The GRIND begins :

For the sake of brevity, lets call Mr. De as P1, Mr. Dutta as P2 and Mrs. Chatterjee as P3.
As i enter the room, P1 starts speaking.
P1: Well Arindam, so what do u think, how did u moderate the group?
me: I hope, I did a satisfactory job.
P1: We also think so.
The P2 and P3 nod their heads in approval.
P1: (looking at my form) I don't want to ask you any question.
me: (dejected, dumbfounded and thinking - There goes my chance at VGSoM).
P1: Your profile matches exactly wid what we require at VGSoM.
me: (happy but still thinking - kya fek raha hai, pehle makkhan lagata hai..fir mujhe lega bhi nehi..)
P1: So you have around 2 years work experience.. so wud you leave the job, if you get a call from VGSoM?
me: Definitely.
P2: (looking at my form) So, you have work-ex in JAVA. Tell me about the projects you worked upon.
me: blah blah blah (had some preparation on this question)
P2: (looking satisfied, gave the baton once more to P1)
P1: So, tell me Arindam, do you think that work-ex is really needed for pursuing an MBA degree?
me: Yes, I think so.
P1: Why?
me: There is a gulf of difference between what we are taught during our engineering days and what we are exposed to once we enter the industry.So, obviously any work-ex ensures in bridging that gap.
All the while P3 is just looking at me, the way I talk, my body movements. She is not asking a single question at all.
P1: So, after Narendrapur and Jadavpur, you want to complete the hattrick from Kharagpur?
At this juncture, all four of us start laughing.
P1: Ok Arindam you can leave now.
me: I leave the room after thanking all of them.

My interview lasted for around 4-5 minutes, the shortest @Kharagpur.
