questions, one was probability (couldn't solve) other was calculus (solved).
Thats it 25-30 mins of fighting time.
Takeaways:
Current affairs topics have a good chance of showing up for extempore, it's good to stay current.
The tone of interview is professional and strict, things tend to stress up rather than going relaxed.
Topic shifting will be very dynamic and quick, best to stay mentally alert.
Play by your strengths rather than covering your weaknesses, try taking the discussion in your strong area.
Stay calm and enjoy the process.
