Beyond CAT: The Interviews (For Admissions to IIMs and Other B-Schools)

Develop yourself into a winning MBA candidate.

Instead of merely learning how to answer certain questions, understand the underlying mechanics of the interviews, and become a genuine candidate fluid at responding to all sorts of questions.

Most interview help books only give general suggestions on how to handle common questions or provide tips about how to conduct yourself during the interview. However, there is always a new question, a different context, a unique interviewer, and a fresh candidate, that is, you. The only thing that does not change is the purpose of the interviews and the mechanics that drive them.

This book explains those mechanics using a simple yet powerful methodology. It identifies key areas of wins that form the basis of interview assessments. On recognizing these areas of wins, you will be able to effectively respond to the spirit of the question and score much better than giving superficial answers

The book suggests an easy and effective approach for interview-preparation based on the concept of areas-of-wins. Using this approach, anyone can carve themselves into a strong candidate highly desirable for any B-School. This is what the interviewers wish to assess – whether you are good enough for their school. Not whether you know the answer to a particular question, or can deliver rehearsed responses, even if, confidently.

The book has been boiled down to 100 pages, with great efforts, to ensure that it only contains the most necessary and to the point information, but everything that you need. It is supposed to be quickly understood, practiced, and referred to as much as needed.

Giving it a sufficient amount of time will make it very useful. Although interestingly, the method suggested can be utilized for a solid fast-track preparation as well, just in case you start late.
