MDI Gurgaon PI-[04:00 PM - 04:12 PM]
2 panelists- middle aged- 1 female & 1 male.
(10/8/6, Law graduate GNLU, fresher)
Pleasantries exchanged.
P1: So T you’re a law student, how did you decide on doing an MBA.
T: (gave my normal rehearsed answer, they didn’t go into the specifics of it)
P1: What do you think is the difference between ‘principle’, ‘theory’ and ‘law’?
T: From what we have been taught about these concepts in the legal context, we can understand the differences … [ gave a brief about codification of law and how codification of law is necessary for society etc., talked about natural law principles, procedure established by law, and finally the statutes and Acts]. {She seemed satisfied}.
P1: Do you know about MSME’s?
T: Yes ma’am they’re the Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises.
P1: What is your opinion on them?
T: (gave a generic answer about them being good for the economy, the government is giving a lot of push to them, related it to Uttar Pradesh and how they’re prevalent here etc.)
P1: Do you know about the distillery MSMEs in UP?
T: No ma’am I do not.
P1: Okay. So how are MSMEs defined?
T: In the MSME Act, they’re defined on monetary terms i.e. limits.
P1: So what are those monetary limits?
T: I am not sure of the exact value but I think for small industries it’s 50 crores and 100 crores for medium.
P1: But what is that monetary value?
T: It’s the turnover. [Overall it was a guess but it turned out to be correct]
P1: Do you know about the judgment pertaining to Jamia and the riots?
T: I am not sure which judgment you’re referring to ma’am, are you talking about the Delhi riots? [The Jamia judgment had totally skipped my mind]
P1: The judgment about the students who were protesting were charged for rioting and violence, the court said this month that they’re not rioters but victims of violence as per the facts. What’re your views about this judgment?
T: Ma’am I haven't read the judgment, but I think the court is right in deeming that the students were victims and not the rioters themselves, who were exercising their fundamental rights with the protest.
P1: Okay.
P2
Asked me for my CAT percentile, but he wasn't sure of my degree; P1 clarified it to him.
P2: International Conflicts- What do you know of them, you must have studied them?
T: Yes sir, we have studied International law. In what context are you referring to international conflicts? The Russia-Ukraine war?
P2: No, I am referring to the Azaadi Bachao aandolan Case.
T: I am not sure if I recall the case sir…
P2: It is the Vodafone case.
(I immediately understood that it was pertaining to the Vodafone Tax case which involved offshore entities and tax havens, luckily I had done a project on it)
T: {I told him the correct facts in brief, the legal principles involved and the judicial route the matter took in India. Forgot to talk about the ICJ judgment pertaining to it, but he seemed satisfied with the answer.}
P2: What is a contract?
T: {gave a basic definition that I sort of made up on the spot taking in the relevant words from the Indian Contract Act. He was not completely happy with the answer.}
P2: “All agreements are contracts, but not all contracts are agreements”, talk about it.
T: I asked him to repeat it once, because it seemed wrong to me. I told him that it was the reverse. [He smiled and nodded]. All contracts were agreements enforceable in a court of law, while agreements could be of any nature, such as a social agreement eg. If I tell you that I will meet you for coffee at 5 pm someplace but I do not turn up, then you can not take me to court for this.
P2: Asked me to tell him which section defines consideration.
T: Said I wasn’t sure but I think it’s 3.
P2: You should know the basics of contract na, you’re a law student. Okay I am done, you may log off.
{Seemed like a generic interview that can go either way}
