Here's a rundown of an XIMB interview experience of a student. This is how the interview went.

• Program Applied: BM, HR
• XAT score: 96.86
• Academic Scores: X/XII/B.Tech - 88.16/70.83/7.38
• Group Discussion Topic: India should cut diplomatic ties with Pakistan
• GD Duration: 5-6 minutes
• WAT Duration: 5 minutes

The student started the GD second after a girl, and three people (including the student) dominated the conversation. After the GD and WAT, the students were asked to sit outside. Interview Duration: 15 minutes.

There were three-panel members, two old professors, and one middle-aged man. The interview panelists were the same for everyone. The middle-aged panelist asked the student to take a seat and AOP asked about the student's CAT/XAT scores. When the student revealed that he only applied through XGMT and not CAT/XAT, the panelists inquired about the student's preference for the BM and HR programs, to which the student answered that BM was his first choice.

The panel asked about the student's interest in HR. When the panelists asked why the student left his job, he answered, and the discussion shifted to his academic scores.

The panelists commented on the student's low academic scores and asked him about the reason for the decline. The student explained that the conversion factor made it look worse than it was, but the panelists pushed back and commented that everyone faced the same issue. The student countered that his semester marks were actually increasing and he enjoyed learning from real-life experiences.

The panelists then asked the student about his other calls, which he revealed. They also inquired about the student's preference if he were to convert all of them, to which the student responded. They then asked the student about his interest in HR and digital marketing, and he provided a detailed explanation. The middle-aged panelist asked the student if he had ever taken a loan, and the student replied that he had not, as his content writing company was small and unregistered. The panel then inquired about loan rates and why fixed deposit rates were low while loan rates were high, and the student explained the concept of banks using the excess amount to fund new loans.

The conversation then turned to the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), and the student could not recall the interest rates it set. The panel asked the student about his thoughts on Nirav Modi and whether his assets should be sold to recover as much as possible. The student replied that his assets should be liquidated to recover as much as possible.
