The next stage:

The next stage will be held sometime in March/April, 2011 according to the FAQ section on its website. Traditionally, the process is held only in Delhi at the FMS campus for about a week or so.  Candidates will be divided into  groups, with every  group having candidates from a single category.

The next stage consists of a Group Discussion and a Personal Interview. The one-minute Extempore which is a unique feature of the FMS process, is a part of the interview.

The verification of the documents is done before the GDPI process. However, the  panellists do not always have a look at the file/documents.

For the Group Discussion, the topic is given by the panel and the candidates are given a minute or so to gather their thoughts. Then there is an open discussion for around 10 minutes. The topics aren’t ‘heavy’ and  knowledge about  recent national and international happenings and statistical data on the country’s economy should suffice.

The same set of panellists conduct the Interview as well.  So, you can expect a few questions about your performance in the  group discussion, during the interview. A feature of the interview is the ‘extempore’ in which, the candidate is asked  to speak on a given topic, impromptu. The topic can be related to the candidate’s name, profession, attire, something mentioned in the SOP or  totally abstract. Depending on the panel, one might be given 10-15 seconds to gather one’s thoughts and then you will be asked to proceed. The extempore can be right at the start of the interview, in the middle or at the end.

The results are generally declared a day after the process ends. Last year, the process was done with on the 31st of March and results were out late into the night.
