Mentioned Above is the weightage of each of your academic record in the past. We cannot help you or guide you for the respective areas mentioned against Serial No. 1, 2 & 3 because these are the outcome of your past performance in Academics.
The item mentioned against Serial No. 4 has already remained a Litmus Test before you reached the
Top 360.
Now comes our responsibility to help you out in clearing the Group Discussion/Personal interview (GD/PI) to confirm your admission to HPUBS MBA Programmee 2016-18. Here are the detailed Tips & Tricks.
GD/PI Procedure:
1. Based on your Score in HPUMAT, a call letter will be
dispatched to the Top 360 students inviting them to participate in the GD/PI to
be held on _____ (Date) in Group Number _______ at ________ (Time). The venue
is HPUBS Shimla. Normally a group consists of 10-15 students. A person who
appears for GD/PI in Subsidized Category can also appear for GD/PI in
Non-subsidized provided they receive the Call Letter for the same.
2. Once you reach the venue on the specified date, you will
be made to sit in a Room alongwith other aspirants followed by the Document
Checking Process wherein all your original academic certificates will be
checked and the Marks as mentioned in the Admission Form will be rechecked to
be true as per 10th, 12th & Graduation marksheets issued by competent
authorities.
3. The students will be called in specific groups for the
Group Discussion wherein they will be provided a Case in printing format. A
time duration of 10-15 minutes will be provided to study the case & reach a
solution.
4. the group will then be sent to the HPUBS Conference Room
where a Team of Learned HPUBS Professors will already be seated to evaluate the
candidates. The students will be allotted seats and the Group Discussion will
start. The students will then be secretly evaluated based on their
communication skills, confidence & relevance of their solution to the case.
5. After the GD is over, students will once again be
transferred to a Room where they will wait for their turn for Personal
Interview.
6. The students will one-by-one be sent to the Director's
Room wherein a Team of Learned HPUBS Faculty members will already be seated to
interview the student and test his intelligence, confidence & analytical
skills making him fit to be a student of HPUBS.
7. Once the PI is over, the student can leave the
department. The results will be declared in Last week
of July or First Week of August 2014 (Tentatively, May Vary).
GROUP DISCUSSION (GD):
Having completed your graduation by now, I take it for granted that each one of you might be aware of what a Group Discussion means. Normally a group discussion is conducted based on a particular current Topic in general terms. But incase of HPUBS MBA Admissions, GD is based on a Case Study. The students are provided with a printed paper on which a Case is typewritten. 10-15 minutes will be given to study the Case and reach out an appropriate solution to the problem discussed in the Case. The cases provided for study are mainly related to various realms of Management, preferably Human Resource (HR).
>> You Can Practice Case
Studies available on Internet.
PERSONAL INTERVIEW (PI):
Personal Interview is a way through which the interviews tries to know your inner self by asking you questions relating to you. The Interview Panel would consist of HPUBS Faculty members normally 5-7 in number.
Some questions mainly asked are:
- Tell Us Something About Yourself?
- From amongst a number of Institutes
throughout the country, Why you Chose HPUBS?
- (For Engineers) When You already
possess a professional degree in Engineering, then why MBA after B.Tech?
- Where do you see after completing your
MBA from HPUBS?
- What are your achievements in previous
institution?
- How was your learning experience in
graduation?
- Do you think Narendra Modi would
really transform India?
- What are your views on FDI? Is its
acceptable or not?
- What measures should be taken to make
Rupee strong against Dollar?
- What is the difference between SENSEX
& NIFTY?
- Who is the Present Governor & 4
Deputy Governors of RBI?
- Recent current affairs.
