Hi All,
I request the alumni and the current class to suggest how to prepare for WAT and PI. What kind of topics are generally asked for in WAT ??? Any suggestions for Interview preparations ??
A few generic tips for WAT/PI preparation:
Read business newspapers, and stay updated on current happenings in the business world. Understand the dynamics of your industry, and the present business scenario. Most important of all, be clear regarding why you want to pursue MBA.
I am sharing the questions I was asked at the time of my interview:
Profile related questions (How is the industry doing, what challenges it is facing etc.)
Questions from current affairs/Economics (GDP of India, Sectors of economy etc.)
Basic Financial statement questions ( What is a balance sheet, how is it different than income statement etc.)
12th Standard Mathematics (Trigonometry: How to calculate height of Qutub Minar from the length of shadow)
General Knowledge (MP & MLA of your constituency, Speaker of Lok Sabha, MP of Lucknow etc.)
Following is an indicative list of WAT topics asked in previous batch.
Everything is fair in war and business
Business sustainability is a fad
Business and Ethics are like oil and water
Is IT killing innovation
Globalisation is a curse or boon
