Hey Dhanush, IIMC is known for witty and wacky interviews. The topic of discussion can range from anything - depends on the panelists. The main thing according to me would be whether the candidate is candid and if he/she thinks out of the box on the spot. You need to look convioncing and your answers should not be quintessential. Most importantly, remember that the panelists are interviewing many similar candidates in limited time. Hence, it is important to stand out and keep the conversation engaging.

There is no generic format as such. But, often on the social media based on previous experience there is a narrative or a vague idea on what each B-School tries to test. For instance, most of IIMB questions give importance to professionalism, initiative taking. IIMC gives importance for people who are street smart, and high probability of puzzles. Expect to be grilled on ur undergrad syllabus in IIML interviews, even if it is irrelevant to ur postgrad. Just be urself in the best form is all. Prepare well.

Hey Anwesha, good question. It is important to listen to the panelists completely and rebuke politely. Of course, standing your ground is paramount and often panelists test that. But, stnad your ground with humility. Something like " I believe that is right but if you say it is wrong, I shall go back home and check it". Attire needs to be formals. Tie is not mandatory. Even suits isnt mandatory. Avoid rolling up the sleeves. Sitting posture needs to be erect and confident. Very important. Panelists do observe your body movements. Furthermore, try not to deflect questions even if it is crazy. Be candid and give criticism in a professional way. But do not reek of arrogance and not also of timidness.
