Can someone share his/her NMIMS interview experience?
Here is an NMIMS interview experience of a student who appeared in the year 2018. If you have got calls for both MBA-Core and MBA-HR, this might be helpful for you.
For the written ability test, you'll be given a case and asked to write your views in 10 minutes. For instance, her case was about making it mandatory to own a dog due to an increase in heart patients, and she needed to express her opinion on the matter.
During the interview, you'll be called in one by one to a separate room on a separate floor. The panel generally has 3 members. You should greet the interviewers and answer confidently when they ask you to tell them about yourself.
They might ask whether you are a fresher or working, and if you are in transit, like the student in the story, they might ask why you left your job. Be honest and explain your reasoning. They might also ask what you know about the company you left, and why you left it. Be sure to answer the questions as best as you can, and don't hesitate to ask them to repeat or clarify anything that you don't understand. They might ask you about your hometown, so it's a good idea to know a bit about its history.
When they ask you the reason why you want to pursue an MBA, make sure to have a solid answer. They might also ask you about your understanding of HR, so be prepared to answer that question as well. If you're aiming for MBA-HR, make sure you have a clear understanding of what it entails, as the interviewers might ask follow-up questions. In any case, it's essential to stay calm and composed throughout the interview, even if they ask a difficult question.
In conclusion, the interview experience can be nerve-wracking, but it's essential to stay confident and composed. Make sure to prepare thoroughly for your interview and be ready to answer any questions they might ask. The most important thing is to remain honest and articulate.

The experience stated below is from a friend of mine, who was a 2016 candidate, who scored 211 in his NMAT. The cut-off that year was 208, which means that he was a borderline select.
The points below give a brief overview of his entire experience from the initial selection to his entry into NMIMS.
- Talking about his profile, he had the best four percentage 94.5% in 10th, 91% in 12th, and 78.9% in graduation. He had a lot of extra-curricular participation in his resume and some certification from Trinity College in grade-3 communication skills course.
- The first stage was the Case Study round wherein he was assigned a topic on competition between two brands, Patanjali and HUL (Hindustan Unilever Limited).
- He was given 5 min for reading and thinking, followed by 15 minutes of discussion. There were 12 candidates in total and judged by a panel of 3 men.
- During the discussion, there was a formal introduction and then every candidate got enough opportunity to speak
