Interesting

The interview descriptions in various forums is useful to provide pointers to aspirants. Also they make the interview process more rigourous. The interview panel members cannot afford to be casual.

My personal recommendation to the MBA institutes is to start having separate interviews for academic knowledge and personality assessment.

I find even the best of students very weak in replying to any question related to any subject in the degree they obtained. It is a very pathetic state. Because of this they find it difficult to absorb knowledge as postgraduate students.

There has to be some change in selection processes to direct the attention of students to retaining the core of the knowledge that they are obtaining in their formal education.

Certificates will not perform, only the knowledge that is retained will perform.
