I applied for admission to NIA through CAT. It was a very exciting process, shortlisting for the interview was done on the basis of CAT or CMAT score, then on the day of the interview, first there was a GD round followed by an interview. The topic for GD was very easy, and in the interview, general questions were asked in the beginning, they asked questions related to family, educational background, related to home town, some economics-related questions, and a few insurance-related also.
