4. Academics related

Please add any particular aspect that I have missed out on...

have many more queries for the seniors but, to start with would like their suggestions on the approach to prepare for the Acads part...

That is exactly how I categorized my approach.

Do add these to the list

5) Personal stuff ..which includes all that you have done and achieved in life..any award you have won..any other special achievement...any special place you visited..your likes dislikes strengths and weaknesses, parents educational and proffessional background....( I had to learn a lot about the Indian Army..and any other thing which you think has played a major role in your life..

6) Extra Currics - Enlighten yourself with every possible aspect of any extra curric activity you are going to mention in the form. For e.g. I wrote a lot about following football. So I put in effort to know about various leagues in the world, status of football in India, current standings of EPL. The profs will ask questions to make sure that you havent written just to make your form look impressive.

7) Have GD / Informal discussions regualrly on current topics.

For Acads, after reading previous GD / PI experiences..I shortlisted some topics ..
Probability, Matrices and Det. , Stats , Integration and Diff. - X11th Level
Engineering - Pick up 2 3 fav subjects and refresh your concepts...You need to know the basics
If you have a good amount of work ex, say 3.5 years and above, you probably wont be grilled on acads.

One more thing, when you are in preparation of your PI do not take the risk of writing any false achievements to make your resume look good. The profs here are extremely smart.
Aaram se pata chal jaayega unko. be genuine, be yourself. I think thats the key.

All the best.
