Hello, IIM interviews are not at all easy and requires heavy preparation to actually convert the calls. I got 14 IIM calls last year & I converted 13 of them and then finally took admission in IIM Ranchi. One should be thorough with his/her profile school, college, graduation, work experience, extra curricular, internship experience etc. ). If you are not thorough with your profile then you lost the battle here itself. After that you should focus on some common interview questions, there are various lists over internet about this and most important question among this is Tell me something about yourself. This question can either make or break your whole interview. Ideally you spend a lot of time in framing this answer and you should keep refining it every time, try to give as many pointers as possible in "Tell me about yourself answer. The answer should neither be too long or too short and avoid using any fancy in this answer. The answer should sound natural and not a made up one. After this focus on Current Affairs read about your interest areas and you should be well aware of local, national and international news. Along with this brush up your academics especially fresher aspirants. Keep all your answers concise and clear enough. During interview take a pause of 510 seconds to frame your answer and do not speak immediately like a puppet. Never Ever argue with panelists and never cut them in between. Practice about interviews by giving at least three mock interviews. All the best!
