Well , actually it took some prodding and determination as
well to come over here and post my GD/ PI experience at
SIMSR.
Venue:Presidency college , Kolkata (15 March)
9.00 AM
I reached at the venue by 8.00 am. There were few guys waiting
and I think ,I went pretty early.There was a guy from BIT,Mesra (BCA) , with whom I had a bit of chit-chat.Soon we were joined by a cool gal.She was also from BIT-Mesra and c was working for TCS. Later on , we shared a good rapport and also roamed around Kolkata University. To my horror, meanwhile I had dirtied my shirt. I had prespired a lot and was bit clumsy.
Anyway, Initially we were told to register and sign up. Yours truly did a remarkable job and signed infront of other's name and was soon called for second time in next 5 minutes. When I heard my name called second time, I knew , my day had started with a bang and I had it messed up.Anyway ,went smiling and signed again.
We were divided in 6 grps and AFAIR , it was 14 each in grp.There was a gal from my college in grp so It wasn't that bad .It was a case-study "Indian Saas bahu and soap operas " and we were told to give our POV as monologue and believe me ,this was the only best opportunity we had.Later on , it was a fish market, all over India clubbed into 1. Anyway , I still enjoyed the process.
Nyway coming back to PI, I was ninth in my GD panel for Intvw process and so had to wait for a couple of hrs approx. There was a mid-aged lady and a mid-aged sir (my guess wud be rofessors) .Sir was little fascinated about mathematics part and asked everyone certain maths questions. Some of the questions which I remember , courtesy 2 other students, Kremer's rule,nth root of diffnal eqns etc. Characters involved M (mam), S(sir) & yours truly (me) .
me: Gud mng sir ! Gud mng mam!
M: Gud mng! Take ur seat.
me: Thnk u mam !
M: Tell me sumthng abt u which is not written in profile ?
me: blah blah blah ( stress on family ,my upbringing ..etc etc)

sir.
M: Ok..Rahul..we are done with u ,but a piece of advice.Polish your shoes
