siddhartharora : This is all decent, do not worry, nothing negative here, all boxes are ticked.

josh : HEY YESTERDAY I HAD MY OFFLINE SPJIMR INTERVIEW BUT I COULDN'T CLEAR ROUND 1 SO I'M NERVOUS HOW TO PREPARE FOR NEXT INTERVIEW. MY NEXT INTERVIEW IS ON 8FEB OF SIBM PUNE
ashwinvariyar : Be prepared with standard Qs like Why MBA? Why SIBM?, Introduce yourself? Be prepared with details regarding your work ex (if applicable). Also a decent grip on any 2 graduation based subjects will help. Most importantly relax. Your performance in one process does not dictate how you will perform in another process

ccca3a656 : SIR ARE BUSINESS ANALYTICS AND INFORMATION SYSTEMS SIMILAR.
siddhartharora : No, IT is more dealing with Software part as a whole and the complete strategy of the company related to using the applications, whereas BA is more about the numbers and patterns related to various fields and using software or IT to get meaningful application or a pattern from the same. This is broad definition, though most of the B School have similar courses for the two specializations.

shourya : NMIMS BENGALURU CORE OR NMIMS MUMBAI BUSINESS ANALYTICS?
amitpoddar : Business analytics from NMIMS Mumbai may have an edge in terms of the opportunities available in this domain.Plus the advantage of the Main campus.

dlcb3ag98 : HOW TO START WRITING SOP?
abhishek : Any SOP may include the following.1) Your basic intro. 2) Why MBA? 3)Why business school.

abhi : SHOULD WE TALK BOTH POSITIVE AND NEGATIVES OF EXTEMPORE TOPIC

ashwinvariyar : Be prepared with standard Qs like Why MBA? Why IMT?, Introduce yourself? Be prepared with details regarding your work ex (if applicable). Also a decent grip on any 2 graduation based subjects will help.

student : WHAT CAN I SAY WHEN THEY ASK WHY MBA? SHOULDNT U GET MORE EXP AND STUDY
amitpoddar : Just try to connect the dots of your past and present experience with the future goals. We go for higher education as per our specific situations. you can be honest and talk of your current options and why you need an MBA to upgrade your knowledge and skills to perform the roles you would like to play in the corporate world in the short run and the long run. Connect MBA and its learnings to your goals, interest and opportunities.

BUT MY GRADUATION MARKS ARE A BIT LOW COMPARATIVELY AS I WAS PURSUING CA AT THE TIME AND I COULDN'T MANAGE BOTH OF THEM TOGETHER. I AM A BCOM STUDENT (FRESHER) PLANNING TO PURSUE MBA IN FINANCE. HOW DO I JUSTIFY MY LOW GRADUATION MARKS IF I AM ASKED ABOUT IT IN THE INTERVIEW?
siddhartharora : What is your result for your CA preparation, as that will be major point here and no harm in telling the truth, as everybody knows CA needs lot of preparation.

hocc3yh25 : ARE THERE ANY REVIEWS ON NMIMS INTERVIEWS SO FAR?
ashwinvariyar : General advice: Do not read too much into any reviews of interviews. A lot of factors combine to decide a specific line of questioning to a candidate. That same situation may not be applicable to you

dlca3ax33 : WHAT ARE THE THINGS WE NEED TO FOCUS ON FOR CAP PI PROCESS. ALSO, IN CASE WE ARE A BIT NERVOUS IN STARTING OF PI, WILL THAT AFFECT MY SELECTION ?

avis : OOK BUT I AM ASKING THAT 3 YEARS GAP AFTER 12TH AND 1 YEAR NOW …. CAN IT NEGATIVELY IMPACT MY ADMISSION OR PLACEMENT LATER ON?
amitpoddar : Not much, just try to explain the gap years, when asked. In fact the gap years show that you are not the one who would settle for less and give a fight to get to your goals. This shows your grit, perseverence and conviction, I suppose.

ppp : IN THE ONLINE INTERVIEW DO WE HAVE TO SHARE SCREEN TO SHOW THE DOCUMENTS?
ashwinvariyar : Generally that does not happen. But they may ask you to.

vs : I DID NOT CLEAR MY CA BUT I AM PLANNING TO PURSUE MBA IN FINANCE. WILL IT AFFECT MY CHANCES OF SELECTION?IF SO, CAN I DO SOMETHING DIFFERENTLY TO INCREASE MY CHANCES OF SELECTION?

amitpoddar : An MBA after MBBS would help you enhance your skills beyond the clinical skills. It is the best of both worlds. This is your chance to develop your skills beyond clinical mastery.

siddhartharora : directly speak up.

vs : FOR MY INTERVIEW, ATTESTED DOCUMENTS ARE REQUIRED TO BE SUBMITTED. MY ORIGINAL DOCUMENTS ARE WITH MY GRADUATION COLLEGE. SO SHOULD THE PHOTO COPY DOCUMENTS BE ATTESTED BY THE COLLEGE OR BY SELF?
