PI preparation Tips: Suggested answers of some common questions in PI

This article provides a few tips and suggested approach to answer probable questions in the PI round

Noida, India (prHWY.com) February 13, 2013 - In our earlier article (http://www.mbauniverse.com/article/id/6678/) on tips to face personal interviews in the final admission round to top B-schools, we have shared how to prepare and face the board. Taking a step forward for the benefit of aspirants, this article provides a few tips and suggested approach to answer probable questions in the PI round.

Questions can either be generalized or specific. They are more or less simple and broad and how you answer them is very important. Here are the probable questions related to your personal self and surroundings to which you belong.

1. Tell us about yourself

Suggested approach to answer: This question should not be answered by telling your bio-data. It is already available in the form that you filled up. Repeating the same will be a waste of time creating a bad impression. Do not speak something stereotyped or something which appears having been practiced before the mirror a number of times. You could narrate some incident highlighting your personality but be brief.

You could also answer like - "Apart from the details in the form submitted, I am a quick learner and learn from mistakes. I believe in human values, a sharp and clear vision of life. I am confident enough that the various levels of learning that I have had till now and will have in this institute will help me to bring out the finest of me which will enhance my competence, aptitude and skills.

2. Why do you like your city?

Suggested approach to answer: Give the positive points of your city. You can tell about its size, places of interest, socio-economic activities, cost of leaving, etc. Say something about the emotional attachment with your city.

The negative points such as frequent power cuts, bad or congested roads and uncivilized behavior of some people are to be placed in a manner that the future appears bright. Do not forget to mention that the past was good enough and the current problems are only because of transition.

Specifically mention what your city needs. It may be all-round development of infrastructure, new educational institutions, government hospitals, health centres, etc.

Please ensure you must know each and everything you speak about your city as it might generate more questions out of the answer presented by you.

3. Are you feeling nervous?

Suggested approach to answer: The answer will depend upon you. If you are perspiring and nervousness is getting reflected on your face, how can you deny? If you are facing the interview for the first time, you can submit, 'Yes sir, since it is the first time I was getting a little apprehensive. But entering the room I am feeling better and am alright now.' If you feel the environment is extra warm, you can convey, 'I am sweating as it is rather warm over here.'

If you are confident enough, still be submissive to the question - "No sir, I look forward to a good session of learning."

4. Tell us about some great personality of your city (living or dead)

Suggested approach to answer: When you come before the interview board, it is expected that you must have prepared well about your surroundings. Every city, town, village has some stories to tell. There must be some people who have done or did great things for your city. Those works may not matter to people outside the city; so in all likelihood, they do not know about that individual.

If the city is a historical one, you may contact the Archeological Survey of India office. They can provide you a lot of information on it.

Please ensure that you are able to answer the contribution made by such personalities to the society and the city, and in cases, to the state and the nation.

If you do not know much about such personalities or any particular person, please do not try to bluff the interviewers. Instead, say politely that you do not know much about him/them except... (Say whatever you know) If you know nothing, please admit that too. Be straight.
