iim-c gd-pi experience-- another big one

this i posted at pagalguy after my iim-c interview... just to tell you beofre the iim-c interview i thought this was my most precious call and i wld prefer goin to iim-c over anything... anywayz still confused where i wld end up at iim-a or iim-c... now the interview follows

hii guyz... just back from interview at IIM-C campus..
profile : engineer (fresher)
cat perc: 99.85

batch of 10 guyz.....
gd topic : for sustainable growth india should focus on manufacturing... i started for the first time in my life... started well.. chipped in with few other points later..... overall little above average performance... we were asked to summarise later for a minute... dint summarise too well though...

interview i was last but guyz please if possible make changes however u can but dont give ur interview last... its not good i believe... so i told them tat i hav to leave for delhi(though my train was at nite) so if they cld take my interview a bit earlier.. they said dont worry we wld finish it by 1 for everyone... so i said ok. I was relaxin in lounge when ths panel called me at 4th spot for an interview tat as they felt tat they were runnin late on schedule... was kinda surprised


3 prof p1, p2 and p3 and me m

p2: take a seat
m: thank u
p2: why all of u are wearin tie...
m: it looks good ( and i just stopped ther dint even say sir its formal occasion)
p2:but none of us are wearing... coachin???
m: yes from erudite
p2: why?
m: gav e avague explanation(never expected this kinda start)
p1: tat means those who do coachin only clears...
m: i dint mean that... but it helps in motivation as environment is very competitive... anywayz thanks sir for callin me early( i will never miss an opportunity to flatter and it does work.....
p3:oh thank you .. u r an engineer.... what all u studied
m: told....( again just told for a minute or so.)
p3: explain gsm...
m: told..(and i bet he dint knwo anythin abt that)
p2: u conduct ur intevriew
m: i mean... what..( though i m answerin evrythin but things are goin too easy.. i felt so thot time to sell if i get a chance or curtains for me)
p2: try conductin ur interview...
m: like tell us abt urself...
p2: yes... tats how u guyz are coached...
m: i started ... and told few lines( but only fluency is there and i m unable to guide them anywhere)
p2: what is derivatives?( my hobby stock market)
m: explain
p2: ask few more questions on derivatives...
p2: who is sonu nigam...
m: (what!!!!!)singer.. indian music. etc
p2: ok.. what do u think abt indian idol...
m:(are we havin some gossip...) it was good but dint like the concept abt selectin and rejectin last 10 canditates...
p2: what are the consequences on indian idol...
( what should i say)m: told few lines ou tof nowhere...
p2: u havnt written much in form... what do u do in fre time...
m: read books on stock market... and play badminton which i mentioned in my form as i got some prize...
p2: anythin in hindi literature... etc...
m: no sir..
p1: what course on mathematics...
m: told him abt statistics.. probability..
p1: what is conditional probabilty
m: (are u kiddin)simple...
p1: what is differnce between matrix and determinant...
m: told difference abt applications...
p1: give a example:
m: determinant in solvin linear euations and matrices in competer programmin in 3d graphics etc
p2: my prob of solvin a problem is 1/2 and my friends is 2/3 ... what is the probability we could solve the problem...
m: ( ok i know u forgot tat i m an engineer.... )simple..... but took the long way instead of simply subtractin not siolvin probabilty from 1
p2: whats the answer...m:(still u think i cant find that) 5/6
p1: ok very basic question... we say that a number is divisible by 3 if sum of its digit are divisible by 3... can u prove that...
m: (now some standard question finally)can i think..
.p2: yeah sure write and do it...
m: cld find the prove in 10 seconds and explain them .. basically took an example of xyz=100x + 10y + z.. now if we divide rhs terms individually by 3 we get individual rememnder as x.v and z so if a number has to be divisible by 3.. it must be divisible by sum of x, y and z... and same goes for any 4 digit or big digit numbers,,,
p2: convinced and added yeah basically u r tellin xyz = 99x + x + 9y +y +z
m: yes sir
p1: do u remmebeer 0 and 1 problem in atm paper yesterday..
m:(it was really conceptual probs.. now u r talkin in iim-c language) yes.. got the answer
p1: by guess ???
m: no sir... solved that...(u still think i dont know maths.. lolz)
p1: explain...
m: explained...
p1: convinced..
p1: ok chek ur certificates and u may leave...
m: cheked and left...
p1, p2 and p3: thank you
m: thank you sirs
