Chennai!!!

From Bangalore my mother and I caught shadabdi to chennai... It was raining... Well, i felt like the place was welcoming me :)

So we reached chennai on march 14, 9.30pm... My gd/pi process for iit-m was on march 17th morning...
I was so tired by 14t that i was even telling my mum that we will return home straight frm bgl without going to chennai...

The last time i visited chennai was when i was in the 10th std... But the place has changed so rapidly...

The culture there is very different... complete contrast to the other metros... It has got its pros and cons... You get everything now in chennai... from food courts, to ccds to pizza huts... Now these r the main things which bother me ( food outlets)..

We stayed at my mum's friend's place... We went to the city centre, spancer plaza and t nagar... It was more like a holiday for me... shopping all the way..

On march 17th morning we left for iit-madras.... The campus is so huge... But the department of management studies was near the gajendra circle... So we just had to take the straight road from the entrance...


There was a presentation after the registration.
The group task was conducted shortly. We were divided into groups. The panel was the same for the gt and pi.

The topic for group task was about choosing a political party and how to bring about professionalism in it. We were given 5 minutes to write our points on 1 sheet. Then there was open discussion for about 15 min. There was not much co-ordination. Everyone was adopting diplomatic stands not criticizing any party as such. The prof gave the feedback that no one was assertive and that none of us were straight.

PI was by the prof frm doms and another frm civil engg department.The questions asked were:

Explain the main project.
Whether there is a problem in engineers choosing mba after their engg?
Since I had written interest in hr in my sop, I was asked to explain how much I knew about it.
Compare the hr in a small office to that undertaken by the human resource development in India.
How to eradicate poverty?
Why funds are going wasted even though it has been properly planned?
Which all books do you read?
I was asked the story line of one of the books.
There was a brief discussion on my extra curricular activities.


The interview lasted for 20-25 min. The whole process was very well conducted. The seniors were managing everything very well. They were all very helpful..

After the process, one of the seniors frm kerala took me to her hostel and gave me a tour..
I also met my school mates doing there B.Tech there...

On the whole it was good... But then there is the wait till april 7th...
