What this book is about
What is a real IIM interview like? What kind of questions do they ask and what judgments do
applicants have to make while answering them?
Since 2003, those with real Group Discussion and Personal Interview calls from Indias top b-
schools have been posting entire and detailed transcripts of their admission interviews
immediately after they happen, so that others slotted for later interviews can learn what GDPI is
going to be like this year.
This book is a collection of dozens of handpicked GDPI experiences from the countrys top b-
schools during the admission years 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010. In this edition, we
have included over 180 GDPI experiences from the admission processes of IIM Ahmedabad, IIM
Bangalore, IIM Calcutta, IIM Indore, IIM Lucknow and IIM Kozhikode.
A team of 33 volunteers, who are themselves at some stage of the MBA admissions process, were
asked to make the selections based on what seemed most interesting and characteristic of a b-
school to them.
Who this book is for
Those with GDPI calls from b-schools included in this book will benefit from this work the most.
But the book will be an interesting read all the same for those who are planning to take a go at MBA
admissions in the next season and would like to know where the process of cracking a tough
entrance exam eventually leads to.
How to read this book
As the book is a collection of 150+ individual discussion forum posts stitched together. Expect a
huge variation in writing styles, shorthands and semantic flow. In order to retain the flavour of the
story the way they wanted to tell it, we have edited the stories minimally. Without the slang, the
occasional Hindi words or the typos, you will not enjoy the transcripts.
A visual guide to reading the experiences follows in the next few pages.
