Admission Experience

Did you avail of the benefit of any reservation?

Tanmay Sinha: “General (No reservation)”

Describe the general setting of WAT / GD (if any)?

Tanmay Sinha: “After getting the call from NMIMS, the 2nd round was the WAT. The time limit was of 20 minutes and the word limit was 250 words. The topic was a very general topic where you had to give strong points on whichever side you stand. During those 20 minutes, I took 6-7 min to think all the points I could think of, and the remaining 10 min I took to formulate a paragraph and type.

Tip: Put more time to think on logical points than to just write senseless ones .”

What was the WAT / GD Topic?

Tanmay Sinha: "Airplane security is getting stricter, but gets discriminating towards people coming from certain regions. They further strip check and do other kinds of checking just for airplane security. Do you think it's justified? (from whatever I can recall)”

What were your answer/points put forward for the WAT or GD respectively?

Tanmay Sinha: “I wrote against the motion (I can not recall)

I went anti-discrimination, but airplane security is Important where simple search can not put other passengers in danger. (Can’t recall further points)”

Describe the general setting of your personal Interview.

Tanmay Sinha: “Mode of the interview was online with 3 panelists on the other side. The interview was more of a conversation than a stress test. I was the last candidate for the interview that day and the first question they asked was 'How does it feel to be last ?' I answered, "Pretty good, I asked fellow people of the type of questions you are asking, and I guess I am ready with them ". They laughed and the interview drifted into a conversation from there . My interview went about 12-15 min

Pro tip: I had time to know the kind of panelists before the interview by asking around, so I molded my behavior accordingly .”

1. NM pedagogy, Corporate interventions, etc (basically all good things about NM)

2. Location advantage of NMIMS.

3. People come here on a Merit basis, unlike IIMs where reservation is in effect. (I am a salesman, Ill sell in whatever way possible :P)
