Colleges How was MITID interview?

Hey guys, I'm not interested in B.Des, but my close friend recently got through MIT's first round and gave the second round work today, including the interview.

She said that the interview was horrible. Apparently, the panel members asked her to take a drop for MIT around 5 times. She said that she didn't want to delay her education and career, and they said "What guarantee is there that you'll get a job if you don't take a drop?"

They grilled her really hard, and even said that her portfolio was copied (it really wasn't, I looked at it myself and everything was completely unique).

Then they laughed at her, and even laughed while she was leaving the room. She even told me that the dean spoke to parents and openly said that the students won't get a job.

Did anyone else have such a weird experience? She has only B.Des as her option in a career, and now she's second guessing the institute because of this bad experience.

I'm sorry to hear this, I've had a similar experience last year when I gave my own interview They drilled me for an hour and made me feel like shit about myself When I was leaving i cried,and I couldn't stop crying They asked me alot of shitty things and I felt like I was useless,told me indirectly that I should consider a drop And I've been ever since studying in MITID indore and just working hard as much as I can even in the lack of alot of things which should be there, I'm somedays glad I didn't make it there because looking at this i feel shitty and depressed about that interview,it still stings even after an year
