SCMHRD GE-PI Experience 9
Commerce graduate 20 months workex 2 male panelists (1 was in 40s and other in 50s)
As soon as I joined, I was asked two things:
- An experience that left a deep impact on me.
- An experience I would like to forget.
They told me to share something different from what was already mentioned in my profile form. They also asked where I was from.
I was given a situation where I was the head of a municipal division in Ghaziabad (I am from Ghaziabad) and had the resources to fix the potholes. I was asked how I would reach out to people and solve this issue.
Next, they asked about my specialisation and why I chose it.
Second Panelist:
- Asked what finance is.
- Asked why I wouldn’t pursue a stock market course from NSE (since I mentioned earlier that I wanted to study the stock market).
- Asked the difference between mutual funds, banks, and insurance funds.
- Asked me to name 5 good mutual funds.
- Asked if I would advise my friends to invest in Adani right now.
Extempore words:
- Volleyball and Toxic (then they changed 'Toxic' to 'Relish').
Overall, the panelists were supportive. The first panelist grilled me a little, but the second one was pretty chill.
