Hi
Got admits from ESSEC,ESCP,EDHEC,Aud nantes,Thought i would share my profile and some interview questions nothing specific but just overall idea and what i feel is important
Brief profile
Elecronics Engineer
First Class Graduate Decent GPA, Decent Extra curricular
GMAT:640
IELTS:8.0
Work exp:TCS India 1 yr, Family BusinessGmat
I think 620 and above is good for all these schools and all SAI schools in france to earn u an interview chance
Interview
Usually was around 5 or 6 Pm indian time
I was dressed in formals( i advise being dressed in formal shirt)
The admission jury can be a single person, three or two peopleUsually program director, Alumni and one student or professor will be present
Share Proper Skype Id and maintain time---usually all were on timeQuestions
Most general and expected were the most frequesntly asked questions
all interviews asked these questions its no big secret its commonwhy Mim?
Why France?
Why our college?
Why this course?Next as interview goes further they start probing your CV
Why did u work here?
If u clear all this properly ur done sometimes additional unexpected questions may come like IRAQ crisis explain what it is and stuff dont worry if u cant answer all that
what did u learn?
What did u learn from extra curricular activities?
something on your project and internship maybe asked
ur main scoring points are these questions
and all these questions are no secret everyone knows these will be asked rightSpecial Points:
this is fair enough u will get through nothing great just reading writing skills
One school asked me to choose a given topic from 2 and write some lines on that
another school sent a pdf sometime before and told me summarize what you read
topics will be generalMy thoughts
DONT LIE
dont lie in your CV, Motivation letter,anywhere try not to lieKeep your story straight, Time and again in your motivation letter, interview you will answer the same questions
why France? Why this school?
Your story better be the same--- so dont knit a story be yourself tell the truthAll are highly trained and very friendly
nothing to worry about
GMAT 700 one of my friends got rejected from ESSEC it doesnt matter if u get an interview thats it
thats all GMAT is one part in the processSorry if the post was long
If anyone found this informative you can comment
If anyone wants to ask anything please doFinally: Mim E book by thomas is a must buy great book
Secondly: This is my way of contributing to the MIM forum thank you all
thank you ThomasThanks and regards

Hi There,
Thanks a lot for the above information. Although i am applying to colleges in Germany for MiM, i guess the questions would be more or less the same.
If you could tell me what type of current affairs i should be knowing in order to be better equipped for the interview since i am not much into reading Newspapers and stuff.
Thanks in advance.

Hi there,
thanks so much for this great post. I think it is very helpful as over and over again question come up regarding the interviews.
Secondly, thanks so much for your feedback on my MIM ebook. I put a lot of effort in it and the goal was to go beyond typical eBooks that "just describe things" - and to provide everyone with an ABILITY to find the right MIM program.
All the best for your studies and please stay with us even during your MIM - wherever you finally will do it.
Best wishes
