Q. Am I at a disadvantage because I am a General Engineer Male (GEM)?
A. No. Once you get a call, what matters is who you are as a person and how you make yourself stand out.
Q. I am not from IIT. Will it poorly influence my selection?
A. The interviewers meet a lot of IITians and not all of them are selected. You should focus instead on your knowledge and how to best represent yourself.
Q. I have no extracurricular activities to talk about. What will I say?
A. As a matter of fact, you do. Even watching movies or playing online games counts, as long as you explore a theme and communicate it in a compelling manner.
Q. How do I connect what I am doing today with my future goals?
A. Know your industry and the market inside out. Connect dots from your industry choice to your future goals and communicate it confidently.
Q. As I had an engineering role, I don't have any sales experience. Will I be considered for MBA (Marketing)?
A. If you are willing to learn and practice, you will definitely be considered. Let this conviction reflect in your personality to be successful.
Q. I graduated in civil engineering but have worked in an IT firm since then. How do I justify my career goals?
A. Be honest about your move. What compelled you to make it? The reason could be that there were no good opportunities in your field or that you wanted to experience a whole new world altogether. Justify your decision and stand firm behind it.
Q. Do I stand a chance in the competition with numerous qualified engineers from top colleges?
A. You have as much of a chance as your competition. At this point, all that matters is who you are as a person and how you represent yourself.
Q. I am scared of mathematical questions. How can I best avoid them?
A. Be confident in your abilities. The reason you're here is because you've already aced the one of India's toughest aptitude exams!
Q. I do not have any work experience. Will companies shortlist me at the time of placements?
A. Focus on getting into an IIM first; the placements will come in their own sweet time. More than 50% students get a marketing role which doesn't require a work experience.
Q. I did not do well in my sales role. Will I be considered for MBA (Marketing)?
A. Absolutely! If you are willing to learn and practice, and reflect this conviction in your personality, you will definitely be considered.
Q. It has been years since I even looked at my books. How will I tackle technical questions?
A. Pick 3-4 subjects from your graduation. A basic knowledge of economics and higher math always helps.
Q. I did BSC Math but worked as a content writer in a startup. With no connection between my grads and work experience, how do I justify my next career move?
A. Be truthful. Whether you realised later that you did not want to make a career in Maths or there were no opportunities in your field and getting work experience was the need of the hour, be honest about why you made the move and stand firm behind your decision.
