hi

As im currently pursuing my final year in MBA im only too happy to share whatever little i know about interview questions.Now the success of ur interview mainly depends upon ur confidence and attitude.The way u tackle each questions.

 

Going to the objective in ur life question..what u should answer here is what u want to do or want to become in future..It should be precise.

For example my objective is to become the administrative head in finance.

What im trying to say is that it should be precise and u should be able to put it in very few words..The invigilator shouldnt get an idea that u r not clear about what u want in life.

Career goals five years from now can be to get into a co whch really entices u.

And ur weaknesses can be anything which u feel u can definitely improve upon.

Like for eg. my weakness was my absent mindedness which i have overcome to a great extent.

When there is a question like this u can alwaz add on to say how u will improve on that trait...which is very important.

 

Hope whatever i have said will help u in ur life.All the best and have a nice day!!

 

Regards

Rani

Hi all

MAT ki notification aa gayi kya....i heard the paper is on 11th
may.,.......

Any which way but lose! Sandipan Deb, Managing Editor of Outlook.
February 20, 2003



Some days ago, I happened to be standing on a Delhi railway platform at one
in the morning. The cold wave was at its fiercest and the chill bit to the
bone through all the many pieces of apparel I had swaddled myself in. But I
didn't have a choice; I was one among the many miserable people who had come
to receive a train that should have arrived at one in the afternoon.
We had had some friends over that night at home and the conversation had
turned to the question of emigration. Most of us felt no regret at not
having left India like so many of our collegemates. The usual reasons were
trotted out: we are Indians, this is our country, there we'll be
second-class citizens who would never be accepted unconditionally into the
mainstream, and so on. Then someone turned to me and said: "Yeah, but even
as a second-class citizen there, you wouldn't have to go at one o'clock at
night to the station to receive your aged aunt who's suffering from uterine
cancer and osteoporosis. She would have arrived at the scheduled time."
I was brooding about this, waiting for the train, when from a small cluster
of fellow-sufferers nearby, a sentence floated out: "Yaar, mujhe to lagta
hai India ka isbaar chance hai (I think India has a chance this time)."
Only the insane would ever think that the speaker was referring to anything
other than cricket. And only the insane would cheerfully discuss cricket
while freezing their butts off, through no fault of theirs, waiting for a
train that should have been here 12 hours ago. I sidled over to listen to
the discussion, maybe even to participate.
What is the reason for this strange thankless futile irrational time-wasting
passion that we as Indians nurture in our hearts, wear on our sleeves, are
casually willing to make enemies about? Why do we forget all our problems,
all the indignities that we suffer every day, the moment the talk turns to
cricket? Why do we invest so much of our time and energy on this game? Why
is it that, more than the prime minister, more than our soldiers, more than
anyone else, 11 young men in flannels have to carry the burden of national
honour?
Is it because we have nothing else but this? This game?
Among all the countries in the world, India has the highest number of the
impoverished and the penurious. Some 44 per cent of Indians exist by
spending less than Rs 50 a day. Over 80 per cent of our pregnant women
suffer from anaemia. Over half of our children under five are stunted due to
lack of nutrition. Seventy out of every thousand Indian children die before
completing their first year on earth. Another 25 die before they can turn
five. Over half of our girls are out of school.
Our roads rank among the worst on earth. Our electricity sector is a joke.
Our law and order system is collapsing, with all those who can afford it
barricading themselves behind high steel gates and private security guards.
We are heading towards a water crisis of epic proportions. Our judicial
system is too slow-moving for justice to trickle down to the less
advantaged. The interface between people and government is an endless cycle
of corruption, venality and inefficiency.
Only 36 per cent of our population has access to sanitary means of excreta
disposal. There are lakhs of Indians who subsist on our streets without even
the most basic rights to a human life or a dignified death. Thousands of our
citizens live as refugees in their own country, having lost their homes and
means of livelihood. Last month, in a poll conducted by The Hindustan Times
on the attitudes of Indian youth, more than 50 per cent of the respondents
said that given a chance, they would live in some other country.
But even when they do go away to some other country, they have the rediff
live cricket scorecard open surreptitiously on their computer monitors
throughout their working day. They stay up nights in the US to watch India
play in England. They participate in detailed analyses of the Indian team's
strengths and weaknesses in countless Internet chat rooms. And they turn out
in daunting numbers at the stadium whenever India's playing in their adopted
country.
The truth is that, even though we are loath to admit it, as Indians, we have
very little to be proud of. That is why, for example, we are not satisfied
with all that we can legitimately point to as our glorious heritage: our
ancient texts, our arts and architecture, our accomplishments in theoretical
science and mathematics. No, we have to overcompensate by pretending that we
had invented the aeroplane in the Ramayana Age and that nuclear weapons --
brahmastras -- were used in the Battle of Kurukshetra. (To invent the
aeroplane and nuclear weapons, our ancient scientists would have had to
develop, among many other things, certain advanced metallurgical processes
which would have had a far-reaching impact on the rest of society too, in
the way the ancient Indians built their homes, the appliances they used, the
vehicles they rode. It would have been a very different world from the one
that we have a fair idea about from our archaeological findings.) We go into
a national frenzy when an Indian film is nominated for the Oscars and are
left stunned with the sheer nonchalance with which John Travolta quenches
our billion hopes by opening a sealed envelope, casually reading out the
name of some other film and that's it, folks, it's over, it's like your
dreams never breathed.
This hunger for recognition from the world leads us to trumpet our supposed
superiority to everyone else at the drop of a hat, yet give the game away
with our penchant for affixing the term "internationally acclaimed" before
some achiever's name, also at the drop of a hat.
But we're no fools. We have figured out, I think unconsciously, that among
all forms of human activity, cricket is the one area where we actually can
be the best in the world. There are only nine major contenders for that
crown, so we have more than a fighting chance. And this is one game where
our sheer numbers give us a crucial advantage. No, the fact that India has
the highest population among all cricket-playing countries has no bearing on
our ability to bat, bowl and field better. But we do have more cricket fans
than any other nation, a much more intense passion for the game than any
other country and by multiplying these two factors, we end up spending far
more money on the game than anyone else. We pack the stadia, send television
ratings shooting through the ceiling, buy more motorcycles and soft drinks
and widgets than any other population on the planet just because our
cricketers tell us to. And we have these mammoth companies planning to ride
hell for leather on cricket's popularity. So we flex our muscles and leave
the white men whose forefathers thought up this grand game gnashing their
teeth.
In cricket, we are in a position to do what the United States of America
does in geopolitics. Just as the US prefers to measure its distances in
inches and its weights in ounces (because we are the US of A and the devil
take the hindmost), India can, theoretically, say that we believe an over
should have seven deliveries and all matches played on our soil will be
played according to this doctrine. (Of course, we are more subtle than that.
We just sign contracts (without bothering to consult the players, whose
interests are jeopardised in the contracts) and then turn around and say:
Sorry, we aren't going to abide by those contracts and if you have a problem
with that, go ahead, make my day.)
As a direct-though-paradoxical-corollary of cricket being our only chance to
have a crack at world domination (I'm getting this vision of Jagmohan
Dalmiya with a foot up on a chair, tapping a baton on the knee, and
surveying a large plastic globe as he plans his next blitzkrieg that will
subjugate vast populations who will be ordered by law to wear batting pads
to office and eat lunch with wicket-keeping gloves on), we Indians are not
the least bit interested in domestic cricket. No one except rookie sports
reporters goes to watch a Ranji Trophy match. We spend no quality time
discussing the extraordinary number of things that are wrong with our
cricket system and which directly impinge on our ability to produce players
of international class: the dead pitches, the pathetic money, the
wastefulness of our officials, the politics of the game's bureaucracy. We
don't care, we aren't interested.
All we want is 11 young men to appear by some magic, some process that we
can't bother ourselves with right now, thank you, we are still arguing about
who was a greater batsman, Gavaskar or Vishwanath. We want these 11
immaculately-conceived players to go out and beat the opposition, whatever
opposition, every damned time. When they win, we prostrate ourselves before
them, tattoo their faces on our breasts, name our children after them and
beat our wives up if they ask us to change the channel. Every time they
lose, we vilify them, condemn them, burn their effigies, and, given a
chance, would stone them to death. We do not want to know what their
problems are, why some teams could actually be much better than ours (and
this can hardly be our players' fault), why even the best team in the world
can lose a match once in a while, why playing cricket day in and day out
throughout the year can tire out the greatest athlete and blunt the most
extraordinary batsman's edge. We don't give a damn; we sent you out to come
back with the world in your pocket so we can all feel more virile and bask
in the glow of our pathetic, vicarious thrills. And we don't want no
excuses.
In the grimness of our everyday lives, in the general disenchantment with
our ruling class and our polity, in the creeping realisation -- in spite of
our averted eyes -- that we don't count for much in the world, this is one
area -- this one game -- which is not a short-seller's dream market.
Can we win the World Cup? On the day India played Australia, I was taking a
flight from Delhi to Bangalore. Four wickets fell while I was watching the
match at home, Kaif departed when I was in the cab on the way to the
airport. In the airport security lounge, I saw Tendulkar and Mongia go. We
boarded the plane, but the usual Indian Airlines "technical hitch" kept us
sitting on the tarmac for half an hour. I called up from my cellphone and
found that India was all out. By the time I reached Bangalore, the match was
over and long dead.
That night, for dinner, I met an old friend of mine, now an extremely senior
banker. After the ritual half-hour India-bashing (during which my colleague
in South Africa called up to depressedly inform me that as the Indian
spectators were leaving the stadium, the gloom was so heavy that the South
African guards and policemen were moved to pity, and consoled them: It
happens, don't get so upset, everyone has bad days, keep your chin up, etc),
we confessed guiltily to each other that both of us were the typical Indian
suckers who still believed that this team would suddenly rise like phoenix
and do something extraordinary. As far as cricket went, we, hard-nosed
banker and cynical journalist, both believed -- admittedly in a sheepish
sort of way -- in miracles.
In other words, Yaar, mujhe to lagta hai India ka isbaar chance hai.
Definitely. I mean, what the hell else do we have in this country but hope?


Rgds,

Nanda.

Hi guys!

The link that has about 80 Carnegie Mellon Univ case studies along with the
teaching notes on how to analyse the case is given below.

http://ba.gsia.cmu.edu/ethics/AA/mktmini.htm

suggest that you guys take time to download the cases and go through the same.
K, I and A are most likely to have case study based GDs. This will give a good
insight.
