1. Describe yourself as seen by your parents/siblings, teachers, friends, colleagues & superiors in 5 distinct statements By parents/siblings: Although I am the youngest person in my family my parents always entrusted me and accepted my advice in all the important decisions. This suggests that I am seen by my parents as a person whose decisions are mature and rational enough. By teachers: I am seen as a logical and analytical minded student by my teachers and they always give me the responsibilities for handling the situations in different academic aspects or any other group works. By friends: I am not only in my friend’s happiness but make a point to share their problems. And if I can provide any advice or help I would make them settle and discuss their worries so that it helps them uplift their morale and look at situations optimistically with a good hope. By colleagues:

By superiors

2. Describe your formative years: It was in 12 t h class I realised the importance of achieving something in life when I had a talk with my father. I was very home sick and hence unsettled when my parents made me join in a hostel even if I didn’t want to. I had a talk to my father about not willing to go to hostel. Then he made me realise how important it is to sacrifice temporary happiness to become successful in life. This changed my way of thinking about life and made me a better person.

3. Mention any distinct contributions made to the community by you or your family members During the last summer, my family has gone to a hilly tribal village for vacation. Seeing the plight of the drought areas in the village I was moved when people were bringing water from another far away village. I went to my family and discussed about how our small contribution can change the lives of many families in the area. My family has given financial support to the village people and my father being a civil engineer helped in the process of providing the water facility. He talked

with the district administration and made arrangements for man power and other requirements.

4. Were you part of a team where the intended outcome either failed or exceeded expectations? What was your role? When I was doing my internship in IIT Hyderabad our team was given a dead line to finish the work. We divided the work among ourselves and were completing the work. One of our team mates could not finish his work due to his health problems. So our mentor was disappointed with our team. Then I had taken the responsibility of sharing and completing the remaining work in an hour or so. This helped our team to meet the expectations of the mentor.

5. Have you faced an ethical dilemma

How did you handle the situation?

6. Have you been in a situation where you have brought about any improvements in yourself?

Narrate the experience and the changes that have ensued. Yes, I was in my 1st year of my engineering college when I had to appear for auditions for different clubs of our college. I was very shy, nervous and not confident even though I knew about my capabilities and couldn’t answer anything because of my nervousness. I felt embarrassed and started learning to be self confident and bold from that very day. I took help from various sources like guidance from seniors, and one thing which helped me improve a lot is by watching TED talks. I learnt how these speakers present the topics efficiently with minimal flaws, the way they connect with the audience and their expertise in their respective fields. I may not be perfect in my presentation skills at the moment but I am constantly working on them and am sure will surely come out of an MBA school as a learned and better individual
