Below is the profile and experience of one of the students who has done Mechanical Engineering Graduate from NIT Surat and has given an IIM Indore interview.

Profile - X/XII/B Tech: 95/95.6/84.7/CAT- 99.07, currently working in RIL.

There were only two panelists present during his interview, both of whom were in their forties. They started the interview by asking the student for a brief introduction, including his hobbies, interests, strengths, weaknesses, work experience, and so on. They used to frame other questions about him or his subjects based on the student's responses. They also evaluated his general knowledge, current events knowledge, and mental alertness.

You must review your bachelor's course material, remain informed about world events, see a basic understanding of the nation's economy and finances, and be extremely knowledgeable about your professional experience. Make it a habit to read the newspaper on a regular basis.

One of my friends appeared for the IIM Indore interview in 2020. He is a B.A Economics graduate from Hansraj College. He also worked a few months with a management consulting firm.

Due to Covid-19, the interview got postponed and was taken online. There were two panelists. Here are some of the questions my friend got asked during the interview.

Economics & Technical Questions:

You are an Economics graduate. Tell us what is the difference between monopoly and monopsony?
Give us an example of monopsony.
What is the IS-LM model?
What is Fisher effect? Explain the equation.
Tell us the difference between nominal and real interest rates.
Tell us how Solow was an improvement over the Harrod - Domar model.
What is the normal distribution?
What is neutral monopoly?
What are the two major causes of market failure?

Entrepreneurship and Indian Economy:

What is bootstrap funding?
What is a unicorn? Give some examples of Indian unicorns.
Who was Victor Lustig?
Who is Elon Musk?
Explain a bit about Tesla cars.
Who is our finance minister and chief economic adviser?
Explain the theme of the recent economic survey.

Then he had his extempore. His topic was “Covid-19 has disrupted our lives.” Overall his interview went quite well and he was able to convert the call.
