IIM Calcutta Venue: India Habitat Centre, Delhi Date: 3 Mar 2 | MBA PERSONAL INTERVIEWS
IIM Calcutta Venue: India Habitat Centre, Delhi Date: 3 Mar 2023 Panellists: Two profs (M1, F1)
M1 read out my form answering my TMAY themselves M1: How did the Engineering to Product Management transition happen? M1: Why not a job in engineering after IIT? M1: How many professionals stay in engineering leadership after 5-7 years down the line? M1: How much drainage (engineering students going for non-engineering careers) do you think happens in IIT? M1: If you were assigned the task to reduce this drainage, how would you go about solving this problem? Explain the thought process of understanding the problem as well. (not verbatim, it was asked like a case interview question) Me: Came up with a framework M1 & F1: Back and forth for the next 15-20 min on each stage where I defended the assumptions stated
F1: Pulled back to the before engineering part and asked in detail. F1: What do I do in my current role? F1: She says that she doesn't think I need an MBA, leading to "why MBA?" F1: What is your take on women in India? (kinda taken aback and asked her for more perspective. Realised after 10s that it was contextual indeed: there was a women-led biz networking event held downstairs.) Found context and answered down those lines
