Interview Experience
The entire online selection process went smoothly. It started with a one-on-one case study analysis, followed by a personal interview round. The case study topics provided a breather to the candidates as they were ranging from topics such as the impact of Covid on OTT Platforms to start-ups. The panel was very polite and understanding. Since I was already enrolled with IMS for my entire MBA entrance preparation, I didn't have to use any other source for my preparation. Their mock GDs were super helpful and provided me with great detail about my strengths and weaknesses.
