How to crack Personal interview (PI).

The most tricky and difficult round that students face before getting admission into top business college is the ‘Personal Interview’ round. We can say that it is the most significant and last key component for selection process by the top B- college. A personal interview is aimed at knowing a candidate more intimately - assessing the clarity of thinking process, future goals and the 'fit' with the B-school. It provides the admission committee of a b-school to evaluate students interpersonal and soft skills. Interview discussions generally involve questions on personal goals, work experience, academics, hobbies and current affairs. During the interview, having clarity of thoughts is far more important than answering these questions. So striking a good balance among the various areas should be the objective of one’s interview preparation. Knowing yourself is the most important part of interview preparation. It is not acceptable if a candidate cannot answer questions based on his/her own personality. It would give an impression of an immature or “self – unaware” person. A candidate hence needs to do a lot of soul searching on questions like: “Why you want to do this course? Strengths and Weaknesses, long term/ short term goals. If a person is working for more than six months then questions on work experience will play a role during interview. The obvious areas of questioning are work profile, projects, organization chart of company and where a person fit in. One should be able to give some examples of team work and leadership from employment. Also if a person is working for less than 2 years then he or / she is still supposed to remember some aspects of their education. One need not to study everything, but should know the basics of all the subjects that they have studied. A good barometer would be curriculum till higher secondary. Ideally, having hobbies can really make interviews quite interesting as they can clearly make a distinction between you and the rest. Not having a hobby is certainly negative; but worse is getting grilled for a cited hobby when you do not have one. General Knowledge can be a really vast topic. Common knowledge like the capital of some countries should be known. On a whole one needs to be systematic regarding their preparation, make a check list of what they do not know and work with it. If one is organized, he or she will definitely perform well in their interview.

Questions to be asked during Interview.

When preparing for the MBA admissions interview, business school applicants often focus on preparing responses to a list of questions they expect from the interviewer, including the unexpected curve balls. However, in many cases, the questions that the MBA candidate asks—typically toward the end of the interview—are equally important and can often be the difference makers that lead to an acceptance letter.  It's a chance for candidates show that, they have made the effort to dig a little deeper, that they care and have a genuine interest in the program and faculty research.

Many B-Schools encourage students to develop a natural relationship with faculty. Therefore, when a  candidate asks about the facilities such as the library, student center, and academic buildings, it leaves a good impression before the interviewers. It provided insight into what the candidate was thinking and what is important to him or her about an MBA education. The key to the questions is quality, not quantity; here are five questions that every candidate should ask:

1. Ask a question based on something you read in a brochure or on the school website

2. Ask the interviewer why he or she decided to become part of the respective school

3. Ask the interviewer about the school or program's greatest asset

4. Ask how the interviewer would describe the school

5. Ask the interviewer what advice he or she would offer

Importance of internship and placement

MBA College

With many students and graduates about to start their summer internships, it’s very important to first understand the difference between internship and placement. The term "internship" is usually used by city firms such as accountants, investment banks and management consultancies. An "internship" usually last from a week to 12 weeks and may involve some travel. "Internships" are usually offered to students and graduates outside of university term time (placements are usually held during university term time). "Internships" are usually focused on learning almost as much as working. The term "placement" is usually used to refer to long or extended periods of internship held by students during a degree course that has been specifically designed to accommodate a specific time period "in industry". Degree courses with a vocational element are becoming increasingly popular and consequently more and more employers are now offering "placements", including accountancy firms. Both placements and internships are great features for one’s curriculum vitae. In fact, any experience of working within an organization in the industry a person wish to work in is incredibly worthwhile and is a great indicator that he/she has career motivation and strong commercial awareness. 

The important thing about work placements is that they provide an opportunity to get to grips with working - meeting deadlines and working in a team. While a placement may enhance one’s knowledge and help with course, it can also help to find out more about a job or industry, leading to more informed decisions upon graduation. Work placements and internships give the opportunity to develop relevant skills, knowledge and experience while getting firsthand experience of life in a real working environment.

The knowledge base must be so ingrained and integrated into their being that they become transparent, focusing on the employee and what s/he needs to learn, versus focusing on the knowledge base. The excellent manager lives from a knowledge base, without having to draw attention to it. Another important managerial skill is that of commitment. Manager of any particular organization should be committed to the success of the project and of all team members. He or she should hold the vision for the collective team and help the team to reach closer to the end result. It's the manager's commitment that pulls the team forward during trying times. Effective communication also plays an important role in the path of becoming a smart manager. Clear, concise and open communication is of fundamental importance in building relationships, conveying information, changing behavior and interacting with others. Flexibility and versatility are valuable quality of a manager. 

 It is an ability to be both non-reactive and not attached to how things have to be. Versatility implies openness - this openness allows the leader to quickly change on a dime when necessary. Flexibility and versatility are the pathways to speedy responsiveness. Also excellent managers see the big picture concurrent with managing the details. Small actions lead to the big picture: the excellent manager is skilful at doing both, think big while also paying attention to the details.
