Welcome

Hi, I am Rochelle, the chief mentor at Quoin Academy. Patrick and I started Quoin Academy to help students preparing for MBA entrance exams. We have nutured many young MBA aspirants to realise their dream. Right from helping students crack the exam to groom them for their GDPI process has been a wonderful journey. This website is an endeavour by me to interact with my students and personalise their learning. The GDPI process has changed largely in the past few years. There have been new methods adopted like the WAT, psychometric tests, creativity tests. Further, the students that I meet also are better qualified, better learning experiences and more focussed today. The selection process of GD or PI or WAT focusses on identifying students who are unique yet goal centric with an attitude and interest towards doing an MBA. The panel detest ‘clones’ who have googled answers and have nothing new to talk about. I belief “Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime”. Through this portal, I will reach out to all those preparing for GDPI process, my only vision being to equip you with better communication skills, discover what’s unique about you and depict that your uniqueness in the GD / PI / WAT. My endeavour will be to ensure that you convert the call you have in hand, after all running there is no greater joy than running through the corridors of an MBA college singing “Kai Po Che”.

Testimonials
I am so grateful to Quoin academy because I learned so much in this one year. I remember the first day I went to class and I had no idea how to solve basic math questions and I was very scared to even try to solve on my own. Patrick sir was always very considerate and I felt very comfortable in asking silly doubts because there was no judgement from his side. I give all the credits to Rochelle ma'am for making me feel so confident and she changed my perception about interviews. I was motivated every single day to give my best, and now one year later, I was able to join the college of my choice and perform well in exams and all of this was able to come true because of the guidance from Patrick sir and Rochelle ma'am.
I am a mechanical engineer with 14 months of work experience in ZS associates. I have received admission offer to SP Jain for Operations and Supply Chain Management and I owe this to Quoin. I had enrolled for the mentorship program as well as the GD WAT PI preparation course. Three USPs of Quoin that really helped me were the Unique Methods, Personal Attention and In Depth Knowledge of the admissions process. The unique methods helped specially in Quants, where not following the traditional approach saved a lot of time, maximising the number of attempts. I felt the importance of personal attention during the GD, WAT, PI sessions. I was aided to identify unique points about myself that would help in the interview, and I was given specific feedback about my WATs so that I could write them according to my natural writing style. Also, I was introduced to the art of a appearing for an interview which will help me throughout my life. The third, in depth knowledge of the process, was especially useful for understanding what the different exams and interviewers look for in a candidate. Together these three USPs worked wonders for me and I thank Quoin to help me achieve what I have today!
This journey with Quoin from attempting CAT to getting into a B-school makes me feel equipped to take on endeavours in the future as well

For DILR, an extensive sets of questions were solved. The variety of questions was useful in preparing us for any type of DILR set asked during the tests.
The verbal sessions conducted by ma'am were extremely helpful too. Right from grammar, sentence correction to comprehension everything was covered by her. Different exams require different ways to attempt the same question. During Rochelle Ma'am's session each off those ways were tried and tested.

Many of the GD topics and interview questions were asked in the actual GDPI rounds.
