Q. What was the first question? The most interesting question? The most difficult question?
A.First was about yourself, most interesting one was who would you chose amongst Mahatma Gandhi and Dhiru Bhai Ambani as your idol and most difficult was to give as many as recent possible innovations in field of electronics and telling in brief about them.

Q. How did you prepare for the interview? While facing the panel, were you confident, did you feel prepared?
A. Kept in touch with current affairs and general industry updates of different sectors in industry. Went for mock interview in institutes.

Doing an MBA is about learning from people with diverse backgrounds and everybody have their own set of qualities and experiences to share thus no one has an edge over others.
