  • >Finally.. the IIFT interview!!!

    >This is a long impending post.. but my laziness to actually sit and type the whole thing right from my diary on to this box, using a not so friendle slate( the keyboard!!) kept me away. now finally when i have exams going on, so relatively free, i am doin this sacred job.

    As i have already told, this interview experience is not for me.. but the few people who are to attend ant forthcoming interview would find it beneficial. So next time people, U know where to look for any such kind of experiences???.. “google Search”!!! he he..

    K, without any more bullshitting lemme copy paste the thin..

    30th jan.. at around 12 noon.. I was the 9th guy but as one did not turn up, was called in 8th in sequence. Spent the time till then chattin to fellow aspirants, reading the newspapers in the lobby and jus ogling at the magnificent hotel!!
    As soon as i entered in.. made it a point to wish each one of them. they were four in total, waitin to slaughter me. n this was my first MBA interview.
    let me call them Panel – P, as i don’t really remember who asked asked who.( Tol U ‘ kal kare jo aaj kar.. aaj kare jo abhi!!’ )

    bj – gud morning
    p – gud morning, plz take ur seat.
    p – Som you are Bharat Jhurani.
    p – Bharat, i saw that you were interacting well with people outside??

    BJ – Kind off sir.

    p – u know them before coming here??
    bj – No sir.

    p – So, u mingle with people very easily ha!!
    bj – smile in afirmative

    p – k, they must have told you what questions we are asking. Give us our feedback on the whole process?
    bj – Sir, the whole process is being conducted very well, especially the exchanging of the panels for GD n Interview is an excellent idea.

    p – So, U must be knowing what questions we are asking? what different should we ask you??
    bj – Sir, according to the inputs i hav got, it appears that you are asking a different set of questions to each. But if you insist, I would suggest asking on Hobbies as that would be unique to that person.

    Some questions on Hobbies. My answer – blogging, reading, music, Writing articles.. n was grilled a little on them,

    then was asked a few questions on general awareness – inflation def., present rate, y is it increasing, what implications, etc..

    Was also grilled on the fact that i am a fresher. Said that “Any college should strive to attain a balance between Freshers and work-ex people so that we compliment each other’s learnings”‘..

    then was asked a few questions on Acads – Wht subjects in final sem? Fibre optics.. n stuff( Moi from ECE)

    The interview lasted for about 8-10 mins, and was pretty satisfied with it over all..

    That is reproduced from my diary dated feb 4th. Was sitting bored in the class, and so wrote tht.

    other interviews on the way. Still five more to go.. will come as and when i have borin xams going on. Else my mind would crave for better things in life… he he..

  • >Am i a NERD??

    >

    one thin tht really hits me sometimes is.. AM I A NERD?? i wanted an answer. Now do i hav to sit under the bodhi tree and seek enlightment?? or ask someone?? could not think of anythin.. till i bumped on the link.. now i m relieved. I take things positively. it is not “u r nerdier than half of the test takers”.. it is ” half of the test takers r more nerdy than u!!!”

    nerd :
    1. An insignificant student who is ridiculed as being affected or boringly studious
    2. An intelligent but single-minded expert in a particular technical field or profession
    3.Someone considered boring because of their obsessive hobby or narrow solitary interests

    Your Score Summary

    Overall, you scored as follows:

    41% scored higher (more nerdy),
    2% scored the same, and
    57% scored lower (less nerdy).

    What does this mean? Your nerdiness is:

    Somewhat nerdy. I mean face it, you are nerdier than about half the test takers.


    well by the way… for record sake.. I HAVE CONVERTED IIFT-DELHI!! YIPPEE!!!!
    ah! ya, the pending interview experience is on the way!!! soon!!!!

  • >IIFT GDPI..

    >hi everyone..
    Well, let me add a disclaimer at the very beginning. This post is one among the many GDPI processes i am undergoing these days. This may be useful to some peoplen those isolated souls.. Read on!!!

    IIFT done.. I mean done with My GDPI for IIFT. Had it on Tue, Jan 30th at hotel Golconda, Masab tank at hyderabad.

    I reached the centre at 8:45 itself, as i did not want to take any chances. It was good anyways, i got a chance to interact with others out there. There were totally 22 people called that day, divided into two groups of 11 each. I was the 9th person in the second group.

    All my group members, lets call it the ebony group, were seated in an hall. At about 9:30 we were called to a board room kind of hall, where each of had to sit at the alotted place. Each seat already had a plate with our roll numbers. The eighth person of our group didn’t turn up, so it was 10 of us. The group comprised 9 guys and one girl, with most of them having work-ex, barring me and one other guy.

    there were two mods, a lady and a gentleman, who handed us blank sheets, for the essay. then after listing out the procedure, the topic was given – “balance between Professionalism and Family”. we were given 20mins for the same, and the word limit was 300 words.

    Just after the Essay, even when the gentleman was collecting the sheets, the lady started of with the rules of the GD. The same as expected – Initially each one gets about 90seconds to speak on the topic, and then it is open for all, with each one of us being the moderator for about 2-3 mins. The topic for the GD was – ” RTI act is an hamper to decision making process”. It was a very decent GD, with each one gettin his own ample share of limelight. No one exactly knew what the job of the moderator was. Bring in order to the group, Show direction to the discussion!! it just went on. There was a bell being passed on to signify who the moderator is.

    I was pretty decent in the GD, with a whole lot of facts to throw. I vomitted all of it in the initial start itself, and came into the GD a pretty decent number of times. While moderating, i tried to get the discussion to the beginning core issue – “Before carrying on, Why don’t we first look at what the present RTI act states??”. On the most of were quite satisfied with the GD, and thanked everyone for not making it a fish market. As the time came to an end( around 45 mins), the last 3 ppl did not even get a chance to moderate( Not that it really mattered!!). We were not even asked for a conclusion.

    At about 11, after the GD, we were asked to wait in the other hall for the interviews. Here the panel gets swapped, between the two groups. I guess IIFT believes in the concept of ” Better 6 ppl give an opinion rather than 3″ or maybe they do this so that the panelist does not have any preconcieved prejudice towards anyone on the basis of the GD.

    well, more about the interview later!!! Digest this first yaar!!!

  • >M in the NEWS!!!

    >Hey.. Very quick post.. I know.. BUt this has a reason. I m in the news, ah! well not 4 the wrong reason for once!!! He he.

    I have been quoted in the Hindu in an article on Eve-teasing!!! Ah! ok, trust me its not for the reason that i was eve-teasing or somethin. Just because the reporter thought i am a sensible and a responsible citizen of the city, and i can give good comments( No wrong meanings.. u perverted minds!!).

    Here’s the quote :

    However Bharat Jhurani, final year engineering student at GITAM, has a neutral approach to the issue. “It’s a part and parcel of college life, it can’t be avoided but guys have to keep within their limits,” he says.

    well, for the full article.. find it here.

    Ciao,

  • >update!!!

    2) Had a trip 2 Hyd for some workshop by TIME. It was fun, intercating with some of the best brains of the country.. trying to compete with them.. and eating all day.

    3) I had my first sip of MARTINI at 10 downing street.. Man!! Telling u.. it may be expensive( What the heck?? Yes, it is expensive at 250/- bucks a glass).. but it is totally worth.

    4) Hmmm!!! Well, i guess even a blogger is entitled to have some privacy!!! He he!

    well, that is all for now. one more thing, My next post would be useful to guys aspiring to get in a B – School in general and IIFT in particular!!! So keep waiting…

    Well, it maybe useful for anyone infact, anyone who cares to read the random crap and craves to pass a small number of his/her( No prejudice) precious seconds.
