To help you with your struggle through the interview for PGDBA, one of the PGDBA 2019 aspirants, Harshit Goel shared his experience with us. Read his experience and check out how AI Monks helped him during his admission to PGDBA.

Name: Harshit Garg 

Current Designation: SAS Grid Admin 

Current Organization: Barclays 

Work Experience: 18 months 

Your interview location: Mumbai 

Your panel (number of interviewers/their background): 

My panel had 3 interviewers, but don’t know about their backgrounds.

How was your interview? 

My interview was very short; it lasted for only around 8-10 mins. 

The first question that the panel asked me in my interview for PGDBA was about my job profile. One of the panellists checked my documents and read that I had studied Stochastic process in my undergraduate, so he gave me a question to solve on a whiteboard, along with a few follow up questions. Then the last question was about Brexit. Overall for me, the interview was a fun round.

What technical questions (related to analytics/machine learning) the panel ask? 

No, the panel did not ask any technical questions in my interview for PGDBA.

What mathematics/statistics questions the panel asked? 

2-3 questions on Transition Matrix and absorbing state.

Did the panel ask you questions on general awareness or general knowledge? 

Yeah, the panel asked me questions about Brexit and what options Britain had for Brexit. 

Did you feel that your interview was a stress interview? 

No, it was rather fun for me.

How did you prepare for the entire process- written exam, application, and interview?

For the written exam, I was well versed with mathematics, and the WhatsApp group study helped a lot and for English, I prepared Para Jumbles and Word meaning from a book. 

In application, there was nothing to be worried about; they just asked about my career goals.

For the interview, AI Monk conducted a mock interview which gave me a good idea about how the interview was going to be and helped me prepare on the back of feedback of the mock.

If you were following AI Monks during the preparation, did you feel AI Monks was useful at any point in time?

Yes, it was very much useful for mocks as they provided many suggestions about the same. 

As a suggestion, there can be improvements in preparation for the written exam- posting the questions daily will definitely help the students prepare in a better way. However, it is voluntary, so even encouraging students to discuss on the social media groups is enough.

We hope this interview experience helped you reach one step closer to your goal.
