PGPEX Interview experience
PGPEX is a full-time i-year MBA program from Indian Institute of Management, Calcutta, INDIA. Admission process for the II batch is underway.I was interviewed for PGPEX in Newark, USA. There were 6 of us in morning slot and 5 in the afternoon one. I was the first one to be interviewed in morning slot (and effectively the first one in US). In my batch (morning), 5 guys from IT and 1 from Wireless Communication.
My interview began with a thorough check of all the documents and generic questions on what I do, my current responsibilities, major issues faced. Then more intense questions around my job profile and my employer. Why MBA and what do I want to do post-MBA? A couple of questions on IT industry, which is where I'm from? 2 questions on my ECA. Question on whether I need married accommodation. It seems that IIMC does not have many married accommodations. Though requesting married accommodation would not act as a disqualifying (or qualifying otherwise) criteria, IIMC wants to manage logistics well in advance. Photocopies were not asked from anyone, whom I know and was interviewed today.All in all, it was more of a chit-chat, informal discussion. Absolutely not like an interrogation.A friend of mine, who was interviewed in afternoon batch inquired that when would results be out and was told that definitely around 15th August. Wouldn’t that be our Independence Day (??), if selected.. Good luck to folks, who are going to interviewed in coming time.

Good luck!
Hi,
I've been shortlisted for the interview for the PGPEX-4th batch (starting apr 2010). Could you give me some insight into how IIM-C's quant focus, manifests itself in the kind of questions asked during interviews?
