PGDBA (IIM Calcutta) Interview Experience🎙️

[@shivanijoshi771]

Nice! i was searching about this exam and came across your video, can you suggest any good source/ mocks for pgdbm as its already jan?

[@raahul42]

Right now, I'd suggest you can do previous year papers. And cover topics you feel you're not confident in from JEE books if you have any

[@shivanijoshi771]

@@raahul42 okay. I have allen modules but topics are way more in detail wrt the exam , i guess. Should i focus on ncert instead? How did u prepare?

[@shivanijoshi771]

Can i DM you somewhere? I have some doubts

[@raahul42]

sure, you can reach out through my LinkedIn. It'll be on my channel page.

Can you please share how much did you score in entrance exam and in interview?

[@18ebelcat._.]

Hello sir, Would you happen to know the dress code for female candidates for the interview of pgdba admission?😬

[@raahul42]

Suggestion from a friend of mine: "I wore indian formal. Ironed suit with a side dupatta, solid cream colour. Best would be shirt and pant"

[@18ebelcat._.]

[@SHRoy-ei5ky]

Binge watching all your vids! How can I get in touch with you?

[@kr.aditya3510]

What are the different profiles offered during the placement? Is it mostly only Data Scientist or Business/Data Analytics based roles as well?

[@raahul42]

Mostly Data Scientists, Data science consultants, Quantitative Analysts etc

[@Still_standing418]

Hey Rahul, I am currently working as a data scientist with 1 year experience, where i have to work in python, powerBI and little statistics, should I go for pgdba course. If yes, then how can i get into it.

[@raahul42]

Hi, it depends on you. If you think the 2 years in the job would be a bigger growth than doing the course you can continue with the job (or switch jobs).

[@saikrishna8328]

Hi Rahul, In 2022, I gave PGDBA qualified for the interview but couldn't do well in it. I am preparing again this year. Can you share your Test score, interview score and overall composite score so that I can just have an idea?

[@raahul42]

Hi Sai Krishna, I got 100 in written, about 31 in interview and not sure about composite score, i guess it was about 70. All the best this time! you'll definitely make it!

[@saikrishna8328]

@@raahul42 Thank you 👍

[@sonalisingh791]

Hi Rahul, Thanks for sharing. Can you also make a video on how can we prepare for the MBA interviews in general. Also pls let us know your profile before you joined PGDBA. I am aiming for next year PGDBA and by that time I will be having 3yrs+ experience in IT . Will that be a problem??

[@raahul42]

Hi Sonali, I may not be the best person for MBA interviews prep, since I tried it only once (without prep). 3 years experience wouldn't be an issue, most ppl in my batch worked for about 3 years before joining PGDBA. I had also worked for a year in IT before joining. Please note that there are points for work ex. And registration opens for this year from Jan 25th, so you can give it a shot to see how it is :)

[@amberjaiswal9887]

Does a commerce graduate can opt for PGDBA? Searching it for many months but didn't find answer anywhere

[@raahul42]

Yes you can opt for it, provided you have done 3+2 years of degree

[@amberjaiswal9887]

It means I have to do masters?

[@ShivamSingh-wg7ox]

Is there any fresher in pgdba program?? Is it really difficult for freshers(with zero work experience) to get admission in pgdba program?? Please Reply!!

[@raahul42]

It is not really difficult for freshers. There are a couple of freshers and people with less than a year of work experience in my batch too.

[@ShivamSingh-wg7ox]

@@raahul42 Thank You🙂

[@WBTMrTOP]

I am also chemical engineering background .plz upload preparing strategies

[@raahul42]

Hi, preparation would be similar to CAT for the syllabus that overlap. For the parts that don't, following material of 12th grade is suggested. You can find preparation strategies online, keep watching I will share what I did to prepare as well.

[@jt-sd2hc]

Only 60 seats per year?😂​@@raahul42

[@varougjaiswal6192]

How and from where did you prepared for PGDBA?

[@raahul42]
