What are the interview questions I can expect for my IIM Indore interview?

Interview questions depend on a lot of factors and it is hard to predict what to expect from the interviewer exactly. One of my friends attended the IIM Indore interview a few years back and here is his experience in brief. 

He is a B.Tech in Mining Engineering from ISM (IIT) Dhanbad and he had done an internship with a trading firm and got a final placement with a trading firm as well. Here are some of the questions that he was asked. 

• What is your current location?
• What is your recent educational background?
• Are your placements over?
• Have you been placed?
• What is your job profile?
• Why did you choose to work as a trader (my job) instead of pursuing something in mining engineering?
• What is blast ability?
• What is the most powerful explosive?
• What is powder factor?
• What is black damp?

He was also asked an extempore regarding “Whether the physical mode of education will be undertaken by online mode of education.” Apart from all these, there were some very common questions regarding general knowledge, current affairs. Some of the sample questions are given below.

• What is the carbon footprint?
• What are some good qualities a manager should possess?
• What will you get if you join IIM Indore?
• Where do you see yourself after 5 years or 10 years?
• What are your strengths and weaknesses?
• What is a brand?
• Where do you get your daily news bytes?

Apart from that, you can expect questions from current affairs. So keep an eye for that.
