What does the PI tries to test?

The personal interview process aim to test the 'views' expressed by a candidate during submission of the application or through a free-wheeling discussion around one's bio-data given in the application form."

A few 'knowledge-dipstick' questions on one's basic academic background might also be fielded to assess the depth and accuracy of existing knowledge. A few basic General Knowledge questions may also be asked. B-Schools also give importance to consistent academic performance as it is indicative of academic discipline and ethos one is required to have to survive in the rigorous competition.

According to experts, Personal Interview stresses on the following areas:  

• Goal Clarity 
• Knowledge 
• Communication Skills 
• Personality traits

Why Essay writing test?

B-Schools believe that the admission process of conducting Group Discussion and then Personal Interview has become so predictable that students mostly come prepared and it becomes difficult for the panel to judge their real ability.

That is why; this new trend of conducting WAT instead of GD will help the admission committee judge a candidate in a better way.

Essay writing is something that you cannot improve overnight. It has to be in your habit. For developing a habit of essay writing, you need to practice it on day to day basis. Writing practice is very important, but to develop a habit of analysis is much more important.

If you really want to reach a position where you can write an essay over any given topic, then you have to develop a habit of analyzing each and every situation as well as topic you come across.

Leadership is not an art but a skill

Often it is debated that that leaders are born and not made. These are the arguments of passé, today world has changed. Management taught us how to develop leadership skills. 

Leaders of political arena must not be taken in right perspective because they are not exemplary and they play with emotions of poor’s.  

Honing leadership quality is not an art but a skill which can be learned and devolved. 

MBA institutes impart knowledge so that leaders can be made and these leaders are would be managers who lead by example and open to all criticism but they are winners in any eventuality.

Worrying alone not be sufficient

It is said that a bit of worry is good to push performance or get success, actually sometimes worry works as catalyst to achievement. But this must be supplemented with efforts.

Agreed that anxiety engulfs during GD & PI but other side is that selection panel is looking in you a confident personality and that is the essence of clearing these tests.  

To overcome fear psychosis, practice and habit of reading beyond text books comes handy besides daily regimen of reading news papers. 

Preparation with winning attitude and adamancy of not getting defeated easily will certainly fade worry.
