BIMTECH interviews assess communication, subject knowledge, and fit for specialized programs through PI + Extempore rounds.
BIMTECH follows a practical, profile-focused interview approach. Unlike stress-based IIM interviews, BIMTECH panels (typically 2 panelists, 15-20 minutes) are generally conversational. They explore your background, academic strengths, work experience (if any), and importantly - your clarity about which specialization you want (PGDM, Insurance, Retail, or International Business). The Extempore round tests spontaneous thinking and communication.
As a Birla institution offering specialized programs, BIMTECH needs students who know why they're choosing a specific track. The Insurance, Retail, and International Business programs have distinct career paths - they want candidates who've thought through their choice, not just applied everywhere. The extempore tests whether you can think on your feet - a practical skill for managers.
"A candidate was given "Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare" for extempore. After delivering, the panel asked about his engineering background and pivoted to: "You're from IT. Insurance is about risk management. How does your tech background help in insurance?" The successful response connected data analytics skills to actuarial science and insurtech trends."
