S: Science with Maths
M1: Then why did you transition to an Arts subject for graduation? Were you originally planning on engineering?
S: No sir, I was not. I had applied abroad but due to Covid had to study in India. I was interested in one of my minor subjects(International Relations) and thought that taking an Arts major subject(Political Science) would work better for me.
M2: How did you do in your graduation?
S: Told that I could not do well in one semester due to Covid as lectures were pre-recorded and learning outcomes were poor. (These subjects were from Economics)

YASH KUMAR
PGP
Category: General
CAT – 99.97%ile
Academic profile – Non-Engineer (BBA) – 79.33 / 77.4 / 54.8
Work Ex: 54 months+ (Diverse), CFA, CFO at a start-up, CIO at a Delhi based wealth management and investment advisory firm etc.
Time: 02:55 pm
Panellist 1: Finance, Accounting & Control
Panellist 2: Strategic Management
Q1. Tell me about yourself apart from what is on your Personal Data Form
I am avid football enthusiast, and a former India U-19 player who was selected in a 25 men recruitment camp by Bayern Munich hosted by Allianz on a professional contract of 2 years for their Reserve team, it however did not materialise due to my academic commitments and the scope of professional football player appearing grim in line with the rules of this country.
However, I have not given up my passion for football, only the means of approach has changed, I wanted to be professional footballer player and now, in future I aspire to make meaningful professional contribution in the management and operating function of one of the best football clubs
If you read my SOP, I have mentioned my ultimate goal and what I stand to gain from an MBA from one of the best institutions in the country for management, and it is through that ultimate professional landing / enterprise, I intend to achieve one of my other goals that is also very close to my heart and my sporting endeavours.
I fully intend to deliver on what I promised to myself when I started panning out what I want to do, short term and long term and where do I want to be when my hair turn grey.
Q2. Which is your favourite football club? Who is your favourite player? Which position did you play?
Chelsea Football Club, it is in South West London, and currently post the new owner takeover, they are in a period of transition. My favourite player – Ronaldinho. My primary position was Left Wing however, I have also played at False Striker position.
Q3. Reading your form and your answer to the first question, don’t you think your appetite and your ambitions are big in contrast to the average MBA student?
With all due respect, I would like to disagree. Factually speaking, there is a 1% crowd that graduates from some of the finest B schools in the land and goes on to become the most successful entrepreneurs, for example lets take Ashneer Grover. Would you also say, what they have done for themselves and say society by extension, is big enough for it to be a tall aspiration?
And honestly speaking, I intend to be in that 1% club that doesn’t want to settle for anything less than any of the folks that made it big after stepping foot in any of the premier B schools.
I intend to be a part of the fraternity that graduates these lawns in 2025, and meaningfully create the world for myself I wanted and give back to the society at the same time in any possible form.
And lastly, again with all due respect, appetite and ambitions are always relative.
Q4. Tell us about your start-up
Q5. Questions specific to previous industry during my job years
Q6. What I learnt working in one of the most unorganised industry in the country and how we ensured to still be a billion dollar enterprise growing at 25-30% pre, during and after COVID?
Q7. Adani-Hindenburg conflict

IIM-K Interview Experience 3
Profile: General Engineering Male, 18 months’ work-ex
10th/12th/grad/CAT: 10/98.5/8.3/99.76
Date: March 26th, 2021.
Overall experience: The interview lived up to the expectations. IIM K interviews are known to be longer, touching upon all aspects of your profile. Mine was no exception, however there was of more emphasis on general knowledge.
Two male panellists, both in 40s, let’s say M1, M2
M1: Which firm do you work at? What’s your role? Describe about your firm.
Me: *This was already expected and I gave a well-prepared answer*
M2: What’s Adobe’s market capitalisation?
Me: 200 billion dollars.
M1: Do you know how many classical languages are there in India?
Me: I know that there are 16 languages on currency but I don’t know about classical languages.
M1: Ok I will give u the definition, they are languages which are 1500 yrs old.
Me: In that case, Tamil and Sanskrit will be there. Telugu also should be there. It’s derived from Tamil and definitely has a history of more than 1500 yrs. But regarding north Indian languages, I don’t have much idea.
M1: why do you think north Indian languages are not classical languages?
Me: I know that there is a language called Prakriti which evolved from Sanskrit. All other languages evolved from that. But I don’t really know whether this happened 1500 yrs ago.
(*Looks like the guess mostly worked, there are 6 classical languages they are Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam, Kannada, Sanskrit, Odia*)
M1: Ok do u know about the city which is the reference for IST — Indian standard time
Me: I don’t know but I can take a guess
M1: Ok
Me: Nagpur or Indore
M1:(*grins*) what? How?
Me: It should be somewhere near the midpoint, so Nagpur lies straight above Hyderabad and its almost closer to centre point of India.
M1:(*faint smile*) (*Answer is prayagraj, made a blunder*)
Now M2 takes over…
M2: So you know digital circuits right?
Me: Yes sir.
M2: what’s the significance of NAND gate?
Me: It’s a universal gate and building block of most of the digital circuits in the processors.
M2: Can you tell me the Boolean expression for that?
Me: *told*
M2: How does a USB drive work?
Me: it connects to the data bus of the processor. From there the data goes to internal registers and flow is controlled by the control unit.
M2: What’s the probability of you getting selected in any IIM?
Me: There are 4000 seats. Me being a GEM, the probability will be lower than usual.
M2: Give me a number
Me:(*trying to use pen and paper*)
M2: without using pen and paper
Me:(*took sometime*) I am making a simple assumption that 4 candidates are interviewed per seat. So, it’s 0.25.
M2: Ok, can you name two women ministers of India?
Me: Nirmala Sitaraman and Smriti Irani.
M2: Do you know about spectrum scam?
Me: yes sir, it happened in 2011 2012
M2: Was it 2g,3g,4g? Which party’s minister was involved?
Me: it was 2g and DMK’s minister was involved.
M2: Who is the minister?
Me: I think it was D raja (*it was A raja*)
M2: Do you know the difference between pandemic, epidemic, endemic?
Me: pandemic is worldwide spread; endemic is a spread in localized area or a group. Epidemic should be somewhere in between.
M2: What is the meaning of between? (*Laughs*)
Me: May be at a country or a state level…
M2: what are the vaccines produced in India? Who are the manufacturers?
Me: Covishield — Serum Institute, Pune; Covaxin — Bharat Biotech, Hyd.
M2: what about Russia’s vaccine and China’s vaccine?
Me Yes sir, Dr Reddy’s labs is in consultation to produce them. China’s vaccine is not produced in India.
M2: what’s the name of the Russia’s vaccine? Do u know why it’s named so?
Me: it’s sputnik, named after Russia’s first space mission.
M1: What other calls do you have?
Me: B, C, L
M1: So, you have all these calls, which IIM is best according to you? It’s doesn’t have to be K.
Me: Sir, coming from an IIT background, I can say that all older IIMs offer more or less similar quality infrastructure, faculty and peer group. I would be happy to be selected in anyone of them. But my personal choice would be IIM B, because of its geographical proximity and also, I know seniors in IIM B.
M2: what’s the oldest IIM?
Me: Calcutta.
M2: that’s the interview, any questions from your side?
Me: No sir, I am fine.
M2: All the best for your other interviews.
Me: Thanks sir.

Me: Sir it’s NSE and BSE.
M1: What is the difference?

Nifty is calculated using market capitalization of top 500 companies. And SENSEX using top 50 companies. Nifty also has an index called Nifty 50 which uses market capitalization of top 50 companies.
** Now that he asked BSE and NSE I wonder if in the previous question he meant “NASDAQ” and “stock” instead of “sport”(because this is what i heard) because I know about NASDAQ, ugh these online interviews **
M1: Why is your company called Pvt. Ltd? What is Ltd?
Me: Sir Ltd means that the company’s liability is restricted to a limited number of shareholders. I guess the number is 50 shareholders. (Was right) Public companies are listed on the stock exchange and private companies are not. Whenever any private firm defaults the losses will be limited to that company’s shareholders.
