Personal Interview:
Panel Members Intro : P1 (A recent alumni of IIM-B), P2-Lady (An IIM-B Prof)

I had read before on PG that IIM-RRRT PI's involved of a lot of questions on Mathematics.. So, I had downloaded CBSE Maths textbuks of Class-11th & 12th jus days before & had mustered courage to study whatever little i could..But, on the contrary, in my PI, not a single question was asked from Maths or even B.E. acads..  
P2 : Why MBA?
Me : Blah blah blah..
P2 : Career Goals?
Me : Blah blah blah..
P2 : Do u feel ur GD cud hv been better?
Me : Yes, Ma'am..
P1 : In what ways u cud hv improved ur GD?
Me : Told some points on which I cud hv elaborated more but, for a guy from NIT Trichy, who was consistently trying to barge into me & my points..
P1 : Can u tell me that point now in 2 lines?
Me : Told..
P1 : Are u an angry kinda person? U don't seem to smile much.. Smile a li'l for us..
Me : No, Sir.. not at all.. Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeee..
P1 : C'mon smile some more..
Me : Sir, this is my natural smile.. Can't smile more than this..
P2 : What calls u hv?
Me : Told..
P2 : U hv nything to tell us?
Me : Tell u or Ask u ma'am..
P2 : Okk.. Nything u hv to ask us?
Me : In IIM Trichy's Admission Notification, I saw that they would be emphasizing more on experiential learning.. rather than rot learning.. What do u mean by "Experiential Learning"?
P1 : Well, experiential learning means learning through case-studies, etc..blah blah blah..
P2 : Anything else..?
Me : No, Ma'am..
P1 : Okk Akash.. See You..(Both P1 & P2 shake my hand)..
Me : Thank u..

Overall, a very chilled out panel.. Had a very nice & healthy chat.. No grilling on acads.. Nothing..!!!!!!!

An Added Bonus: The Director of IIM, Trichy came to foresee the Proceedings.. He told us regarding the Summer Placements scenario in the institute.. the emphasis on practical learning, etc.. 31 companies hv already confirmed participation in the 2012 summer placements in IIM, Trichy.. Also, the infrastructure there is gonna be mindblowing wid access to every facility of NIT, Trichy..
Note - IIM, Trichy will operate initially from inside the NIT, Trichy Campus..
