PI questions
1. Why MBA?
Sir, firstly MBA is something that I want to pursue because it will help me to enhance my
personal growth and to bring a change in my personality and attitude.
Being an introvert I have a kind of fear of public speaking, maybe because I am not so
good with my communication skill, and MBA is something that teaches the art of
language, and that’s how it will help me by getting mentored and trained by the sharpest
minds.
Secondly, it will help me in becoming independent and stable by also giving a career
advancement.
And yeah so maybe 10-15 years down the line after getting mentored, and
understanding the practical know-how by having proper job training, may be it will help
me in achieving my ultimate goal by giving detailed knowledge of business
management.
2. Why MBA after engineering?
The synergy of an engineer and an mba go hand in hand and it is 0ne of the most
desired profile in any industry or organization, having an mba will give me the
confidence to apply my technical-engineering abilities for growth of any organization,
and also mba after engineering will open doors for career opportunity.
3. Why siom?
Being an engineer i was always interested in operation management and siom has
dedicated focus on operation excellence that’s how siom differentiate itself from other
b-school, also siom as an institution have signification community concern like service
to senior citizens, orphanages which will help me learn the aspect of social
responsibility and citizenship value.
4. Why operation management?
Operation is backbone of any organization whether its a manufacturing, providing
service or e-commerce, it is the core function of any organisation, so basically operation
runs the business.
Also a OM guy can work anywhere whether its a consultancy,supply chain, it, banks,
pharma or FMCG. Operation has critical role weather it a slowdown or upturn. moreover
coming from an engineering background and then getting exposure to OM will surely
help to apply my technical-managerial skills for benefit of any industry.
5. Explanation of low grades and backlogs in undergrad.
After finishing my 12th i moved to delhi for pursuing my engineering,its a big city and i
somehow get lost,i have tasted this much freedom for the first time, i ended up not
spending sufficient time and effort on my academics as I do have a time management
issue. I coludn’t balance my freedom and academics at once.
I realised how much of mistake i made in my last year and worked on it that why i could
clear by last 2-3 semester with almost a good score and i also cleared few of my
backlogs. I have learnt my lessons and i ready to grab any 2nd chance that comes my
way. I will not repeat these mistakes again and i am confident i will stick to it.
Hopefully if i get here i will have a good track record while also doing bunch of other
things. I am ready to launch myself again.
6. Why should we select you?
I strongly believed that all the candidates here are deserving and qualified for the
selection, but what sets me apart is that i have the potential of a good learner and i also
have a strong ability and willingness to learn new skills and culture. For instance i have
lived in different accommodations in different places and i somehow managed to always
adopt the lifestyle and culture of that place and also i am someone who always strive to
help others around me and grow together. So yeah i can say that i will put all my effort
in turning myself from a good engineer into best manager.
7. Tell me something about your city. For what it is famous for?
Gaya is a holy city in the northeast of bihar. It is known for 18th century vishupad temple
where rituals for pind dan is performed in order to bring peace and salvation to the
departed souls of our ancestors. It is also known for the birthplace of buddhism as
gautam buddha attained nirvana in this holy site. Gaya has temples of great beauty and
heritage thats make it one of the desired spiritual destination of india. This beautiful city
is surrounded three sides by river and meandering phalgu river.

Nashik is situated on the bank of godavari river which makes it one of the holiest place
for hindus all over the world. The city is also called the wine capital of india as half of
India's vineyards and wineries are located here.
9. How will you add value to our institute?
10. Biggest achievement / biggest failure.
11. Why MBA and not pursue a job?
Sir what i feel is that while working for any organisation or company you have to give
back equally what you have gain and after mba i will be in a better positon to add value
for the company that i will be working for and at the same time it will also work in a
synergistic manner for me as well, i will be able to gain more value and i will be able to
relate better to the business decision that has been made. Also when you are studying
in a college you give your 100 percent of the energy on yourself, on your growth and on
you, so basically mba is 2 years of rapid growth.

13. Why your backlogs are not cleared till now?
when i was pursuing my engineering i had given exams again but i was not prepared
well for my back papers as our regular and back papers are held together so i was more
focusing on my regular examination papers, but later at one point i thought i will clear
these papers when i will be done with my all semesters papers,i was able to clear few
of my subjects and also i am not giving excuse but due the pandemic, our remaining
papers couldn’t held last year but now they are scheduled to be held in the month of
march this year and i am quite preparing well for it and i am sure i will make through it
this time.
