What kind of interview questions can we expect from LBSIM for PGDM finance?

One of my friends applied for PGDM Finance at LBSIM last year and was shortlisted for the interview round. Here are the questions that he had to answer during his interview. There was a year gap after his graduation, so they asked what he did in that time period. He explained that he was self-employed. After the brief introduction, the following questions were asked. How will you explain balance sheet to students? Tell us something about Gearing ratio. Share your views about direct and indirect expenses. Tell us about Lawrence Curve. Tell us about Debt equity ratio. To his surprise, he wasn’t asked the general questions like Why MBA? Strength and weakness, etc. Overall his experience was good and he was able to convert the call.

LBSIM, is a great college if you exclude its hostel services

The fees are said to hike for the 2023 academic year I haven't availed of any scholarships so I'm not sure of scholarships, but there are scholarships available. It is very easy to avail of education loans, and LBSIM is eligible for the scholar loan scheme in SBI.
