So the extempore would be like a debate. You may say a few points and the panel will come in and contradict you, or derive some conclusions and lead you on to a discussion.

Always take 30-60 seconds to think and frame your points. Then target to speak for 1-2 minutes. You will encounter questions in between from the panel. If you are looking for Mock interviews (with Extempore practice) with IIM Alumni trained in Admission interviews, please DM. (Limited slots available) Remember these key points while preparing for interviews: 1) Read you application and essay many times and be ready to explain each and every word on it 2) Have strong answers for why you need an MBA (Avoid generic gyaan that many others have repeated before you) 3) Do not LIE (you will get caught very easily) 4) Show that you are eager and have already done your research on the program _________________ Tridisha, IIM Bangalore Some extempore topics collated over the last few years: 1) Is tajmahal overhyped? Some extempore topics collated over the last few years: (as an example of what you can expect) 1) Is tajmahal overhyped? 2) Are Real estate prices driven by the economy? 3) Is Make in India a failure 4) Do women need motivation more than man?

For anyone who needs guidance with interview/extempore and mocks, you can always reach out to Preppie ( https://www.preppie.in )

is there any group/page where we can find transcripts of interviews for IIMA PGPX R1

Delhi and A'bad interviews begin in two days. All the best to those of you who have your interviews in these cities. Do share your experience here (and the extempore topics)! P.S. Last year the IIMA thread was so buzzing. I wish it were the same this time around.

Hi everyone I'm planning to apply for IIM-A and just wanted to know what are the chances for the candidate who is already an MBa but from a Tier 3 college (been getting a lot of advice that colleges don't prefer candidate already with an MBA Brief profile almost 9yr work ek - 5yrs with EY India as team lead in risk consulting - 4yrs as a management consultant with CGI, Toronto - Been doing a lot of mentoring back in Canada and have fair share of ECA during my college and professional tenure - GMAT FE target 705 (planning to give again to increase my score from 660 (classic) to 705 FE thank you in advance

Hi everyone I'm planning to apply for IIM_B and just wanted to know what are the chances for the candidate who is already an MBa but from a Tier 3 college (been getting a lot of advice that colleges don't prefer candidate already with an MBA Brief profile almost 9yr work ek - 5yrs with EY India as team lead in risk consulting - 4yrs as a management consultant with CGI, Toronto - Been doing a lot of mentoring back in Canada and have fair share of ECA during my college and professional tenure - GMAT FE target 705 (planning to give again to increase my score from 660 (classic) to 705 FE thank you in advance

Does PGPX not require 10th and 12th certificates? In the academic section of the application, there is no option to enter these details.

660 Classic to 705 FE is a huge jump. If you are able to pull it off, then it would really make your profile standout. Plus a lot would also depend on how you articulate your gaols post a second MBA. 9 yrs of consulting experience and international exposure is a plus. Feel free to reach out to Preppie ( https://www.preppie.in ) for a more detailed discussion For everyone appearing for the IIMA interview in Delhi & Ahmedabad over this weekend, Preppie family wishes you the very best. Stay calm and give it your best shot
