There was some connection glitch from my side, so my interview was interrupted a couple of times in between. Overall the length of the interview was around 25 minutes. The panelists were quite supportive, polite, and witty throughout the interview. So, I felt more or less like regular communication and easier than my mock interview at AI Monks.

They tested me more on Mathematics and the side of the Current affair. The most unpredictable part was they didn’t ask any Stats questions and even just one ML question, though I did have a few months working in ML and Deep learning models.  

Questions from Mathematics were easy to moderate and intermediate level. Current affairs and the following questions were on the expected lines. Overall, a decent interview.

 As I mentioned that I work for Tokyo based bank, so they asked me –

  1. Recent major events of Japan (Shinzo Abe stepping down)
  2. How does the Bilateral relationship will get impacted because of the stepping down of Shinzo abe?
  3. Some factual questions about Tokyo like the number of companies listed in the NIKKEI index and major contender for the post of PM
  4. As I belong from Bihar and Bihar assembly elections is going to happen in a couple of months, so they asked few questions regarding that –
  • What is the probability of Nitish Kumar to become CM?
  • What are the external factors that will affect the probability?
  • How can you help Nitish Kumar to become CM by working as his election strategist?

Ques. Please mention specific HR questions asked in the PGDBA 2020 Interview.

Ques. Please mention anything else that formed part of your interview but not covered above.

Some basic electronics questions –

  1. Draw EX-OR gate 
  2. Difference between electrical and electronics equipment.

Ques. Any suggestions for the next year batch?

Don’t just expect Data Science and Machine Learning questions during the interviews because even when I worked in developing various ML and Deep Learning models and was quite good prepared in Stats, I didn’t get any single question in the interview. 

Try to be genuine and have a broader view of everything you did in the last 4-5 years.

Also, try to score as much as possible in writing itself, considering the interview is quite unpredictable.

Ques. How did AI Monks help you in your overall preparation? Also, any suggestions/feedback for AI Monks.

I am satisfied with the content available on the AI Monks website, and only one concern like mock interview should F2F not over the telephone. Thanks for your support team, AI Monks.
