My CET PI experience

Venue: JBIMS

Date: 25-May-09

Time: 4-5 pm

Hello guys, I finally got some time to write down this. After finishing my GD, we were send on the next floor. I still hadn’t completed that PI form. My one form was incomplete and I had to also complete the other form. I rushed on to complete the form, whereas people who were done with it went in PI room. I did not see well but I suppose there were 4 rooms.

As soon as I completed my forms I went to get the forms stamped, I signed on one paper, went back and set on the sofa. Just about 2 minutes later I was asked to go in.

I knocked the door, took the permission, went in. As expected there were two guys not so old (unexpected), I greeted them and set on the chair, and it all began.

Q: Tell me something about yourself?

A: Puri ram kahani suna di, starting from school till office and achievements everything.

Q: So u did ur pharmacy from SVBcp, verdarajan wala college?

A: yes sir

Q: Who is the principal now?

A: Donno sir, they keep on changing every 6 months.

Q: You know shettigar?

A: Rajni shettigar,(then principal of the college, was one of the best) yes sir, I was in good touch with her as i was sports secereatry of the college so had to interact a lot with her (thoda shining mara, but I think use samajh gaya mai kya kar raha tha)

Q: Where was ur office?

A: Vikhroli west

Q: U know setare?

A: Setare Irani, yes sir, she is in HR looks after placements.

Q: which is the most imp event in last decade, (I was not asked this question in last year’s PI)

A: Loan Waiver, (I explained him whatever I have written in that earlier post)

Q: What would u do if in ur office u are not in good terms with someone?

A: Sir, I would wait for an opportunity where in I can help them in their work and through that I would like to build a Rapport. I had such an incident when I was working in TCS, wherein I helped 2 guys of some different dept. (with whom I was not in good terms) that works hand in hand with my dept, in order to gain their trust. (It was a utter lie, but he definitely believed it)

Q: What should be done for India to become global power?

A: Improve ties with neighbouring countries.

Q: How would you deal with Pakistan?

A: Sir, I believe now we should impose on Pakistan govt to take help of our military power if they like it or not, and help them getting rid of terrorist group.

Q: But you are forcing some1, that is very different from what you said u would do in ur office.

A: I know sir, but there is a time frame for everything, and I believe the time is passed in case of Pakistan.

Q: What are ur strengths?

A: Adaptability and interpersonal skills (I explained it)

Q: What is ur weakness?

A: Multitasking

Q: But that is the strength of all the great personalities, why is it ur weakness?

A: Sir, it might be for others, but what happens is I have a tendency to work on different things or in different department at the sametime and help people, so what happens is the job that I have in my hand is at times delayed, which crestes a problem for me.

This thing has actually happened with me twice in my office wherein I received the mail from my client, and the work was supposed to be done ASAP, but I was not able to. (utter lie again, I do not know if he buy it or not)

Q: ok thanks

A: thank you sir

It was around 10 mins and PI was over. All in all a decent PI but I was not satisfied as it just slipped out of my mind to tell that about the fact that I do blogging and work for a NGO.

But then it was a good PI.

My Answers

·         Most important event in last decade – loan waiver, I have explained this in detail in my last post

·         How can India become global power in coming years- I said by improving the ties with neighbouring countries.

By improving these ties we can save the huge amounts spent every year on defence and use that money for economic development. Moreover trade between these countries is cheaper and as a fact our neighbouring countries are full of natural resources we can advantage from it a lot.  And also country like srilanka which is very strategically located can help us in trade with other eastern and western countries.

Strengths

·         Adaptability

·         Inter personal skills

Weakness

·         Multitasking

·         Attention to details

 

 

HERE IS MY CET GD EXPERIENCE- 2009

It was 25^th Monday and I actually forgot about the fact that I was supposed to go for gdpi today unless one of my family member happened to ask me ‘when is ur gdpi?’

DATE: 25^th May

TIME: 4-5 pm

VENUE: JBIMS

I reached the centre at 3.45 pm (but I would suggest you guys to reach atleat 30 mins before time). As soon as I reached there I showed my hall ticket and the female registered my name. I was given two similar forms by her, I thought she did a mistake, But after few minutes I realized that I was supposed to fill both of them. It was new as last year I had filled only one form.

I was filling my first form and was just half way through that I was called for my GD. Roll no wise every1 entered the room and got seated. But I do not know y we were sitting in wrong places even after following the instructions so the panel inside called us roll no wise again and rearranged our places. It was actually funny.

One of the panellist opened a sealed envelope and gave us two topics and asked us to choose one topic. “Indian women compared to women of other nations.” And I do not remember other topic.

Well we were given 2 mins to jot down points. 2 mins were over but the panel didn’t ask us to start. I was ready so I looked around, I looked at a guy and he also seemed ready, so I smartly asked him to start without sayin a word. What he did was funny, he asked the panel if he could start and as expected by me panel immediately refused and asked him to wait. It was just 30-40 seconds later the panel asked us to start.

Discussion started, 2-3 guys pitched in ,I think I was 3-4 one to speak and I spoke for the first time in 2 mins of time. This is important as u need to enter the GD at every stage by keeping the time. Like if it is 10 min GD make sure u speak in first 2 min, then in nxt 3 mins and then twice in last 5 mins.

As discussion went along, I realized that I am in the right place at right time. People around me were seriously dumb they went emotional, someone spoke in hindi and no one gave facts and figures initially. I jumped in by throwing some light on history like sati pratha, dowry and still women as housewives.

Then I went on to compare women all over the world with Indian women, described Indian women in corporate world, example of shakti, Indian women in space. Then reservation of women in parliament. On flip side I also talked about mangalore incident, Juhu beach last year, etc.

Once I thought people were just repeating the points and some dumb’s were getting emotional about the topicand I in very short summarized what we had discussed till now and then Asked them to come up with solution in order to solve the problem.

At last panel asked us to summarize the topic, I took the initiative and summarized it well. All in all a good GD and my gamble of taking a Monday and first day helped me as candidates around me were seriously dumb. It would have been so because firstly any experienced or a working candidate would not come on working day, so a big intelligent lot is excluded and moreover all intelligent people want to listen first from others about this years GDPI and then go for GD.
