Aspirants who are selected based on their scores in entrance exam are called for group discussion and personal interview round after the announcement of KIITEE Management entrance test results. The final selection is based on performance of the candidates in GDPI, WAT, career marks and their entrance exam scores. Hence, it is mandatory to pass the personal interview round to get a seat in the MBA programme.

Yes, it is mandatory to pass the PI round conducted by SCMS Pune for admission in BBA (Hons) or Global BBA programmes. Those who have passed SET are further called for PI round for final selection. The college prepares the final merit list based on performance of the candidates in both entrance test and personal interaction rounds.

The dates of the GD & PI at SIBM Hyderabad are usually released in the month of February. Moreover, the institute itself conducts GD & PI. The university assigns 10% of the weightage to GD and 30% to PI out of 100%. Candidates must perform decently in both parameters to get admission into the MBA course at SIBM Hyderabad. 

Even if the candidate clears the sectional and overall cutoff in IPMAT exam but does not get shortlisted for the PI round, it means that the candidate is eligible but not among the top-ranked candidates based on the composite score. Such a candidate will not be considered for admission to the IPM programme.

Such candidates can opt for reappearing for the exam next year, as there is no provision of re-evaluation. Candidates can also consider applying to other institutes which accept IPMAT Indore scores, such as NIRMA University, TAPMI, etc. 

In GD & PI, they test your talking skills, ideas, and how well you fit MBA life. So prepare well to speak clear and show confidence in front of panel. You can always refer to videos for better clarity in order to understand how to come around during interviews.
