Welingkar GDPI Experiences:

1. R. Samyuktha - PGDM in Healthcare Management 2019-2021 CATKing GDPI Courses with SP Jain, NMIMS Alumni Welingkar Institute was the last stop in my journey of the B-school admission process. So, I was well prepared for the GDPI and had some prior experience so I wasn’t nervous and was well relaxed during the entire process. I liked the look and ambiance the Mumbai campus had as soon I stepped in and was well guided by the student volunteers and professors. We had a brief meeting with the college professors and current students on the courses offered and the kind of facilities the college had. We were also given a chance to ask questions. Once the introduction was over, we were allotted the group discussion rooms and were made to wait for our turn. My group had 10 members. We were called in and the topic given to us was the “pros and cons of blockchain technology”. We were given a notepad and pen and 5 minutes to jot down our thoughts on the topic. The discussion began on time and I took the stance of it being advantageous and posed my points in that direction. The discussion was very professional and I did not have any unpleasant experience in the GD room. Everyone was given a chance to contribute their points. Once the GD was wrapped up, we were asked to wait for the PI session. One by one, the members of my group were called in for the interview. Apply NOW Personal Interview Finally, it was my turn. I was interviewed by two panelists. I was asked to introduce myself, and also to talk about my work experience. They also questioned me on the program choices I had opted for in the application form, especially on why the healthcare program. The panelists were friendly and listened to my answers and asked certain clarifying questions from my response. They then moved on to some technical questions, and since I had some interest in stock market technical analysis, they asked me to explain certain analysis methods. The conversation then went on to my hobbies and since my hobby was reading, they questioned me on my favorite authors and books.

I liked the PI process because I was able to talk about my areas of interests and hence the questions did not make me feel uncomfortable. After waiting anxiously for the results, I was thrilled to know that I was selected for the Healthcare management course in the Mumbai campus. I was excited to embark on a new journey in a relatively new industry and so far the journey has been nothing but eventful and full of new experiences.

2. Reshma Xavier PGDM 2018-20 Like every other candidate even I was aspiring to do an MBA. And it was a dream to do MBA from a reputed institute like Welingkar. So along with the entrance exam preparations, I had also started attending seminar, which was conducted in Welingkar that would explain about how to go about and prepare for the interview, and the interesting  part was that the students themselves was guiding us. After the CET results, I had got a call from Welingkar for the GDPI round. I couldn’t control my happiness as I had got a call from the college that I really wanted, but then it was time to perform in both GD and PI to achieve this milestone. For the preparation of Group Discussion, below ae the few tips I had followed:

• Read the newspaper daily like Economic Times, Mint, Business Standard etc. 
• Practice GD with your friends
• Watch news, at least headlines, so that you may get to know if you missed anything
• Contact seniors from the institute to guide you on the possible topics
• Search online for the topics and the important points that need to be highlighted

So it was my turn for the GD. The topic given to me was “ Will the upcoming of automation create jobs or reduce jobs “. The GD went quite well as everyone had a fair chance to speak and a lot of good points came up as well.  After the GD there was no elimination round so we were directed to the Personal Interview (PI) round. For the preparation of Personal Interview, below ae the few tips I had followed:

• Firstly, know yourself well. By this I mean if you have a work experience, think about the way you are going to portray it. Go through the projects that you have worked on. If you don’t have work experience nothing to worry about, revise your final year project. Be clear with the concepts that you have learnt in your Graduation.
• Study about the courses that they are offering 
• Basics of MBA and its stream like Marketing, Finance, HR, Operations
• Why do you want to do MBA – This is a sure shot Question

Personal Interview So in my PI all the above questions were asked and additionally there were some more questions like

• How many books have you read ?
• Welingkar offers you multiple streams to do an MBA, which you can select based on your priority, so I was asked why did you choose these streams.

So after all these questions my PI concluded, and I was told that they would let me know the results. As there were many applicants, even my heart started pounding with the stress that whether I’ll get through or not.  Then after two weeks I got a mail stating that you are selected, you may come and take admission. I was so happy with that mail, I was just waiting for the next day to arrive to take the admission. When the day came, I went and took the admission. So this was my journey to Welingkar. Hope you could learn something from my experience. All the Best !!!

3. Uttkarsh Ashar | PGDM Media and Entertainment (19-21) Group Discussion Stage Topic | Is GST beneficial for the Indian Economy ? Duration | Approximately 2-3 minutes to gather your thoughts and write them down in the notepad provided then another 10-15 minutes for discussion. ➔ Focus on adding relevant points to the discussion (in a non-aggressive manner) and making sure the group isn't stuck on any one point/argument but rather there is an exchange of opinions. The idea is to reach a group consensus with everyone having made valuable inputs to the finally agreed upon viewpoint. ➔ While points discussed may be both supporting or opposing the topic; the panelists encourage the group to sum up the discussion and agree on a few final concluding points either for or against the topic (ONLY ONE). ➔ So if the group is in disagreement in the end that's a negative. The majority has to try and convince the others. ➔ Adding to the discussion, being civil to your fellow participants and moving the discussion forward (TIP : Take the initiative to summarise everyone's points and structure them properly for the conclusion) will all help you stand out. Personal Interview Having worked in the Advertising industry for about 2 years, the majority of my interview was CV centric and involved discussing projects I worked on while in office. Q1.Tell us about your journey until now and why you are the right candidate to pursue PGDM at Welingkar Institute. ➔ I completed my schooling from St.Joseph’s High School which is closeby in Wadala and then went on to pursue Junior College as well as my undergraduate studies at R.A.Podar College which is also a part of the esteemed S.P.Mandali Group. Like most of the commerce students, I too gave an attempt at cracking the Chartered Accountancy exams and came quite close to cracking the first level but then decided against pursuing it. During my final year of undergraduate studies, I applied for a Copywriting internship at a leading advertising agency - Leo Burnett. Interesting enough, they picked me as an intern but for the Brand Strategy Team and not the Copywriting team. Soon after my graduation results, I started working with them full-time and did so for about 2 years. Eventually, I realized that it was time to expand my knowledge by formally pursuing Management Education and equip myself with the right skills for the next chapter of my professional journey Q.2. Give us a brief understanding of what your profile entailed at Leo Burnett. ➔ I was a part of the Experiential Marketing division at Leo Burnett and started off as a Brand Consultant on a contractual basis and eventually became a full-time Brand Associate in the Strategy vertical. My core job revolved around understanding what would work for a brand in the Events and Activation space and create a holistic strategy by understanding the market, consumer, insights and current industry trends. Q.3. Can you give us an example of a project that you worked on that you are really proud of? ➔ To be honest, I am proud of everything I did during my time at Leo Burnett. Due to the vast expanse of the Publicis Network, I was lucky enough to work on client pitches for a variety of brands across industries with special emphasis on Automotive and Technology. Being an automobile and technology enthusiast since childhood, Leo Burnett was the perfect platform for me to leverage my curiosity in these industries and conceptualize relevant Experiential Plans for the agency’s clients. Q.4. Technology brands sound interesting to work on. Is there a specific project that you would like to talk about in that domain? ➔ There was a pitch that we were working on for a leading Global Ecommerce retailer (cannot mention the brand to maintain confidentiality) which was looking to expand its footprint across Tier 2 and 3 towns in India after successfully launching the brand in Metros and Tier 1 cities. We worked extensively with one of the most renowned research agencies in India to understand where the answer lies to this problem statement. Over the course of a few days, we understood that there is a popular ticketing agency/ cyber cafe setup that holds a lot of trust and has high presence in the target market. The final strategy was based on partnering with this store to open temporary pop-up shops for the Ecommerce brand and drive familiarity among the target audience. By leveraging the trust among the consumers for the popular ticketing agency, we aimed to instill a sense of trust for the Ecommerce brand as well. Even though this project was not implemented across the nation, it was a great success in the areas where it was implemented and was a great learning experience for me as a strategist. The panelists then conversed with me to know about the background of my family members and how they have influenced my decision to pursue further studies. Post this, the interview ended and the panelists wished me luck for the selection process Key pointers that one should remember (which worked in my favour): 1. Be well-groomed and well prepared for the interview. (Obvious but still mentioning it) 2. During the interview, be cheerful and attempt to maintain eye-contact. 3. Think of an interview as a conversation which will culminate based on your own answers. 4. If you do not know the answer to a certain question, just say you don’t rather than pretending to know. 5. Be honest at all times. (Trust me, the panelists will figure it out in a second if one is bluffing)

4. Reshma Xavier- PGDM(2018-2020) A journey to Infosys…… Getting placed from a B-school is what every MBA student looks forward to, and I was one of them. After getting into Welingkar, my next aim was to grab a campus placement from the Institute. The road to this destination was not that easy as there were many candidates in the same Institute who has equal and even more potential than you. So it was clear that hard work is the only way through. So while I was in my 1st year itself I got in touch with my Seniors for resume corrections and some tips that I need to follow to crack the interview. So when I joined back the Institute after my Internship as a 2nd-year student, my resume was almost set. I just needed to modify it according to the requirements. Some tips for resume building:

5. Aarya Gupta PGDM EBIZ (2020- 22) Because of Covid-19, my interview was conducted online through Zoom meetings. The meeting link was shared with us a day before and I had an afternoon slot. I remember there were two-panel members. Both were the faculties of WeSchool.  After testing the audio, the GDPI process started. Since it was an online GDPI, I had an extempore at the place of group discussion. The topic was given to me and I had to speak about it for 5 minutes.  Before starting extempore, they briefed me about the whole process. Panel 1: You have to speak about the importance of leadership skills and your time starts now. Me: By giving examples of good leaders like Ratan Tata and Narendra Modi, I spoke for 4 minutes.  Panel 1: Would you like to add something or conclude it, you still have 1 minute. Me: I gave a short conclusion. Interview Round: Panel 1: What is the best innovation of all time? Me: Internet Panel 2: Give me a few examples of the latest service or product which has changed our lives drastically? Me: Ola and Uber, e-learning platforms (I know I could have given many examples, but I was a little nervous) Panel 2: You have written about CRM in your response sheet, tell us it’s importance. Me: Ma’am, I know a little about it, but I think it is highly important to maintain a good relationship with your consumers. Not just to get new customers but also to develop a good relationship with the existing customer. Today every business is adopting this technology to enhance their business. It helps in identifying sales opportunities and maintaining a good relationship with consumers with the help of email marketing, sales calls, etc. Panel 2:  Why PGDM from WeSchool? Me: I always wanted to pursue my MBA from a good college and getting into a good college is highly difficult these days. Currently, WeSchool is my first choice on the basis of what I have scored in the entrance exam. It has good faculty members and I talked to a few seniors and they gave me a good review of it as well.  Panel 1: Why Ebiz? Me: Although it is not my choice, this pandemic has shown us its importance. Today almost every business has its online presence. E-business has a huge potential in the future as well, this is why I have opted for it.  Panel 1: What are your hobbies? Me: sir, I like reading novels, Khaled Hosseini is one of my favorite authors. I also play guitar and sing, although I am not trained, I try to sing. Due to this lockdown, a few new hobbies have become part of my life like cooking and painting. Panel 1: That is nice, do you have any questions you would like to ask from us? Me: Sir, as this interview has been conducted through Zoom, I have a small question. There is a lot more controversy about Zoom meetings, as it is trending today that it is not safe to use zoom for meetings. This application is not just being used for e-learning but also by politicians, what do you think, whether we should continue to use it or boycott it? Panel 1: Yes, I have also heard that news. I would say, it’s like a knife. You just have to be careful with it. That’s it.  Me: Thank You, sir, Thank you, ma’am.  Panel 1: Thank you, God bless you. Panel 2: Thank you.

6. GD EXPERIENCE: GD Topic: 'Is Mars mission justifiable for a country like India?' Date: 9th February 2019 I think like most of the MBA aspirants, I felt the jitters before entering the GD room too.  But the good news is student volunteers and professors made me very comfortable with their approachable attitude. The process was very smooth and well-coordinated.   My GD-PI process started with registration followed by verification of all the documents and a presentation to orient the students about We School and different programs. They divided us into different groups for the GD-PI process. The panelists seemed friendly. They provided us with batch numbers for the GD session and the marks were allotted by the panelists for the respective batch number. The Group Discussion started with a bell and the allotted 3-5 mins to prepare for the topic. The GD session went for approximately 20 minutes. Fortunately, my session went well. It wasn't very aggressive and chaotic. This did boost my confidence for the next round, which was the personal interview round. Personal Interview Experience: The student volunteers asked us to be ready for the PI process as soon as our GD session was over. They provided PI room details to every student along with some refreshments. My panelists were two elderly gentlemen who made me feel at ease within minutes with a normal conversation about my process so far. The PI round went for approximately 40 minutes. Here are some questions from my PI process:

1. Hi, tell us something about yourself
2. Explain to us about your work experience
3. What challenges did you face at your workplace? How did you overcome these challenges?
4. Why do you want to pursue an MBA?
5. I see you have applied for three programs at We School. What was the thought behind applying to these programs?
6. I see you have applied for the Business Design Program. Can you share something about the design thinking approach? If you see this approach has been deployed to design We School's Campus. What are your observations about the same?
7. Share something about your favorite book or any books you have read so far.
8. What is your greatest achievement?
9. What are your hobbies?
10. Do you have any questions for us?

Key takeaway:

1. PI round would be based on your CV
2. Be prepared with some points to justify the course you are planning to pursue at We School
3. Be honest about your skills and work. They would appreciate it.
4. Smile and be confident

7. Eva Maheshwari PGDM, E-business(2020-22) With the coronavirus wreaking havoc across the world, while we stay safe at our homes with schools and colleges shut, there is a mad dash to compensate for the lost time by introducing various models of online learning and conducting admissions through the online process. With the lack of availability of traditional means of college admissions, students, just like me, were frantic about admissions looking for a silver lining during such catastrophic times. However, the online mode of admissions came to our rescue. I had gone through a similar admission process here in WeSchool. Everything went off without a hitch. I remember calling and sending emails time and again whenever I had any issue regarding my application and they sorted it out. For my every query, the college administration was prompt and helpful. My GDPI was scheduled for the morning shift. I received the link a few minutes prior to the reporting time. I was nervous as it was going to be my very first interview at an online platform. The process started at the right time. The panel had two college faculties. They briefed me about the whole procedure. It was going to be a two-fold process. The first phase was an extempore in which I had to speak on the given topic for five minutes followed by the PI part in which I was asked some general questions about my course preferences and how the current business situation is affected by the Coronavirus crisis and a few more. This two-way interaction went on seamlessly for approximately half an hour. Personally, I had a wonderful experience with the mode, mostly because both the interviewer was pretty cordial. The entire session was so hassle-free, with no waiting in queues for the panel called, unlike the conventional way. We did not have to travel all the way to some other city and get interviewed in unfamiliar surroundings. Sitting in front of a camera-enabled screen, on your couch in the formal attire, at your own home, was all it took to make me a part of this eminent institution.

8. Sheetal Sippy  PGDM Healthcare (2019-2021)  Group Discussion & Personal Interview Round After the conundrum of entrance tests, being called for a GD-PI round by an institution of your choice is exciting but a nerve-racking process. I had received a GD-PI call from Welingkar Institute of Management, Research & Development in phase 1 of their process and as the Healthcare program of this institute was at the top of my preference list, I wanted to give it my best shot. On the D day, the Group Discussion commenced with a set of ground rules by two very approachable panelists. The topic provided to my group was, “Indian Banking Sector.” They informed us in advance about our time limits and emphasized maintaining decorum during the discussion. Around 8 students were a part of 1 panel and the set of rules laid down earlier led to a very healthy discussion where students got ample time to put forth their views. Post this round I was called in for an interview which comprised of 2 male panelists. As soon as I entered they were able anxiety took over me as it was a big deal for me to be a part of this particular program. The panelists made me feel comfortable and gave me a few minutes to settle in. The interview kicked off with a round of general questions about myself, my academic journey, work experience, and my interest in healthcare and extracurricular activities. This was followed by questions related to government insurance schemes and their pros and cons. I was able to express my understanding of the Ayushman Bharat (Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojna) Scheme and lay down its benefits to the Indian Healthcare System. Following this, I was asked about the loopholes present in the scheme wherein I was given the chance to elaborate on my views. I was told that I have an interesting take on the matter and I was given ample time to express why I would like to align myself with the program. Overall, the college had a very positive vibe and student volunteers were present to guide us at every step. The process was very smooth and there wasn’t a single moment where I felt lost or overwhelmed because of lack of communication. Kudos to the entire management committee of WeSchool for being welcoming to MBA aspirants and making them feel at ease during such stressful situations.

Tell me something about yourself, Santosh? A- I am a pharmacist by degree, graduated in 2016. During my college, I was a part of the Placement Committee, participated in District level CSR activities, and won a few prizes for Intercollege dance competitions. Got campus placed as a Clinical Data Manager in TCS and worked there for 15 months. Later, I got into management related roles, got the opportunity to Work for 3 months as a Project Co-ordinator for A Vodafone Sponsored NGO. After which I joined CATKing Educare which is also my current company, its a coaching institute, I started as a Business Development Executive, moved onto HR roles later and last year contributed to 20% of the Companies Revenue and got promoted to Head of Operations Role. Also, I've been working with NGO AIESEC for the past couple of years. Q3. What is AIESEC? What did you do there? It's the world's largest Youth Based NGO Sir. Its presence is in 126 different countries. We have different departments, I work for the Incoming Global Volunteers one. We have several projects here, from rural woman empowerment to teaching underprivileged kids, they can choose a project and work towards it. I work as a team leader for one of the projects, so from promoting my project to, taking their interviews, helping them for a visa to their accommodation where everything is taken care of by us. Even planning their day to day activities. Q4. The interesting thing to do, good. Okay... Tell me What are the two learnings from a recent book you read? (He didn't ask me to name the book so I came up with any two learnings that would make him believe I'm a good candidate for the college 😂) One I believe it's essential to be ready to learn always, you must have the zeal and fire in your heart to know more. I think that's very important. Second I would say, one must always be down to earth regardless of his or her position in an organization. People who are modest can do wonders. ( Then I realized he might ask me to name the book I derived these learnings from so I mentally thought of a book name to bluff 😂) Q5. Why Healthcare after experience in Marketing? I've always been interested in the pharma world Sir but in TCS I was more inclined towards the management-related work that was given to me hence I decided to explore that field and when I did that I was really happier and more fruitful so I decided to stick to that. Q6. Okay, and Why MBA? Honestly Sir I never considered doing an MBA, it's only when I started working with MBA graduates from IIM Indore, SP Jain, and NMIMS I realized I lack a lot of theoretical knowledge which helps them in the practical world. Hence MBA. And when I researched about it I got to know about Healthcare MBA which is a dedicated course so then I was more interested. Q7 Okay that's why you applied for only Healthcare. ( I actually applied to everything except healthcare, but my percentile qualified me only for Healthcare, unfortunately. But here he assumed I'm focused so I couldn't kill his image of me 😂) Yes Sir, but if given an option I'd like to go for Media too. (He said but you've applied only for Healthcare so I guess that's not an option now, I said yes right. ) Q8. Two things essential for the sustenance of an organization according to you? Apart from Measures to build Sales. A- Employee welfare (explained that a little example of a pharma company ) and moving forward with the latest trends. Q7. Example of Pharma companies that are into digital marketing? A- I think all companies are into Digital marketing Sir, digital marketing was a big thing two years back however now everybody is into that so there needs to be something new that companies need to come up with I guess. Q8. Personal and professional long term goal? A- Personally Sir I would want to be in a position wherein I'm able to establish an animal hospital, I metropolitan city like Mumbai has only one animal hospital ( he said he's aware of one in parel, I said yes named it, and said its the only one) and Sir of course like any other child I want to see my parents be extremely proud of me. Professionally, I see myself in a leadership position in one of the world's top companies. (Secretly, I want to travel the entire world, all 190ish countries😂 ) Q9. Green hair makes you feel confident? (he smiled) A- I blushed, said I colored my hair a month back, and felt confident before that too but yes right now I feel more confident. I wasn't anticipating a GDPI call or else I'd definitely delay coloring. (he laughed and said he's not judgmental about the color of my hair. It made me happy I smiled) Q10. What are two things that are of value to you pertaining to your work experience? A- People Management - I learned that and I believe it's of utmost importance. Example - Vodafone Sponsored NGO where I handled 10 teachers who taught English to underprivileged kids of BMC schools. Concluding Note: Just being Positive - Things can go wrong, sometimes you are not responsible for it but it's how you react to it that matters the most. They both smiled and said that's it thank you.
