Interviews can be scary. It is not. At the end of the day, they're just Indian uncles and aunties: it's like talking to your parents' friends.

ECAs don't mean anything for IIM Indore professors unless you've done something incredibly crazy -- which isn't what you should be focusing in your gap year.
so i should not do any course and just focus on getting the best score possible? i am currently doing an equity derivatives course from nism so should i stop doing that?
BUT bhaiya what if they ask what do you do except from studies, what is there in you except from acads (i've 94/92 ) and we have nothing to speak?
also if they asked that what did you do in your drop yr except from studies then?
these are the questions constantly coming in my mind
if these get cleared i am ready to give my 100%
Based on what we've discussed previously, you genuinely need to stop overthinking.
If they ask that, there's absolutely nothing wrong in saying: "I spent the gap year maximising my IPMAT Indore score as it was 65% of the admission criteria. Additionally, I improved my reading habits due to RC practice -- I learnt about X, Y, Z (could be the topics of Daily RCs) and I wish to explore more. I also helped my parents in A, B, C and instilled healthy habits such as P, Q, R..."
You should give your 100% regardless. You're trying to find reasons to self-reject because your brain wants to run away from this "hard-work" -- perfection is a myth. Conditions will never be ideal.
thank you so much bhaiyaaa
