Solid points on the TRAI governance during the extempore. Preventing a duopoly is a very relevant angle right now

you were honest about the US/Canada admits. Most people try to hide it, but transparency usually builds better rapport with the panel as long as you can justify why an IIM makes more sense for your career trajectory

IIM Indore has always been known as the 'academically inclined' IIM, and this transcript proves why. They don’t just ask if you know Electronics; they want you to derive the logic of a Mod 10 counter on the spot. It’s a classic stress test to see if a candidate with 20 months of work-ex has retained their foundational technical roots or if they’ve 'switched off' their academic brain. Excellent way to handle the BJT/MOSFET pivot it’s always better to admit a syllabus focus than to halluincate a wrong answe
