How must I prepare for the GD-PI rounds at XLRI Jamshedpur for the BM course?
The interview process at XLRI covers a wide range of topics and is designed to give the interviewers a comprehensive understanding of the candidate. During the interview, you may be asked questions about yourself, your past education, any work experience you may have, your family, hobbies, current affairs, and your views on various global issues.
It is important to prepare for the classic interview questions, but it is equally important not to memorize them verbatim. Instead, be prepared for any variations of the questions that may be asked. Some commonly asked questions include:
- Can you tell me something about yourself?
- Why do you want to pursue an MBA, and why have you chosen XLRI? Why have you chosen a particular stream such as marketing or finance?
- Can you tell me about a specific incident in your past and what you learned from it?
It is essential to be familiar with every point on your CV. It is perfectly acceptable to say "I don't know" to a technical question during an interview, but it is not ideal to not be able to answer a question about yourself or your CV.
During the interview, the panelists may ask you to speak about yourself and provide arguments for and against any current government scheme. They may also ask you to design an E-R diagram for an IT system for managing the admissions process of XLRI, and can also inquire about your hobbies and passion. It is crucial to be prepared for a wide range of questions and be able to express oneself effectively.
Which course is better - a diploma or NTTF?
NTTF is a better option as my brother secured a job offer, on-campus with a decent salary.
The diploma from NTTF is really superior to a regular diploma. Their curriculum is updated according to the industry trends and needs. You will be given proper exposure through seminars, internships, and industry visits.
The alumni base is also very large and has well-established connections. It also provides you with the college tag, which you can later use during your representation.
However, you must be more than an average student to succeed; otherwise, it will be difficult. Hard work and perseverance are extremely important for this. So, if you have that confidence in yourself, do opt for NTTF.
