When should I start PI WAT GD preparation?

As soon as the written exam is over — do not wait for your interview call. IIM shortlists start releasing in December. Starting in December gives you 6–8 weeks before the first IIM interview rounds in February.

What is the AWT at IIM Ahmedabad?

AWT (Analytical Writing Task) is IIM Ahmedabad's specific writing component — structured analytical argumentation on a given topic in 15 minutes. Unlike WAT at other IIMs, AWT requires you to take a clear position and defend it analytically. GRADSKOOL covers AWT as a separate dedicated module.

How many mock interviews are included?

The programme includes multiple mock PI sessions — the first mock identifies specific gaps. Subsequent mocks close those gaps. Every mock is followed by detailed written feedback. 1-on-1 sessions with ALP Sir are part of the programme.

Does GRADSKOOL cover non-IIM institutes like XLRI, NMIMS, FMS?

Yes. GRADSKOOL's PI WAT GD programme covers 10+ B-school formats including XLRI (GD + PI + WAT), NMIMS (Competency Test + PI), FMS Delhi (PI), SPJIMR, MDI, SIBM and SCMHRD.

The Process

How a GRADSKOOL Cohort Works

Every week follows the same proven rhythm — so nothing falls through the cracks.

Profile Mapping

Every PI begins with your story. ALP Sir maps your profile and builds a clear, consistent narrative before any mock interview begins.

GK and Subject Prep

GK PDFs for the current interview season plus graduation subject preparation cover 80% of what panels ask. The remaining 20% is handled by the mock PI itself.

Mock Interviews and GD Rounds

Full panel-format mock PIs — first mock identifies gaps, subsequent mocks close them. Live GD simulation in cohort format. WAT and AWT practice with detailed written feedback.

Iterate Until Converted

Detailed written feedback after every mock — specific points to improve, not generic advice. 1-on-1 sessions with ALP Sir for profile-specific guidance.
