WHAT IS IT ?
A case-based discussion is a very unique and popular technique for evaluating every
candidate seeking admission to a top B school. It is extremely useful in assessing an
applicant’s ability to solve a case in a group setting, which is an accurate reflection of
the candidate’s competency.

It evaluates each candidate’s presentation, communication, and problem-solving
abilities. It also aids in clearly recognizing the candidate’s logical ability and demonstrates
how creative and innovative the applicant is.

WHAT’S THE CHALLENGE ?

  1. Because the problem statement must be solved within a specific time frame, a candidate’s
    ability to think on his or her feet is also evaluated. Typically, a business or market scenario is
    provided.
  2. The case presented could be about market entry, industry analysis, or mergers and
    acquisitions. Sometimes the case necessitates developing an appropriate pricing and growth
    strategy. The case could also be about the development and launch of a new product and
    whether or not it will be profitable in the long run.
