I thought I had done well.

I started off the case study – I had read the case before and so I knew about the case. I felt that it was pretty impressive.

Description of the Interview (Questions asked and your response) – please elaborate


Q: (we were asked to get xerox of marksheets – I went without them) How can you come without your marksheets. What happens when you become a manager and continue to be so careless?
A: Sir, it is totally my fault – no one else has to blame for it. I admit it is a gross blunder on my part.
Q: Who stands to lose?
A: I
Q: Only you? Who else will lose?
A: I and the company I will be working for.
Q: Not just you and your company – who else would lose?
A: (after some thought) I think it will be a multiplier effort – the society, the country also would lose.
Q: Express the repercussion that your carelessness would have on society mathematically.(since I have mathematics background)
Q: Sir, the repercussion cannot be captured in mathematics equations – there is a lot of difference between theory and reality. I don’t think that mathematics would be able to express the repercussion of my actions on the society.
Q: Try to express as a mathematical equation.
A: (After thinking for sometime)
R = e ^ (-kT)
Q: What are the terms used?
A: R : Repercussion ; k : constant term; t : a parameter which is defined by four variables.
Q: What are the four variables?
A: (gave them four variables – and the interviewers were visibly impressed)
Q: Tell us two examples which are similar to Zuari Agro?
A: Talked about 1) the Narmada Dam project and 2) Enron Project



Q: What are your extracurricular activities?
A: I had worked for Social Service League – which is a college society involved with social causes.
Q: Why are you interested in Social causes?
A: Makes me happy and satisfied…
Q: What was your role in the organisation?

Q: Will you be able to do similar things after MBA?
