had my GD/PI at IMT-Ghaziabad centre itself.
The process started a little late. First we had fill up a preference form for the stream choices.

GD Topic: Tata Nano ......
Time given was very less(8-10 mins) for a group of 15 and that too for such a simple topic. Everyone had a lot of things to say but no one was ready to listen. Complete Fish market. Only good thing happened to me was that after trying to speak in first 2 mins, I didn't contributed to Fishy market. Tried to manage the group 2-3 times but after a silence of 10 secs, gp again started with Fish Marketting[ ].
Finally they cut short the discussion in 6-7 mins and asked everyone to summarize it in 1 min. Then submit the written summary in 2 mins. These were the only instance when I can show my opinions.

Waited for 2.5 hours for PI as I was the last in the group.
I had to reschedule my PI before some other guys in my gp as My flight got preponed.
There were three panelist: P1,P2(both from IMT), P3- from industry
P1: Why did you reschedule your PI slot?
Me: My flight got preponed
P1: Why didn't you book a flight from nest day?(asked this ques very harshly and trying to create stress)
Me: Started explaning my job responsiblities and told how critical work I am handling at this time so don't want to take xtra leave and harm my company. Explained it a bit. (they were happy)
P2: Why MBA after such a good job?
Me: Give gyan on business knowledge and value addition bla bla...
P2: Hobbies ?
Me: Cooking, playing games etc....
P2: Cooking is your hobby or necessity of life?
Me: Give gyan that cooking is my hobby. I love eating and cooking different varity of foods.
P1 & P2 asked some more Qs about cooking to check my knowledge.
All Answered ...
P3: Other calls?
Me: yes, MDI,NITIE,XIMB,SCMHRD ....
P3: which one do you want to join?
Me: Sir IMT. Explained the IMT strengths about industry as well as international exposure. How this can help me in my long term goal to set up my own venture bla bla....
P3: Suppose you din't get selected in any of institutes then?
Me: Told about my backup plans. Have an onsite opportunity in hand and will opt for that. and then again come back after 5-6 months, prep again and will come again for interview in IMT next year..
They were all happy with my answer.
Wish me best of luck for future.
told me to run and catch my flight.

Overall good PI but bad GD..
