GD Experience 1:

For MDI, my GD topic was “Is theoretical knowledge sufficient for managers today?”

I took part in a lot of interviews to prepare for the second stage. I had around 4-5 friends who were preparing along with me. All of us were shortlisted in different institutes. We would sit together and discuss a lot of different topics to expand our knowledge and form opinions. After the GD, we would ask each other for tips to improve on our shortcomings. GDs are basically of two types, abstract and real. It is necessary to practice both types of Group Discussions because the thinking and structuring process is different for both types. To improve at Group Discussions, it is important to read as much news as possible during the second stage preparation process. It is also important to practice speaking in a crisp and clear manner.

GD Experience 2:

For JBIMS, we had to discuss strategies for a Chinese soft drinks manufacturer to enter the Indian market

I was shortlisted by many top Colleges like SPJAIN-Fin, new IIMs, MDI, NMIMS, JBIMS. JBIMS Mumbai did not take part in DTE CAP then and conducted its own admission process. To prepare for GD, I had around 4-5 friends who were preparing along with me. All of us were shortlisted in different institutes. We would sit together and discuss a lot of different topics to expand our knowledge and form opinions. After the GD, we would ask each other for tips to improve on our shortcomings.

Ketan Anand

Ketan Anand belongs to Ambala. He has studied at P.K.R. Jain Sr. Sec. Public School and scored 80.72% in class 12. He took admission in B.CoM in Kurukshetra University, and obtained 64.66%. Ketan was working with his father in the family business, which built his interest towards the business world. This inspired him to pursue MBA and prompted him to prepare and appear in the MAT and CAT exams. Ketan wants to achieve good position in Corporate after completing his management education.

In fact MAT requires you to apply separately to each B-school but I did not apply to any B-school on the basis of my MAT score. I got into LBSIM on the basis of my CAT score.
