PI is final step for MBA admission



The Personal Interview is the last step of the selection process for an MBA admission. So, make the most of it by preparing well for it. Remember that you don’t get a second chance if you don’t perform well in the Personal Interview.

So, go through the list of ‘Dos and Don’ts’ carefully and exude confidence and enthusiasm during the interview. Ensure that you arrive at the interview room at least 10 minutes before your interview. And dress appropriately for the interview. According to Forbes, you only have seven seconds to make a good and a lasting impression. And in the first seven seconds, an interviewer will judge you based on your handshake, eye contact, and confidence level. 

Either have a mock interview session with your peers or practice before a mirror before going into the interview room. As the saying goes, ‘practice makes perfect’, by rehearsing several times, you will automatically gain confidence, and you will not make mistakes during the Personal Interview.

So, maintain your poise and convince the interviewer that you are up to the MBA challenge. Once you clear the Personal Interview, you will be one step closer to becoming a successful business leader.

Maintain respectful tone in PI



Many candidates have excellent and interesting content to share with their interviewers but because of their incorrect tone, they do not clear the Personal Interview round. 

While answering a question, it is important to vary your tone. Do not sound monotonous. This indirectly conveys to your interviewer that you are bored with the interview.

You need to show enthusiasm in your voice. Keep your voice alive by matching your facial expressions with your content in PI. Also, if your natural voice is shrieky and high-pitched, tone it down a little. 

In PI, speak in a lower register of your voice to sound friendly, mature and confident. Many candidates have the tendency to speak quickly when they are nervous. Remember that when you speak quickly, your interviewer might miss out on important information. So, speak at a normal speed and keep your sentences short and crisp to be successful in PI.
