They asked me about my background, my education, my professional career and why I wanted to do an MBA. They also asked me the difference between a manager and a leader.
Q. Did you happen to panic at any given pint of time during the GD & PI? Any particular moment in which you wanted to go back and change or may perform better?
Yes, I panicked when they asked me why I wanted to pursue MBA. I panicked because my background is entirely different, I did BCA earlier and the faculty then suggested me to do MCA. My answer was that I want to do marketing further and that’s why I want to do MBA.

It was good. The panelists were supportive. This was my first GD & PI experience and all the panelists were from army background. I really liked the college.
