Cracking the CAT anad the written tests of some of the best B Schools in the country is a feat in itself. However, that is just one of the most difficult stages that you have crossed in your race to securing a seat in the IIMs. The next two stages are equally important. Having cracked the written test, you should leave no stone unturned to convert the GD PI calls into one or more IIM admissions.

So, if you are keen on securing an admission into the IIMs, it is time you got cracking with your GD - PI preparation.
