Admission:

After I got shorlisted on the basis of marks scored in MAT exam, I faced GD and PI round. In GD round, we were given a topic for discussion and after clearing that round, I was called for Personal Interview round where questions related to my previous academics, weaknesses and strengths were asked. Also, they checked my presence of mind and mental ability by asking situation based question. To prepare for GD and PI round I kept myself from current affairs for GD round and I was several interview videos asked in IIM and other management colleges on youtube for PI round.
