IIM C GD/PI

Last IIM Interview… No way the least… IIM C

Dadar Catering College, 13th March

Case Study: Thanks to Pagalguy , I knew that there is a case study on the cards… It was about a low-cost airline facing lots of losses… They want a customer centric image and hence planning more friendly approach… However, also planning to overbook and give more confirmed tickets so that planes get filled… staff having lots of problems… what should company and staff do?

Decent… everyone spoke decently… I could also contribute 5-6 times ….

Told to wait… would be called in seating order of GD…

Was very hungry… no breakfast… went to catering college canteen… grabbed to vada pavs then ready after having 2 chlormints

All panelists chatting: and we will be described as pink shirt guy, specs guy etc… All of us have seen pagalguy (Laughing)

It was a conversation… we were just talking…. Infact I got in some points which I wanted the faculty to know just in the conversation .. I don’t remember the Lady asking me anything….

This is all I can remember… I think there were some more questions..

So again I have no idea if it was good or bad… fingers all crossed
