Feedback – Case Study based Discussion
Average Duration : 45 mins
IIFT's case study-based discussions were in a semi-structured manner, where around 10-12 candidates were provided a case and then were asked to speak individually on that topic for two minutes. Post that, the room was open for discussions for 15 minutes, and after that, student’s who could not sum up the discussion were asked to do so. (Please note: Not every case followed the same order, but broadly, this structure was followed)
Some case discussion scenarios:
- Impact of Reliance Jio as it is providing high end technology to customers at free of cost
- Can the world economy rely on India for growth?
- Privatization of Healthcare: Boon or Bane
- A case which had details about the four famous captions of the Indian Cricket Team- Kapil Dev, Sourav Ganguly, M.S Dhoni and Virat Kohli. We had to look at the data, indulge in a discussion and decide on who the best Indian cricket team captain was.
- A scenario in which a certain detergent brand named Rose & Rose, was doing well in urban areas but was interested in capturing the rural market since it was growing at a much faster rate than the urban market. We were asked to discuss the strategies and steps that the brand could take.
