I literally waited for the whole of my time slot, waiting for the screen to pop open. At one point, I was checking the dates and time if I had seen it right. I would say just wait for them, they will come eventually.
There were two panelists- two male professors, one in the 40s and the other in the 50s. ( M1, M2 respectively). I will denote myself with P.
M1 did not ask anything, he was just pacing right to left.
M2: Hi Sanjana
P- Good afternoon sir.
M2: Good afternoon! No, wait it's almost good evening.
P: (Almost taken aback) Umm. Yes sir, Good evening.
M2: Tell us something about yourself.
P: Told well-prepared answer. But for some reason, they did not ask anything so I blurted out a thank you.
M2: You finished the interview already ( Both laughing like crazy)
P: No sir, I just…….( Laughed with them a bit)
M2: What are your fav subjects?
P: …..( Was about to Ans when)
M2: Are you in your final year or done with your degree?
P: Sir, Final year.
M2: Ok, tell me your favorite subjects.
P: Macroeconomics and microeconomics sir.
M2: Which topics in macroeconomics?
P: IS-LM model sir. (Honestly, I couldn't think of any except this.)
M2: Why do you like the IS-LM model, it's so monotonous. (laughing)
P: Sir, this was a different type of model, we read this for the first time during our grad. Our teacher gave practical examples like demonetization to explain it….( was going to say more)
M2: Explain in really short, demonetization effects through IS-LM.
P: Told. Made a little mistake. Smiled. Answered right one.
M2: Gave a long story on how I was wrong.
P- Told that he was right to a certain extent, but explained my rationale behind the answer. (He seemed satisfied)
M2: Won't there be any change or shifts in the curve.
P: Said no because there is a change in money supply and financial market.
M2: He said why? Haven't you read the transmission mechanism. What is it?
P: Told.
M2: Why is LM curve upward sloping?
P: Told.
M2: No, that is not right. Why will interest rise induce the money supply to be less?
P: Told (seemed okay then)
M2: You like micro right?
P: Yes sir (Thinking he would ask more)
M2: Any other IIM calls?
P: Yes sir
M2: Which?
P: Told
M2: Thank you, you can log out.
Overall an okay experience, could have been better. It was kind of stressful during some points, but honestly, you don't feel a lot in 6–7 minutes.
Verdict: Converted.
