Mercer would surely be the most spoken word in the campus on 3rd. Rightly so, because everyone had geared up for the big interview. The Mercer folks gave us three questions for the first round. Simple as they seemed, but only when it came to enunciating them in a structure did we know why were we given those questions. My interview was conducted by Muninder Singh. After the one-on-one interview we were asked to sit in groups for a team workshop. It reminded us of the innumerous survival series that are telecasted on channels like NGC. Students had wonderful ideas; some creative enough to make the producers of those survival series think hard enough.
In the second half, Mckinsey shortlisting process was conducted for the remaining candidates. It was one of the most apt exercises for revising one’s finance concept. What made it more interesting was that the project discussed was the extension of our own school. How often do we get a chance to work on a live project, that too for something that we already are a part of? In a nut-shell, it was a fun filled day with a hell lot of learning.
