A friend of mine attended the interview for the 2021 batch of IIM Ahmedabad. Here is his experience in brief.

• Academic range so far- 98.72% in 10th, 97.83% in 12th and 85% in Graduation
• CAT score: 99.71
• Work experience: 37 months of working under the company- Qualcomm

The interview took place in a video conferencing room. There were two panelists. It lasted for 20 minutes and to my friend’s surprise, it was more of a conversation rather than an interview. He was mostly asked about his job, his published paper, hobbies, and why MBA.

Here are some of the questions from his interview.

• Tell me about your job at Qualcomm. What were the skills that you needed?
• Is your paper more research based on some sort of survey?
• You are good at what you do, so why do you want to pursue an MBA?
• What are your hobbies?

They also asked some current affairs questions. Overall, it was a good experience for my friend and he was able to convert.
