Here it goes

"I was asked to write an essay on "Socialism", just before the interview.
Interview started right on time. There were three people in the panel,including one lady. Interview started with general introduction. Overall the panel was very courteous and the interview was like a casual interaction.

Here are the questions I got in my interview.

- How did you manage to get a good score in 12th and admission into BITS pilani.
- Tell us about your family
- Next question came from lady, regarding my extracurriculars (I had mentioned about theatre in BITS)
- what kind of plays you did?
- Names and authers of the plays.
- What kind of roles did you play? (I told them that I mainly played negative roles,)
- A favourite dilogue from any play (This was my strong point. I actually
got up from my seat and performed a five minute solo sequence from one of the plays. I played a negative role of a nazi officer torturing a victim!
I actually couldnt believe that I was doing it right in front of intv panel ;-) )
- So, why didnt you join movies after BITS?
- After this started the work related questions.
- Tell us what kind of role do you play at work?
- Tell us what factors do you take into consideration while planning a project.
- They asked me abt a project, which I had mentioned among the achievements in my resume.
- CEO of ST, my present company, On which stock exchanges is it listed, How
many fabs it has etc.
- Why do you want to join Google after your MBA? (I had written Google as my
dream job)
- The way Google is growing, some people think it will eventually kill Microsoft. What is your stand on this?
- Then they asked me if I had any questions. I asked them about any courses or initiatives at ISB focussing on technology management, I aslo asked them a question regarding the 'centre for IT and Network economy'.

Overall the interview was good. I think, you should be thorough about what
you write in your resume and essays.
Just be confident and yourself and you will be through!!"

He hopes that his interview experience will be of some use to the people targeting ISB.

All the best to R-2 Applicants
