Group Interview Experience

Please post your Group Interview experience. It will be fun to share how we faced the music!!

Also, future applicants can take some guidance from the same, although at their own peril ;)

Pre Foundation Course

The Pre Foundation Course (or PFC) is a self-study course designed to ensure uniform proficiency of the participants in basic topics such as Finance, Marketing and Quantitative Methods. It includes both online and offline resources.

It starts on May 18th 2010. There will be a test on campus based on the PFC. According to the Offer Letter, it is mandatory to clear this test. According to seniors, the course and the test are two crucial parts of the program and need to be taken seriously. Also, the test scores contribute to the overall grades and the scoring is percentile based.
