How was the interview experience at the SPJIMR PGDM course for information management?
For SPJIMR, there are two rounds of interviews. These are both group interviews, with the first one focusing on inquiries related to your chosen field of expertise and the second round focusing on your morals and values.
In my friend’s case, no questions about information management were asked, but there were times when inquiries about the Internet of Things, artificial intelligence, and other hot subjects in this industry were made. It is best to arrive prepared according to your chosen specialization and to have some knowledge of the other specializations, such as finance, operations, and marketing. Everyone in the group was required to express their opinion on a particular supply chain problem, regardless of the field they chose to study. There are no domain-specific questions in the second round.

What is the most difficult question in IIM Kozhikode?
There is no such thing as a single most crucial question in the PI of IIM Kozhikode, or any other B-school for that matter. Some things you must not compromise on our understanding of your topic of study and fundamental GK; you must know your profile like the back of your hand. The most essential thing is to keep your cool when you don't know the answer to a question or two; a lack of confidence will cost you far more than not knowing the answer to a question or two.

Will a gap year after graduation adversely affect my interview at XLRI Jamshedpur?
“Getting into your dream B-school is just stupid luck”, these words might sound like they are directed to scare you off but trust me, you will always find students who will tell you tales about how their interview went horribly wrong and still they made it into their dream college.
Scoring marks in your MBA entrance and getting into the right B-school are two different things. If you’re someone with a gap year, I’d personally suggest you stop looking for justifications for the gap years and, rather focus on the things that define you as a person and as an ideal candidate for that particular institution.
Times are different now, and your gap year will matter to a certain extent. If you’re asked for clarification, you could follow two paths; either start with the original story (a bit polished ) or start telling how the gap year affected you personally and your learnings.
In my experience, I have yet to come across anyone who has had trouble only because of their gap year. Again, it is somewhat subjective and will also depend on the number of years you were “idle”.
