I attended a lot of interviews before this but the interview at IIITB seemed special. A little bit of tension and the joy to be in Bangalore balanced my psyche as my brother parked the car in the parking lot. He was my cousin’s friend who was there to accompany me as he himself was a student of IIITB . Nevertheless, both of us went to the help desk located at the main gate where I had to verify myself as me. Then we were handed over a paper which listed all the process that was going to be held and was directed to the main building. Impressive as we already knew what all we had to do without any problem.

GRE (Graduate Record Exam)

           Hey guys if you are on the verge to appear GRE and want to gather some info regarding the exams, then you are quite at the right place. Now what I will share with you is completely from my personal experience as I myself appeared the test on 12 April, 2011. The first and the foremost thing I must share is that you must be damn serious about the exam as it’s not a child’s game. You need to be focused as the English will surely give you nightmares. But in the process you will get a better hold of the language. Especially for non English speaking students, you really need to work hard. When I appeared the exam, I had to memorize a 3000 wordlist prescribed by Barrons, the best book for GRE. As soon as you decide to prepare for the test, go and grab the book. Now in the new pattern, things are made much easy as you do not need to memorize so many words. Still a hold of the language is necessary.  The quantitative part remains almost the same, though they are pla
