This was my second GDPI session after Symbiosis. IBS (don't get confused with ISB) situated in Hyderabad is the main branch of all 12 branches. The seats of this branch are the only one which approved by AICTE. But mind it its ROI is pretty low. For a whooping 12+ lacs fees for 2 years you get an avg. package of 6-7 lac/annum. There are 900 seats announced officially for this particular branch. Its a well known brand in south India. I got a call from this college by giving IBSAT. You don't have to prepare much for the exam. Anyone who's been preparing for CAT can easily crack in this exam.
My GDPI session was on 18th Feb, 2014. A prepaid bus was provided by the college(collected 400 for to and fro, worth the buck). I would advice you guys to opt for the bus as the center is 23-33 km away from the city. We started from Nagarjuna Hills at round 7 am. There are lots of buses from 6:30 to 7:30 am. As an advice try to catch the bus as early as possible, because the first batch that gets there, their GDPI session starts early. We got into the next batch at 11:30 am. We reached the center in 1 1/2 hrs. Till 8:30 am we were at the center. Note that after 8 am nobody is allowed inside the campus even if you come by your own vehicle. Then there was documents verification, which gets over pretty soon. Then each person was given an identification paper. On the back of it a map of the college was provided. The college is very spacious. The place is well organized, there is a lawn in the back of the college, a huge corridor is there in the middle of the academic block. Lot of gap is provided between the main block and hostel. There is a swimming pool also in the campus. In a way of speaking you will get most of the things in the campus itself. One disadvantage is that it is very far away from the city. After the verification we had to wait for atleast 3 hrs for the session to begin. In this time we were allowed to have breakfast(it was self pay service). The snacks was costly though. The infrastructure is very good and it also had engineering college in the same campus.
The session started with a briefing which lasted for 45 min. Till then everybody was tired. Then were sent to various rooms in batches according to the enrollment id. Here a group of 12 members was formed and each group was sent for their respective GD room. There was a round table with scrap paper provided for each seat. There were 2 person in the panel. My topic was "Should services like transport be left to Market forces?". 15 minutes were given for discussion and 1 minute each to summarize. We had a healthy discussion but only 3-4 person were participating while the rest were mum. Then we were given a break for 10 minutes. After the break we were divided into groups of 5 and sent for PI. The PI had 2 panelist-a guy and a lady. One from the technical background and the other maybe from HR department. The technical guy was fun but the lady was very serious. He asked about myself, my future ambitions, strength and weakness. They were mainly asking from the form we filled. So be careful and remember all that written in there. They then asked me about my favorite subject. Asked why do MBA when from technical background, how it will help polish my future. Overall it was a great experience. At 2:30 pm the session was over and buses back to city was taking off. Majority of the students from the commerce and BBA.
