(Told and mentioned the increase from 5 lakhs to 7 lakhs exemption and that it will benefit 1 crore people if they decide not to opt for deductions) F1: So if we collect less tax how will the economy benefit from it? (Said that people will have more money with them for investment should have said more spending power*) F1: I was travelling in Uber yesterday and the cab driver said that he will cancel the booking for the app and i should pay him with cash. If you were in the top management at Uber what would you do? (I will talk to him and try to understand why he is doing so) F1: you know why he is doing so. He wants to keep all the money in his pocket and he has a family to feed. (Ma’am in that case I would have to lay him off as he has acquired a customer through my website/app so what he is doing is not ethically correct could have mentioned giving a warning) F1: how can the unorganised businesses be monitored. They earn in crores but don’t pay taxes. (Ma’am in my knowledge there is no such policy as of now but with the digitalization and increase in UPI payments where a part of their earnings go directly into the back, that part can be monitored) F1: what do you do in your free time (Told, no cross questions)

All this while M1 was going through my documents M1: Tell me 5 of your favourite subjects (Told, he picked macro economics i was so happy as that was the only subject i was comfortable with) The entire conversation with M1 was a to and fro conversation about the Indian economy I cannot remember it in sequence so I’ll put some points of the conversation. • Spoke about the growth of the economy, how it is one of the fastest growing economies and how all economies are starting to get on par with the pre COVID level but India is on its path to surpass it. • Mentioned that this growth is because of the large amount of domestic consumption. • M1 said that as you mentioned domestic consumption there are three types of economies consumption based, export based, investment based. Classify. I gave an example of china in export based and explained it. I explained investment based but couldn’t think of an example. •M1 asked if US is consumption based or investment based. I said I didn’t mention US as i wasn’t sure if it is investment based or consumption based but if i had to take a guess i would say it is investment based (it is consumption based) • I mentioned how the FII are pulling out their money from the India market and putting it in the Chinese market as Indian market is overvalued at its P/E ratio touched almost 18-20% as compared to China which has a P/E ratio of just 10%

Some more cross questioning was done on the Indian economy

M1: That’s it from our side, thank you. F1: You can take a chocolate from the Bowl.

The interview went on for 18-20 minutes.

IIM Shillong Interview Experience 17

5/02/23 Background – Bcom fresher. GD : same as the chocolate case study mentioned above. PI : 2 panelists : 1M 1F M was PhD marketing and F was PhD HR (I think) First F started with tell me about yourself. In the answer I mentioned something about completing a course on blockchain. So she asked me quite a few questions on blockchain,smart contracts, cryptocurrencies,etc. This was pretty easy. Then M started asking about acads and tbh he didn’t really know much about cost and works accounting (my specialisation) so he just googled some random stuff to ask. Couldn’t answer much . He also asked about economics. Gave me a list – GDP , GDP per capita, GNP, GNP per capita, PPP, HDI, Happiness index. From above list which is the best indicator of the state of an economy? I wasn’t sure so went with GDP. So he asked is it possible that a country has high GDP and at the same time is in a bad economic condition? I said yes and mentioned a few points like inflation and disproportionate distribution of income. He asked me what if country has high GDP and high population at the same time? GDP per capita would be low. So now what do you think is the best indicator of Economy? Said GDP again but not really sure. Asked me what does the equation MR=MC indicate – Profit maximization strategy or sales maximization strategy? And some other questions on acads I don’t really remember right now. M grilled everybody a lot on acads. So make sure you know acads well even if you have a lot of work experience..

One thing that was common for almost everyone there was that they are asking on Acads and GK Current Affairs (can be around  till 6 months old as well). So a suggestion to be updated with it.

All the best guys !

The IIM Interview Transcript of Vithal Kaligotla is as follows:

2 male panelists (Lets call them M1 , M2 and myself “ V ”)

M1 : What is happening in Telangana? Why are the Covid-19 cases rising?

V : Sir the initial testing was low in Telangana and as per yesterday’s health ministry reports, Telangana stood first in wastage of vaccine. So, all these factors are promoting the spread.

M1 : Have you heard about this school in the news where inflections were so high?

V : Sir I haven’t heard about it.

M1 : Tell me something about yourself that is not in the form

V : Swimming, Gardening and cooking.

M1 : What can we humans learn from plants?

V : Sir we can learn sustainable life from plants. Plants also teach us to live with humility.

M1 : What is sustainable living?

V : It’s a responsible way in which a species evolves such that every aspect of its life functions is useful or at least not harmful to other species in the biosphere and environment.

M1 : Name one Indian, who was inspired by the nature and contributed greatly to the country?

V : Talked about Saalumarada Thimmakka and her Padmashri award.

M1 : No, tell me one name in the fields of education and research

V : Sir over the top of my mind, I can only think of M S Swaminathan who is the architect of green revolution in India through hybrid farming.

M1 : Where and when did green revolution happen in India?

V : Sir Punjab and Haryana are two states that benefitted the most from green revolution. It happened between the 50’s and 60’s. (I wasn’t sure of the years)

M1 : What is the difference between information and knowledge?

V : Sir information is just data which need not have any meaning whereas knowledge is awareness, making sense of the information and ability of drawing conclusions from that.

M1 : Can you give a real-life example?

V : Sir if you go to  myactivity.google.com  you will find everything Google has on you as a user. Right from web searches, app usage to voice recordings. We can only see that information, but only Google has the knowledge to integrate that information into an advertising business model.

M1 : What do you think of the farmer agitations?

V : Sir I support their protest for inclusion of MSP because food is a necessity and its producer should have a minimum guarantee for his/her crop. But at this point it turned into more of a political debate rather than what’s good for farming community.

M1 : So, what do you think of your state bifurcation (Andhra Pradesh and Telangana)?

V : Talked about the prepared points about the bifurcation, state reorganization act 2014 and common capital issues etc.

M1 : Are you from Andhra or Telangana?

V : Sir I was born and brought up in Andhra. My education and professional life are in Telangana. So, I consider both as my states.

V : Fiction novels

M1 : Name an author you like and some of his books?

V : Dan Brown. Talked about his Professor Robert Langdon series.

M1 : Why do you think India’s GDP is lagging in the recent years?

V : Sir as foretold by former RBI governor Raghuram Rajan, Demonetisation though a well thought out plan had detrimental impact on our economy due to poor execution. We are witnessing it’s after effects. And one more reason being lack of strong manufacturing sector like China. I think our government is trying to address that with Atma Nirbhar Bharat.

M1 : I am done, M2 you may take over.

(Here comes the bloodbath!!!)

M2 : What is your current role in project?

M2 : What is the difference between lithium ion and lead acid battery?

V : Talked about durability, compactness and efficiency of lithium batteries compared to the other. It’s uses in EVs like Tesla and mobile phones

M2 : No tell me exact chemical reaction.

V : Sir I don’t know.

M2 : What is difference between IC and power circuit?

M2 : Name some manufacturers of ICs in India?

M2 : What are the electronic components in car?

V : Talked about sensors and radio.

M2 : What is ABS?

V : Anti-locking Braking System

M2 : What is ECU?

V : Sir I am unable to recall (I couldn’t remember Electronic Control Unit at that moment)

M2 : You don’t seem strong in your graduation subjects.

V : Sir I am not going to debate that; my interest was in communications and I don’t have much liking for electronics.

M2 : What are your extracurricular activities?

M2 : What are different styles in swimming?

V : Butterfly, Breast-stroke, Free style.

M2 : What style are you comfortable with?

M2 : Name some famous swimmers.

V : Vikram Khade from India, Matt Biondi from America, Michael Phelps, also from America and currently holds the all-time records for Olympic gold medals. (Thank God, at last some prepared questions)

M2 : What is the style of Mr. Khade?

V : Sir I think it’s free style.

M1 : Do you have any questions for us?

M1 : That will be all. You may leave the meeting.

V : Thank you sir, good day

How to Write Who Am I Essay

“Who am I?” Human beings are the only creatures on the planet who can ask themselves this question. Other animals don’t have problems with self-identity. Lions, dolphins, and zebras don’t ask questions. They just try to survive in this cruel world. But we can’t live without inventing problems regularly. That’s why the question, “How should I write my essay about who I am?” is so popular.

In truth, we like digging in our heads and souls, looking for answers. We genuinely believe that our actions and feelings have a logical explanation, and every habit or trait has its root. Maybe we’re doing everything right. Maybe we care too much. Yet, we are here not to debate but to find out how to write my college essay about “Who Am I.”

First, let’s figure out when to write my assignment on the “Who Am I” topic.

When do you need a “who am I” essay

In short, you might need a “Who am I” essay for college, for work, for your bio, or simply for yourself. When you write it for yourself or for your bio, you don’t have any particular purpose but self-analysis. Sure, there are no concrete rules or requirements, and you can write it the way you want (or pay for essay to get qualified help and save your time).

But when it comes to work or college, everything is a bit more complicated. Your “Who Am I” essay can become a part of the application process or job interview. An employer or an admissions committee can look closely at your personality through your writing. Your essay has to convince them that you’re the best candidate for the scholarship or the job. Thus, you need a few tips on how to write my personal statement to make a good impression.

10 “who am I” essay ideas to amaze your readers

We’re sure that your personality is outstanding, and colleges and companies should fight for your excellence. But they don’t know about it yet. Even the sweetest candy and the most interesting books needs a bright cover to be noticed, right? Make your “Who Am I” essay sample so brilliant that nobody can resist the temptation to meet you personally and learn more about you.

1. Be honest, but delicate

Admissions officers and hiring managers read many CVs, application essays, and cover letters. Do you think they can’t distinguish lies from truth? Don’t even try to add some fake facts to your essay. Firstly, some data is easy to check. Secondly, your life is exciting enough without any fantasies. Finally, you have a conscience, right? Being honest but delicate is also a good tip for writing an expressing opinion essay .

2. Write about your passion

When you write about something you really like, your essay is filled with positive energy. Thus, it makes a good impression on the readers. If you’re going to apply for the position of interpreter, you don’t have to write about learning languages. For example, you can emphasize that the best about this profession is communicating with people if you really enjoy a social life.

3. Share an interesting story

When you compose a “Who Am I” essay, not just for yourself, ensure it will interest your audience. Your childhood memories can be priceless for you and your parents, but they’re not likely to interest the admissions officers unless you were an extraordinary child. If you don’t know how to write about your life interestingly, it is better to get our help. For example, you can ask us, “ Write my APA paper ,” the writer will present your story to grab the admission committee’s attention. Moreover, the expert will write the paper using the chosen format.

4. Switch on your creativity

“Who Am I” essay samples don’t belong to the academic writing category, so forget the rules! Of course, not all the rules. We still don’t recommend you use jargon or contractions. However, you are not limited to the standard critical essay format or specified sources. Moreover, you don’t even have to quote anybody, as the only person who has a right to express his opinion about you is, actually, YOU!

5. Use make-up

Not real make-up, for sure. You’d use metaphorical make-up. Hide or smooth your weaknesses and highlight your strengths. That’s what professional make-up artists do! Your inner beauty and qualities can also be emphasized!

6. Tell them more

Both hiring managers and the admissions board know everything about your academic achievements or work experience from your CV or resume. You don’t have to share this information again in your essay. Your task is to give them something more and to show them what kind of person you are. A human being is not just a bunch of numbers and facts! Numbers and facts are more suitable for a formal paper. By the way, you can learn how to write a formal essay by checking out our blog.

7. Avoid boasting

Nobody likes upstarts. Sure, you have to demonstrate your positive qualities and achievements to make a good impression. But it doesn’t mean that you should sound arrogant. Readers should understand that your victories aren’t a gift or luck but the result of hard work and self-development.

8. Show your perspective

Admissions officers and hiring managers are interested in your thinking process. A “Who Am I” essay requires no additional sources or quotes. Your thoughts are enough to create a brilliant piece of writing. Don’t try to be someone else! Your personality is worth seeing. However, if you don’t know how to show your personality in writing, get our help by leaving a “ write my paper for cheap ” request.

9. Think about the impression

Being honest and being yourself are very good principles when we talk about how to write “Who Am I” essay. However, you should always keep the balance between frankness and a positive impression. If you choose to write about your mistake or failure, mention how this negative experience has made you a better person. Imperfections make us unique, but in your essay, they should look charming and interesting, not abominable.

10. Demonstrate your potential

Don’t forget to mention your plans for the future. Smart people always think about perspectives and opportunities. If you write a “Who Am I” college essay, explain how you can contribute to the development of the college community. When it comes to a job interview, you can mention how you want to improve the working process or how your skills will help this company to grow.

These 10 tips will guarantee the success of your essay! We know that general recommendations are not enough for you – you can either request write my paper for me help, or continue learning our guide.

So, don’t hesitate! Move on to the list of good and bad topics for your “Who Am I” essay for college or work!

“Who am I” essay ideas to write and to avoid

We should remind you one more time that we’re talking mostly about essays for college or work. When you compose an essay exclusively for self-analysis, it doesn’t matter what topic you pick. But when you need to impress someone, you should be more careful with your choice. Below, you’ll find a list of “Who Am I” Essay Ideas that you should and shouldn’t use for your writing.

5 good topics for a “who am I” essay

• Achievement

That’s classic. If you don’t seek originality and want to choose a time-tested option, this topic is perfect for you. Of course, there is one necessary condition: you need a really meaningful achievement to write about. Baking a cake or getting a high GPA is not enough! It should be something impressive like climbing Mount Everest or saving the planet from an alien invasion. So choose wisely!

• Fixed mistake

If there is one topic even more impressive than a personal achievement, it is a fixed mistake. People love stories about falls and rises because we enjoy dramas. In your “Who Am I” essay sample, you should not only tell about your failure and your solution. The most important here is to underline how this situation has influenced your character, values, and worldview. Explain to your readers how this mistake has made you a better person.

• Dramatic change

Headings like “From Accountant to Famous Artist in One Year” or “A Life-Changing Journey to Africa” always attract our attention. Audiences like miraculous changes. When we read such stories, we start believing that something similar will happen to us and change our lives forever. Look back at your life. Who or what is responsible for the most dramatic twist of your fate? Maybe this story is worth sharing.

• Leadership experience

Both colleges and companies are looking for leaders. No one likes sheep, and everybody wants to see a shepherd as a part of their community. Of course, it is impossible to build a good team exclusively from leaders. However, if you feel like you can bring people together and give them the right directions, write about this quality in your “Who Am I” essay. Provide a real-life example in order not to sound baseless.

• Questioned belief

Doubts are an indispensable part of life, especially for people who learn new things about the world around them every day. For example, you’ve always believed that men are braver than women.

5 bad topics for a “who am I” essay

• Other persons

We know that you love your parents, your teachers, and other great people around you. However, they are not the ones who are going to enter the university or apply for the position of manager. It’s you! So, please, write about you! Of course, you can mention other people, but they should never be the main characters of your “Who Am I” essay.

• School achievements

School is far from real life. If you’re applying for college, you don’t have much choice, because your school years are the only period you’ve already lived through. Yet, if you are around 30 years old, don’t write about your school life in the essay. It was a long time ago! We’re sure that you’ve had much more exciting experiences than history tests or bullying.

Being philosophical is not bad when you have a philosophical conversation. But it’s not good when you have to write about yourself! You’re not a philosophical concept. You’re a real person with real problems, real friends, and real actions. Your aim is not to find the meaning of life in your essay. Your task is to show your personality.

• Sports victory

If you aren’t a professional sportsman, your sports victories are not interesting to anybody. Just face it! You can be proud of the winning goal or your personal record, but your employer or admissions committee doesn’t really care. They want to learn more about your goals, principles, professional experience, and personal qualities.

• Religion and politics

It’s a bit old-fashioned to claim that these topics are not for the dinner table, especially when you have dinner with a group of close friends. It’s totally fine to talk about faith, elections, and religion among your pals. However, it is still unacceptable for the application process. You don’t know the person who is going to read your writing very well. He or she might have an extremely different worldview. So, don’t take the risk of hurting their feelings!

That’s enough instruction for now, guys! There is another efficient way to teach you how to write “Who Am I” essay in addition to writing assistance from our cheap essay writing service . We’ll give you a nice well-written example so you’ll have a good template for your own writing.

“Who Am I” Essay: Introduction

When do people become adults? What is the moment when they cross the line and leave their careless childhood behind? I think that it’s not the easiest question to ask. However, I considered myself to be an adult, even though I’m only 21 years old for a good reason.

“Who Am I” Essay: Main Body

The first time when I thought that I was an adult was when I moved out of my parents’ house and entered the university. I left my small native town behind and became a rightful citizen of the capital. I felt so independent and free but not for long. You see, everybody needs money to live independently. At that time, my only income was my parents’ money. So, it was too early to call myself an adult. But I wanted that so much!

Later, I got my first real job. For a couple of months, I felt really adult because I started to earn my own money. Unfortunately, my first serious job was not well paid. I understood that I had to move out of the dorm as I was not a student anymore. I had no other choice but to ask my parents for financial support to rent an apartment. I was so disappointed as I had lost my right to call myself an adult again.

Since one year ago, my whole world has changed. I’ve got a new job, and I’ve found many interesting and amazing people who inspire me every day. My life is great and full of bright and positive emotions. But it has also become much harder. I think a lot about my career, my private life, my plans, my skills, and other numerous things. I don’t dream about my future as I used to when I was a child. I think about the future, and I really worry about it.

“Who Am I” Essay: Conclusion

Now, I understand that I don’t want to be an adult, because that means to be the only person who is responsible for my life and success. Ironically, I think that exactly this understanding is what makes me an adult.

Who Am I Essay

500 words essay on who am i.

The population of the world now is more than a whopping seven billion. In spite of such a massive population, one important fact remains that each person has their own unique personality and individuality. Let us focus on personality and individuality with this who am I essay.

                                                                                                                                Who am I Essay

My Inspiration

I am a young boy who is still learning in life. Furthermore, I won’t go deep into revealing personal information, like where I come from, which school I went to, my age, and the identity of my parents. The reason for this is that although these factors represent me, they certainly do not define me.

So, what exactly are the qualities that define me or for that matter anyone else? Well, these qualities are character and persona. As such when writing about oneself, one must stick to talking about one’s character and personality.

I consider myself an ambitious person who has big dreams in life. Moreover, doctors have always been my inspiration and I wanted to become one myself.  Also, my father is a doctor himself so I had the opportunity of observing a doctor closely.

I came to realize that doctors have a really busy life. This I can certainly say with conviction as I have seen my father sacrifice his free time in order to save lives at hospitals. Most noteworthy, my ambition is to become a successful doctor in future and save the lives of people.

My Personality and Beliefs

I am an ambivert person by nature. This means I enjoy socialising with people but not too much. I also prefer to spend time alone as I find comfort in my own company.

This nature of mine has proven to be helpful when it comes to studies. This is because I have the patience to study for long hours.  Moreover, for a subject that is too difficult, I and my friends take part in a group study.

Spending time alone, I have the habit of engaging in activities like reading a book or learning to play a musical instrument. Furthermore, I am a religious person who strongly believes in God. My belief in God certainly boosts my self confidence .

I feel sad that in the modern era, many people don’t believe in God. I, on the other hand, certainly do believe in the existence of a superpower that controls the entire universe. Most noteworthy, my belief in an all-powerful creator has helped me become a better person.

The important thing to remember is that a God-fearing person is likely to be good. The reason for this is that such a person would act righteously due to the belief that God is always watching.

The trek sets a perfect context for the “Sustainability and Business” course in term 1. The course primarily focusses on how sustainability can increase profitability in business.

When I was asked “Why IIM Shillong?” during my admission interview, I confidently quoted the mission of the institute – “To generate and disseminate knowledge in all aspects of management education for sustainable development and to develop innovative leaders with strong ethical values.”. However, I could understand its meaning only when I joined the institute. Professionalism and academics are part and parcel of every b-school, but the along with those, the kind of attention given to mission of the institute is sure to bring about a change in the way we perceive our environment.
