I was the fourth to be interviewed in the panel. Total 12 candidates were to be interviewed by my panel. The interviews were very short for all people before me (7-12 mins).
There were 2 panelists, one male professor who was about 55 years old, another male professor of about 40 years of age.
I was not asked for the documents which I was carrying and kept those on my lap the whole time. They only asked for my IIMK form which had details about me.

Q8. What is the strategy of Dell?
Ans : Sir you mean product strategy? They repeated the question, and told me to answer in terms of sales. Then they started very minute cross questions ans were not happy wit what I spoke.
Q9: Your company strategy is not good.
Ans: Oh Okay. (In my mind : Sirji java developer hu main, gareeb admi ko kya hi maloom strategy ka.)
Q10. What do you do in office?.
Ans : Told them about my product. One prof said, I don't have a device from your company, so I don't care.( I was stumped.)
Prof : Okay I am done. Other prof nodded.
I was like abhi abhi to shuru hua hai. 3-4 mins hi hue hai sir.. (in my head : ye kya ho raha hai?)

Prof : Ye kya ho raha hai? Acha jao yar tum. Tum kafi pad kar aye ho. Niklo ab. Acha ruko ruko, dost hai kya tumhare IIMK me?
