rick121 , You should have kept that in mind before asking for inputs from others. Guys and gals how was the experience today? My experience was good, although one of the panelist tried to force me on my wrong foot. But I was able to defend my point.

The panel that interviewed me took only 15 mins for each candidate. Most of my questions were related to my previous work. The interview went quite well. Panel was very cordial. Posted from my mobile device

My interview was mostly on my industry(EPC) and functional area(procurement) - current trends and future, just few questions on work profile and some question on current affairs and impact of COVID.

Friends, Today I learned why it is essential to have a good guide beside you; otherwise, even after winning 50% of the battle of MBA, you may lose the final war! After being applied to ABC, I got shortlisted for A & C as per expected lines. So my interview for Cal got scheduled for 12th September, i.e., Today. However, to my dismay, I got an explicit rejection from IIM-Bangalore two days before my Cal interview, and my confidence and the world came crashing down. So I have left the hope for getting into the other B-Schools in which I have received the shortlist. To vent the frustration, I posted this on the IIM Group discussion forum that even after scoring 750 in GMAT and having sufficiently good extracurriculars, I got rejected by B! As the saying goes, "when anything is written in destiny, the whole universe conspires to make it happen." And then I received a text from Mr Rupam Lakhar, an IIMC Alumni ( https://www.mentoringsquare.com ) and gave me few pointers that may have led to rejection and shown me few slides that have the ingredients to succeed, especially what I feel is he is an expert in guiding what IIM's wants being alumni. Immediately I requested him to conduct a mock for the upcoming interview, and we settled for few mocks. He gave me the success mantra for maximizing the chances of getting selected and boosted my confidence for the IIM Cal interview. After Today's interview, I feel that I have decoded 80% of my interview well in advance of the scheduled interview because of him only; he got into the nerves of the institute and showed me the right things they wanted. Now, I am pretty sure that I will cut; if not, I will have no regrets because I have given my 100%. I have that satisfaction. This post expresses my gratitude to Mr. Rupam may not be construed as a Publicity or Marketing Post. I want to thanks my mentor from the bottom of my heart. Would you please continue to provide such services in the field of mentorship? Shashank
