Group Discussion (GD) Topics & PI Experience by Neha Jakhmola, GEHU

In a recent conversation with Shiksha, Neha Jakhmola talks about her experience of GD & PI process for admission at Graphic Era Hill University, Dehradun. She has talked about the questions asked by the panelists and also has a few tips for aspiring students.

It was all about Demonetization and immediate currency change.  

I watched news channels to gather knowledge. Along with this, I was also regularly reading newspapers and articles to improve my vocabulary and writing skills.

I read the newspaper in order to be updated on current affairs. I also watched YouTube motivational videos to gain knowledge and confidence.

I did not take any coaching classes but I sought help from my friends who have already appeared for GD.

 My overall strategy was to be confident while answering and if there was something I didn’t know, I would clearly convey the same instead of beating around the bush. 

Panelists - 3

Participants - 15

Most of the participants were fresh graduates while a few of them were experienced ones.

All the three panelists were from management background. They weren’t very strict. They were paying attention to all the points which we were discussing. My overall strategy was to be confident while answering and if there was something I didn’t know, I would clearly convey the same instead of beating around the bush.

1. Tell me about yourself

2. Why did you choose MBA?

3. Why are you choosing this college?

4. What are your future goals?

I surfed the internet for help. I watched videos related to various topics and worked hard to improve my communication skills and confidence.

I read books which were referred by my friends who are doing MBA. I also read the newspaper.

It was all okay.

If I get a chance, I would like to fo for GD again as I was a bit nervous since there were experienced candidates also in the GD session.

It was very good and I had a great experience. This was the first time I interacted with so many people at one time. Also, the panel members were good.

It is very important to read the newspaper daily. Watch motivational videos on YouTube, and do keep a regular track of the changes made by the government.

You should use the exact figures and facts in GD. Be confident and do not panic.
