One of my friends had a great GD-PI experience at IBS Hyderabad. He recounted having 8-9 candidates in his GD session. Almost every individual was extraordinarily talented and spoke very boldly and did not shy away from sharing their views on the concerned topics.
After the GD round, the individuals were directed to their respective personal interviews. The interview was nothing extraordinary and he was asked about the most basic things.
He concluded by saying that anyone with the right mindset and skills can get into IBS. You should be confident enough and able to convey your thoughts. He also added that if anyone is opting for IBS, he should only go for the Mumbai or Hyderabad campus as the crowd is extremely moderate in other campuses.

Most MBA interviews usually start with your resume, so it becomes utterly important that you’re thorough with your resume and can speak at least 3-4 sentences about every keyword that is mentioned in your resume.
Get acquainted with all the recent happenings worldwide, especially things that align with your profile and interests. NMIMS is known for its case discussions during interviews.
The important thing to remember now is that they are not looking for exact answers because the case lets are usually management cases, and they don’t expect you to know that before actually completing your MBA, they are judging you on the basis of your approach toward the questions.
Ask important questions, tell them your assumptions, and it’s never a bad idea to think out loud. Tell them how you will approach a particular question and why you think it is the right way.
Because these institutes lack the resources to conduct their own selection process, all of the new IIMs use a Common Admission Process (CAP). If you have received calls from older IIMs, new IIMs will accept your scores from those institutes and you will not be required to take the CAP. Furthermore, there is no GD in CAP, only Written Ability Tests and Personal Interviews.
Many students who have taken the CAP exam say that the interviews are just like any other, except that the stakes are higher. The questions typically include an introduction, hobbies, questions about work experience and academics, and general knowledge questions in the case of freshers.
