Met Sukesh bhai of IIM C interview (C wale ne tho 5-5 mins mein baga diya hume).

Firstly , IIM L candidates were asked to enter through different gate,
So, we checked our panels and were waiting outside.

Suddenly arnd 1:40 we decided to get our docs verified (doc verification is @ interview room) and went to a hall in the immediate floor.
We almost submitted our forms ovr thr, when a candidate said "Man this is IIM k's verification room "

Essay :
Topic: It is destiny and not hardwork which guarantee’s hardwork
Number of Ppl present:9 out of 10 (1 absent)
Time: 15 minutes
Brief Snapshot of the essay:
1. opened the para with a sanskrit shloka.
(
Door opens and a candidate enters (rachana)
Panel member : take ur seat ..... no hurry aram see....
)
2. Success - goals - reasonable targets - planning execution- ex: india's struggle for independence
3. Destiny - luck factor - charm - value add but not the core- ex: candidate trying to get into IIM L without giving CAT

Rating: 4
GD: Same topic
(
common common ..this time i should start ...3 min badh tho sabh jaag jayengee

)
For 5 seconds no body started & I started with the intro of the topic..
Gave an okkish frame work, the group was pretty cool , very nice examples ranging from tendulkar's 200 to 3 idiot's harman joshi.
At the end of 11 mins ..every1 were exhausted , one of our group member concluded ...and we all looked at the panel for that 4 letter word "STOP".

Panel member : u ppl still have a min ...if any wants 2 sy something go ahead .
(we looked at each other ....and then towards the panel, he understood the signal and finally the GD was over)

Many of us were smiling as we went out.
(Man ...... achaa hua usnee rook diya....mein tho iss bar sehwag ko gusanne valla tha ...)
I was the last member in the panel...(phir se )
the group was gd ..met vinay, rachana, ramya ...and a few others...
(

YP opens the door : Vinay .. do u want to come in ??
Vinay goes in and we chat....
we started discussing abt uttarakand ..telanganaa...lok sabha ..rajya sabha ..etc.
Then abt our Other IIM Interview experiences.
beech mein sukesh ka interview ho gaya ...so we were having a galla time ..sukesh :" yar meinne phir se Mayawati ko GD mein involve kar diiyya"
Time really flew @ speed of Light
