SCMHRD GDPI EXPERIENCE
=============================UDDALAK BANERJEE
Schmrd stands tall among all the symbiosis umbrella of colleges along with SIBM pune .IT was kind of fortunate for me to have secured the call since this year the paper was tougher than usual SNAP papers and cutoff too came dramatically down by atleast 20 marks. Last years cutoff was 108 marks and this year it was just 86. Being a general category candidate of just 9 months of experience i did not give myself much of a chance initially but then it went about fine.The date was 6th feb 2012.
SCMHRD process was well managed and timely. We were divided into groups and were lead to the room where essay had to be written. Essay topic was same for all groups .The topic for the essay was “Necessity was mother of Invention”. There was only one page given and we had to write our sidkey and then our snap id at the top. Later complete everything in one page only. I wrote about various needs of the society from which invention took place.Like need of fire and from rubbing of stones came fire. From need of knowing of past came inscriptions in the wall however it had limitations like they could not be transported so came books.So from every need came something new.From need to talk over long distance came Graham Bells Telephone and so on.
After the written task we were taken to the GD room. Each group had about 10 members.There were supposed to be two GDs one after another on different topics and both were based on some case study. First topic was “there were 4 personalities who were doing some work on their own in different spheres of life one was running successful ngo,other was a doctor ,other was a engineer who had opened a oldage home, and last one was district magistrate who had done a lot for his community. We had to arrange them in an order based on their achievements and contribution.” . THere was a lot of talking from all group members and each one wanted to make his/her own point and the group soon disintegrated into a choas.Finally we decided to give points and make a sumtotal of it to arrive at a conclusion.But conclusion could not be found.We were given 1 minute to conclude at the end of the debate.
Second GD topic was “merits and demerits of social netorking.” This topic too ended up in chaos but I spoke well for some time in the start. I spoke of need to use dislike buttons incase someone gets wrongly quoted by someone else out of personal bias causing defamation. Regulation of posts in regional basis needs to be done through trusted volunteers. One of the group members started with history of social networking and how it started from pegion age to mordern day.But then he was cutoff before he could make any analogy with mordern methods. Group discussed differences between orkut and facebook.ANd how security was getting compromised. We are asked individually to sum up by giving our algorithm as to how to further make social networking secure. I spoke on introduction of PAN ID and AADHAR ID while registering and that could help control spam and fake accounts.And also proposed introduction of approval system from all involved in the post. other group members came up with points like central and regional monitoring team construction and mandatory use of original self pic with approval from local monitoring teams to get an account etc
AFter the GDs we were asked to go for pi.In my Panel I was the first to enter.
THe Interview process was as follows:
There were two members in the panel both were old.
Panel member 1,” your name is UDDALAK ...what does it mean “
I said, “ it means rising light...it is from a mahabharat name aruni.”
Panel member 2,” so you believe in mahabharat ?”
I said,”yes “
Panel member 1 ,”good to hear so from a mordern day child (smiles). ANyways tell me something about yourself”
I said,” I have passed out from NIT raipur ,one of the esteemed institutes of the country after having done my 10th and 12th from vivekananda Mission school of kolkata.I have a mix of rural and urban societies in my background as i hail from birbhum district of westbengal.This cultural mix have always enabled me to work harder and perform better and jel well with people of diverse economic and social status .After having passed from NIT ,I have worked for birlasoft as a assosiate software engineer and have won 4 awards for the same company namely best project resource,best team award,best creative writer award for an essay and won runners up for corporate gd in the brief spell of time that i have been there. “
Panel member 2,” which is the subject u like most?”
I said,” mathematics”
Panel member 1,” what is the integration of root dx?”
I said,”by cochy reiman theory such an integration needs defined limits to apply fundamentals of convergence”
panel member 2,”ok tell me what was ur role in project was?”
I said,” it was mainly to handle diverse cases on an urgent basis from US clients by detecting software issues and urgently repairing them . It was critical as it was involving direct interaction with the client and could have led to business loss for the company.Hence in appreciation of this the salary component was high.
panel member 1 ,” why mba?”
I said,”while my work in birlasoft ,i had organised many events .IN a few of which i felt that organising events was fun and always involved new challenges. TO be with a team was great experience and a refreshing feeling. I love to write poetry too which does act as a stress buster for the team thus enhances the ease of my team participation further.”
panel member 2,”write one poetry on this page”
i said,” topic please?”
panel member 1,” on us (smile)”
I said,” As i sit on the chair,
Two gentleman sit infront who were fair,
Both seem to shine like angels in white hair,
I feel as if singing in a holy choir. “
panel member 2 .” bravo ! bravo ! bravo! what a superb instant composition ! just call the lady outside who escorted u here”
I went up and called her in .
Panel member 1,” listen please make it a point to print it in our magazine for next session.IT is great poetry.”
I smiled as the lady took my paper and went outside.
I said,” sir anything more u want to ask?”
Panel member 1 ,” tell us about your weaknesses”
I said,” i try to hard at times and feel very stressed up and really really want to see success at any rate.At this times i write poetry to get over it. BUt at times when i am very stressed up i for sometime feel angry with myself.”
panel member 2 ,” what is your biggest strength?”
I said,” i have the strength to overcome my weakness.Besides I write speak well. I am good at numbers. ”
panel member 1 ,” so what your parents do ?”
I said,” both work in public sector banks”
panel member 2 ,” what did u learn from your father?”
I said,” i learnt humility and never say die attitude. My father in his initial days did not have a job because of the emergency period in the 1970s .But after that through a massive struggle he procured one in banks and then never looked back.From clerk then to officer then now manager.Slowly but gradually he had moved on and on.It was his this attitude of slowly taking step by step towards success without compromising on the cannons of morality and giving adequate time to the family too is something which i believe i learnt most. His time management was awesome.
panel member 1,” how did u rate ur performance in the gd ?”
i said,: “ it was good “
panel member 2,” tell me something that u could not do . u have achieved decent marks in all over your career. Tell us what u could not achieve if any”
I said,” I could not crack IIT entrance and that remains something that i feel sad about .All though i have a decent college in NIT which stands only next to IIT and has a huge alumni base which is ever vibrant with highly intelligent people but still IIT was something which i always aspired for.
Panel member 1 ,” what will u give to schmrd when and if u get selected?”
I said,: i will leave behind high quality notes which will help next students and aspirants to make a comparatively easy analysis of subjects and also will leave behind my views on these subjects from a point of new innovation.
Panel member 2 ,” but innovation could have been achieved through gate too..I see here that u have cracked CAT,XAT,SNAP,GMAT,NMAT,IBSAT,MAT ,IBPS all with near 99+ percentiles which is huge achievement .Why not GATE?”
I said,”Sir i feel from real time company experience that MBA would be more valuable for my career than GATE since most work now a days in It companies now is support based .R and D work is limited. So for career growth aswell as self actualisation point of view i believe MBA degree will help me more.
Panel member 1 ,” ok thank you “

IT was my first major convert for the season .
