Sanju Naik, a student of MBA (2023-Batch) shared his experience of GE & PI at SIBM Nagpur

In his words: “After meeting the SNAP cut-off, I got a call regarding the GE-PIWAT process. In-person interviews, a group discussion, and a written exam will all be held. Preparing: Group Discussion (GD): I researched common GD topics for MBA candidates. These could be ethical dilemmas, commercial settings, or current affairs. I focused on thinking clearly and paying close attention to what other people were saying. It was really helpful to participate in online or in-person simulated group discussions. Written Ability Test (WAT): The WAT often asks you to compose an essay on a certain topic in a set period of time. I tried to write essays that were factual, brief and backed up by reliable information. Individual Interview (PI): I readied myself for common questions that I would be asked at an MBA interview, such as "Why MBA?" and "Tell me about your strengths and weaknesses.”  To know more detailed review, Click Here
