Now comes our responsibility to help you out in clearing the Group Discussion/Personal interview (GD/PI) to confirm your admission to HPUBS MBA Programmee 2017-19. Here are the detailed Tips & Tricks.
GD/PI Procedure:
1. Based on your Score in HPUMAT, a call letter will be dispatched to the Top 360 students inviting them to participate in the GD/PI to be held on _____ (Date) in Group Number _______ at ________ (Time). The venue is HPUBS Shimla. Normally a group consists of 10-15 students. A person who appears for GD/PI in Subsidized Category can also appear for GD/PI in Non-subsidized provided they receive the Call Letter for the same.
2. Once you reach the venue on the specified date, you will be made to sit in a Room along with other aspirants followed by the Document Checking Process wherein all your original academic certificates will be checked and the Marks as mentioned in the Admission Form will be rechecked to be true as per 10th, 12th & Graduation mark-sheets issued by competent authorities.
3. The students will be called in specific groups for the Group Discussion wherein they will be provided a Case in printing format. A time duration of 10-15 minutes will be provided to study the case & reach a solution.
4. the group will then be sent to the HPUBS Conference Room where a Team of Learned HPUBS Professors will already be seated to evaluate the candidates. The students will be allotted seats and the Group Discussion will start. The students will then be secretly evaluated based on their communication skills, confidence & relevance of their solution to the case.
5. After the GD is over, students will once again be transferred to a Room where they will wait for their turn for Personal Interview.
6. The students will one-by-one be sent to the Director’s Room wherein a Team of Learned HPUBS Faculty members will already be seated to interview the student and test his intelligence, confidence & analytical skills making him fit to be a student of HPUBS.
7. Once the PI is over, the student can leave the department. The results will be declared in the First Week of August 2017 (Tentatively, May Vary).
GROUP DISCUSSION (GD):
Having completed your graduation by now, I take it for granted that each one of you might be aware of what a Group Discussion means. Normally a group discussion is conducted based on a particular current Topic in general terms. But in the case of HPUBS MBA Admissions, GD is based on a Case Study. The students are provided with a printed paper on which a Case is typewritten. 10-15 minutes will be given to study the Case and reach out an appropriate solution to the problem discussed in the Case. The cases provided for study are mainly related to various realms of Management, preferably Human Resource (HR).
>> You Can Practice Case Studies available on the Internet.
PERSONAL INTERVIEW (PI):
Personal Interview is a way through which the interviewer tries to know your inner self by asking you questions relating to you. The Interview Panel would consist of HPUBS Faculty members normally 5-7 in number.
Some questions mainly asked are:
