I read the newspaper in order to be updated on current affairs. I also watched YouTube motivational videos to gain knowledge and confidence.
Q. Did you take any help (coaching centers/materials) to prepare for your GD?
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?
Q. How did you prepare for your PI?
I surfed the internet for help. I watched videos related to various topics and worked hard to improve my communication skills and confidence.
Q. What strategies (books/reference materials/coaching) did you apply for preparation of PI?
I read books which were referred by my friends who are doing MBA. I also read the newspaper.
Q. Did you happen to panic at any given pint of time during the GD & PI? Any particular moment in which you wanted to go back and change or may perform better?
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.
Q. How was your overall GD & PI experience?
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.
Q. What tips do you have for the aspirants appearing for GD & PI?
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.
