PANELIST2: OK assuming a constant cross-section, constant velocity and no height difference. Then will there not be any pressure drop?
Candidate: Sir there can be a pressure drop due to friction.
PANELIST2: Exactly. That is what I wanted to know. So why does friction result in pressure drop? How is that expressed mathematically?
Candidate: *Wrote the equation, though not very sure of the constant terms*
PANELIST2: Are you sure?

IIM-I Real Interview Experience 2
Date: 18th March 2021
Time slot: 10:00 AM, Actual: 10:25 AM – 10:45 AM, About 20 minutes
Panel 5: 2 Males
Background: CA with 2+ years of GenMan experience in a startup
(Amicable panel, but they were taking a lot of pauses between questions, almost as if they weren’t sure what to ask. Do keep your ID proofs ready for verification at the beginning.)
M1: (after I showed them my PAN) Tell me Aakruti, what do the letters in your PAN denote?
AF: Sir, I am unsure of the first four letters but the fifth one denotes the name of the assessed. That is why in my case, it is F.
M1: Very well. Introduce yourself.
AF: (did the spiel, he seemed very interested and was reacting to stuff – ‘ooh nice’, ‘impressive’)
M1: That is a very versatile profile you have Aakruti.
AF: (unsure what to say, because compliments in an interview do sometimes lead into difficult questions) Thanks sir.
M1: So, you are a CA, when did you qualify? (Answered, 2019) And you’re from Poddar college in Mumbai, that is a very good institution. What year was that? (Answered, 2017)
Who are you working with right now? (Answered, Xtreme Media. Had already spoken about my profile and a couple projects I had handled there.)
M1: That is quite a leap, from being a CA to doing work that is not traditionally that of a CA.
AF: Yes sir, it was a conscious decision on my part. My parents are entrepreneurs and they have always been a big influence on me. After article ship, I decided I needed to have a more holistic experience and do a deeper dive into business ops.
M1: Wow, impressive that you see entrepreneurship as a goal. Why do this course at all? You should start up and then come to IIM Indore to recruit people, not the other way around. (Everyone laughed)
AF: But sir, while these two years have been invaluable in shaping my goals, they have also made me realize that there exist quite a few work points, both for me as an individual and as a potential leader. Looking at the journeys of the businesses I have been exposed to, my parents’ and my current employer, I do see areas where a management education would enhance my abilities to tackle those situations
better. Hence the decision for this course.
M1: Alright. You seem quite focused. Can I ask you some commerce related questions?
AF: Sure sir.
M1: Rapid fire: (could answer all of these, someone up there likes me.)
(1) Tell me what PE Ratio is (MPS/EPS – uses, what it denotes)
(2) What is the Modigliani-Miller Theory (capital gearing has no effect on earnings)
(3) The other day, I overheard a CA and a person who worked in PE talking to each other. PE guy said, “You CAs only look at ROI, ROE, ROCE and all. But we look at multiples – 5x,10x.” Any idea what he was talking about? (Answered that since this is a PE professional, he’s most likely referring to the EBITDA multiple of a startup. Explained why this is a better metric for startup valuations, and that we would
have to look at the exact industry he was referring to, to infer more about it.)
(4) What is a Long Form Audit Report (LFAR)? Spoke about the context of bank audits, detailed asset analysis and vulnerabilities. Did not know much about format etc., did not tell him this.) (M1 passes the baton to M2, whose internet is glitchy.)
M2: Hello Aakruti. So can you tell me a bit about ‘pumping profit’.
AF: Sir I haven’t heard about this term but, what I can infer is that it refers to the overstating of profits to show better than actual performance, a sort of window-dressing.
M2: Have you heard about Toshiba?
AF: Yes.
M2: Toshiba had been involved in pumping of their profits a while ago.
AF: I’ll read up on this sir.
M2: Okay, do you know about what happened at Enron (answered that I was unaware of details, but it was a case of whistleblowing on the top management over window-dressing the company’s results).
M2: What about the chit fund scam in India? (Said I knew what it was but would need to refresh the details.)
M2: Thank you, You may Leave Now…

Personal Interview: The panel had 3 male members (PANELIST1, PANELIST2 and PANELIST3)
PANELIST1: Tell me something about yourself.
CANDIDATE: Answered. Was interrupted within 15 seconds.
PANELIST1: So you’re a chemical engineer. Tell me about your favourite subject.
CANDIDATE: Talked about the subject of Plant Design and Economics. Described how the design is done, how the costing is done, profitability analysis as well as about the techniques like HAZOP, SIS etc. Talked about how we got an opportunity to explore industrial disasters such as Chernobyl, Bhopal Gas Tragedy, Three Mile Island etc from a chemical engineering perspective.
PANELIST1: Okay. Tell me about the Bhopal Gas Tragedy from the economic point of view.
CANDIDATE: Tried to explain the financial scenario which was a reason for cost-cutting and indirectly the reason for the tragedy.
PANELIST2: No no this is the finance of it. Tell us about economics.
CANDIDATE: Sir, isn’t finance a subset of economics?
PANELIST1: Not exactly, but okay let’s move on.
PANELIST3: So are you good at mathematics.
CANDIDATE: Sir I would say I am decent.
PANELIST3: Okay do you remember 12th standard calculus.
CANDIDATE: Sir it is a bit rusty but I can try.
PANELIST3: *wrote two questions on a piece of paper* ∫3−2∣x−1∣⋅dx∫−23∣x−1∣⋅dx and limx→3x−3×2−9limx→3x−3×2−9
CANDIDATE: Solved both.
PANELIST2: Okay since you are a chemical engineer, you must be familiar with Reynold’s Number.
CANDIDATE: Yes sir, I know it
PANELIST2: Okay, explain it to me as if I am a layperson.
CANDIDATE: Tried to give the definition. Explained its relation with turbulence and laminar flow. Tried to explain the laminar flow and turbulent flow. Explained viscosity and density. However, they were not convinced.
PANELIST1: This is still not something a layperson will understand. Tell me the main reason for using it.
PANELIST2: Okay leave that. Let’s move on to the non-technical questions. Where are you from?
CANDIDATE: Sir I was born and brought up in Nagpur, the geographical centre of India.
PANELIST2: Okay. Who is the MP from Nagpur?
CANDIDATE: Nitin Gadkari
PANELIST2: What is his portfolio?
CANDIDATE: Answered.
PANELIST2: Suppose you are walking down the street. You see Nitin Gadkari. You talk to him for 1 minute. You can tell/ask him anything you want. We don’t care if you ask for his daughter’s hand in marriage **smiles at PANELIST3* You have 30 seconds to think and 1 minute to talk. Your time starts now.
CANDIDATE: *jotted down all the points in the given 30 seconds and started*
Before beginning, I must say that asking Mr Gadkari for his daughter’s hand would be rude as she is already married… Afterwards, I talked about the Metro in Nagpur and his views on it as Transport Minister. I asked about the situation of the Vidarbha issue which has now lost steam. Talked about the farmers’ suicides in Vidarbha and a few questions about the General Elections 2019.
*All three panelists looked satisfied. *
PANELIST2: If you say all this to Gadkari Ji he will say you’re the youth. You should give me answers, not questions.
PANELIST1: Okay tell me about the heritage of the Mughal dynasty.
CANDIDATE: It begins with Babur who came to India from Fergana in 1450. He was succeeded by his son Humayun who briefly lost his throne to Sher Shah Suri but regained it and then the throne went to Akbar. After that it went to Jehangir, followed by Shah Jahan in whose reign the Taj Mahal was built. Shah Jahan was followed by Aurangzeb who was the main adversary of Shivaji Maharaj. I do not
remember the emperors in between but the dynasty ended with Bahadur Shah Jafar who was a revolutionary in the 1857 Sepoy Mutiny.
*I could see that all three panelists were really impressed as even I did not expect that I would remember all of this in detail. I was kind a sure that I was in the moment I answered this question*
PANELIST3: What is the population of Nagpur.
CANDIDATE: Told the figure according to the 2011 census.
PANELIST3: So less? What is the population of Maharashtra then?
CANDIDATE: Sir I don’t know that.
PANELIST3: Okay try to guess. What is the population of Mumbai?
CANDIDATE: I don’t know sir.
PANELIST3: Guess toh karo
CANDIDATE: Guessed (way less)
PANELIST3: Okay so how many districts are there in Maharashtra?
CANDIDATE: Sir I think it is somewhere around 40.
PANELIST3: So many? Do you think one state can have so many districts? How many districts do you think are in India?
CANDIDATE: Guessed 300
PANELIST3: So what fraction of India’s districts is in Maharashtra?
CANDIDATE: around 1/7th
PANELIST3: Okay then assuming uniform population in all districts, what is the population of Maharashtra?
CANDIDATE: *calculated*
PANELIST3: Now assuming 40 districts in India, what is the population of a district in Nagpur?
CANDIDATE: *calculated and it was way more than the population of Nagpur that I had mentioned*
PANELIST3: So… your estimate is way off the actual scene. Where do you think did you go wrong?
CANDIDATE: Sir I am confident about my calculations and the number of districts in Maharashtra so I guess it must be the total districts in India.
PANELIST2: Yes. The total number of districts in India is somewhere around 800 and the number of districts in Maharashtra is 43.
CANDIDATE: Okay sir.
PANELIST2: Okay. Thank you have a good day.
CANDIDATE: Good day to you too sir. Thank you!
