The AI angle is also interesting. With discussions happening around global AI collaboration during the AI Global Summit 2026, I wouldn’t be surprised if interview panels start asking more about AI policy and its impact on jobs and productivity.

One thing I’m curious about for someone preparing for MBA interviews, how deep should we go into reports from sources like World Bank or Invest India? Is it enough to know the key highlights or should we read the full reports?

For most MBA interviews, you usually don’t need to read the full reports from organizations like you mentioned. Interview panels generally expect you to understand the key highlights, major trends, and their implications for business or the economy. If you can explain the main idea and connect it to current policy or industry impact, that’s usually more valuable than knowing every detail from the report.

I like that you included sources like NITI Aayog and International Monetary Fund. Their reports actually help connect policy decisions with long-term economic strategy, which is something GD and WAT topics usually revolve around.

Good reminder that reading business news regularly matters. Platforms like The Economic Times make it easier to follow how budget announcements affect industries and companies.
