PI Preparation

CAT Personal Interview PreparationCAT Personal Interview will consist of a panel of judges asking questions to the candidate based on their profile and cross questioning them based on their answers. Improve confidence and improve your presentation skills. Candidates have to make sure that they appear confident in their answers. One way to improve confidence is to know what you are talking about. Candidates will mostly be asked questions about themselves, such as why did they choose their major and so on. So it is a question of how they will present their answers. Most of the candidates are asked to say something about yourself. This is one of the most basic questions and candidates must have an effective answer beforehand. The questions asked in the personal interview stage are largely unpredictable as the panel of judges will be different in every CAT Participating IIM, and they will vary year by year as well. Therefore, it is prudent for the candidate to be well read and aware of a large number of the latest occurrences in current affairs, politics, business, economy and so on. Candidates can also potentially be asked questions about politics. Therefore, if you feel you have a very polarising or controversial answer, present it in a palatable way. If candidates have work experience they will be asked about their experience with the previous employer. It is important to not speak of them negatively. Do not be flustered if asked a strange or abstract question.
