u/DumbledoreOG

Hiii everyone since almost all the interviews are over, I wanted to know which college is better between Amritsar and Jammu/Bodhgaya, I am getting Jammu/Bodhgaya for sure and have a chance to get amritsar as well (this is my worst case scenario). And if I get Indore or Ranchi then I will join these for sure and for rohtak I don't know but I don't like rohtak for its strictness and bad reviews and all this stuff, although I know academically it is better than amritsar jammu and bodhgaya but yaa still if anyone knows something good about rohtak then do write.

So I just wanted to ask that which is better IIM Amritsar or IIM Jammu for their ug course given that I love the ug course in amritsar as it is related to maths and quantitative finance or something like that which interests me very much but I like the campus of Jammu and there is scholarship of 100% or 50% also that I think I can grab as my family income is 3-4 lakhs but in Jammu I dont like the ug course which is bba course atleast as of now compared to amritsar one. But I often get to hear bad about amritsar than Jammu. And for bodhgaya, everyone says jammu is better than bodhgaya that's why I am considering jammu over bodhgaya but if there are advantages of something else in bodhgaya over Jammu then please tell me. As of now I just know that Jammu has better campus, location, rooms than bodhgaya.

My interview - https://www.reddit.com/r/IPMATtards/s/PWbaHxqrJ7

There were Two panelist M and F (both were pretty chill.) I was the first one to be interviewed there in Panel 1.

I entered greeted them and took a seat.

M took the ECAs folder and asked me to introduce myself.

I introduced myself (M was checking the folder and F was listening.)

Then M asked me two of my favourite Subjects and I said mathematics and accountancy, then he asked what topics did I study in accounts and I said depreciation, Journal entry, balance sheet, financial statements, etc. Then M asked questions from accountancy.

Q1- what is the difference between Depreciation and amortization?

- I explained both of these correctly, then M asked about methods to calculate depreciation and I said straight line method and written down value method, then M asked to explain these and I did that, then M asked if one can choose a method to calculate it or not and I said Yes, then M asked by which method we get more benefit and I said written down value method, then M asked why and I said because we get tax benefit as in this method value of an asset never goes to zero in future so we get tax benefit then M typically said that no this is not right and that we get more benefits from straight line method as we get equal expense every year which gives us more expense to record something like that and then I said ok sir then I might be wrong then M said so you agree or disagree and I said yes sir I agree with you. Then M asked about amortisation and that how do we show it in the balance sheet ? I explained it correctly like we record large expenses as an assets to charge in future year and like that I explained and then M said that for ex if I sign msd for an advertisement which costs 50lakhs then can I amortise it and show it in the balance sheet or will I be in legal troubles and I said yes sir and blah blah something.

(This question went for like 3-4 minutes)

Q2- what is goodwill and can we show it in the balance sheet?

- I answered that yes we can show it but only if we buy any other business which has its brandvalue and asking more money for goodwill but you can't show it in the balance sheet if you are valuing goodwill of your business on your own.

Then M asked me that are you comfortable with money markets, etc (economics stuff), I said yes sir a little bit but not deeply, then M said you had economics na and I said no sir I didn't had economics then M said okay okay and asked me :

Q3- what is sensex ?

- I answered that sensex is a bundle of top companies' stock values that represent indian economy as they constitute a major part in the economy and somthing like that.

Then M moved to mathematics and asked the topic that I have studied and loved in maths and I said differentiation and integration then M asked couple of questions from it.

Q3- What is Differentiation?

- I said Differentiation is the rate of change of a dependent variable Y with respect to an independent variable X. M asked why sinx has derivative as cosx and I said sir because if we move X variable of sinx function then function will move at the rate of cosx, M asked can you prove it and I said yes sir I can prove it by LHD RHD method, then M asked me to prove it then as I wrote the formula of left hand derivative, M interrupted me and said what does this formula means and then I explained him that in this formula we subtract a very infinitely small value which tends to zero from the function and then find their difference and somthing like that and that's how we find the slope at that particular point because the difference is infinitely short it comes of that particular point only whose rate we have to find and since it is a curve that's why it has different rate of change at different points unlike the straight lines in which we find a slope which comes out to be constant.

(Something like that I don't know my exact words but ya and I think M was satisfied.)

Q4- Prove Sin^2(x) + Cos^2(x) = 1.

- I proved it correctly by Pythagoras theorem.

After Acads, M said F to continue and then F asked me if I play cricket and badminton (From my ECAs) and I said Yes maam then F asked me if I watch IPL and I said Yes then F asked me

Q6- As we all agree that IPL is a very big sporting event, so how will they earn money?

- I said by selling their broadcasting rights and selling teams and like auction and something I said like that (fumbled in this question but F was saying the words herself whenever I was fumbling).

Q5- do you think IPL has lost its technical beauty of sports to provide more entertainment ?

- I said Yes maam, then F asked why do you think that and I said because maam the format has become shorter so that batsman play more aggressively to provide more entertainment to the public but it makes them to prioritise power over technical bat swing and shots and something like that I said.

Q6- F gave me an extempore on the topic "If you are an owner of an IPL team then how would you make your team popular and increase its value and branding."

- (After thinking for 20 seconds) I said that firstly I will ensure that my top order plays aggressively so that we can use the powerplay effectively but if they get out quickly then I will instruct my middle order to play defensively so that we can achieve a good total and then for bowling side i would tell them to take as many wickets as possible quickly and will try to win the match then F interrupted and said that you answered as if you were the coach but I asked you as an owner that how will you increase the popularity of your team then I said ohh sorry sorry maam and then I thought for 5-10 seconds and answered that I will tell my batsman to play more aggressively so that audience get more entertainment and I would organise campaign in which general public can come and support my team and like that I gave my extempore.

(It went bad ig, don't know if the misunderstanding went against me or not but this confusion completed my 2minutes easily without me going blanked as I technically gave two short extempore, it didn't go like I spoke very less so yaa)

Then M asked me about my parents and I said that my father is a businessman and my mother is a homemaker, then M asked about the business and I said my father has a petrolpump as a retail business, then M gave a situation and asked me

Q7- How would you calculate the profit of a petrolpump business ?

- I said no sir my father doesn't own the petrolpump as a dealer but manages it, then M said yes but still as a student of accountancy how would you calculate the profit of a petrolpump. I said firstly I will calculate the expenses such as price of petrol and other operating expenses like rent, salary of workers, etc and will subtract it from revenue to get the gross profit then I will subtract interest and tax to calculate the final net profit.

(I am not fluent in English so during this whole interview my english was not good but not bad also)

(That was my interview, it lasted for like 15-20 mins. I have scored 142(EWS) in ipmat and the cutoff is 112 for ews. So hosakta hai ky mera like is interview ke baad)

Kal iim indore mumbai campus me kisika interview hai kya at 1 pm
