If you’re from a creative field or non-engineering background, that’s a huge plus. In GDPI, be upfront about what makes your journey unique. Talk about skills you picked up in design or arts-creativity, fresh perspective, teamwork, handling ambiguity. Show why you want to do an MBA now, and how your background adds value to the batch. Interviewers are honestly bored of hearing the same engineering stories, so play to your strengths and be genuine about your motivation.
