Appeared for CAT/MAT & Other Exams. Now What...! GD-PI basic information

Posted by Arun
Are You planning for CAT/eCATINDIA/MAT/SNAP/NMAT/IBSAT/FMS/IIFT/XAT or else: Best wishes..!

 

Take a long breath and think…! Is it good enough to write an exam for Admission in Top Institute?

Answer is No…!  It’s not good enough, you also need to prepare well for (Group Discussion & personal Interview) GD-PI. Now admissions are based on written exam + GD-PI + Work Experience + Previous Academics + Extra co curricular activities (if any)

Let’s have a look at GD as a part of Admission Process

Group Discussion (GD) is a nothing more than a discussion done in group. So what's so special about Group Discussion? We do discussion in groups all the time, sitting in our college canteen discussing about cool guys / hot girls, discussing about friends, games, music, movies, studies, etc. again the question is same why is this discussion so different?

Why so Different..! Group Discussion VS Discussion in your Group

·         You can’t choose the topic

·         You don’t have an option to stay away

·         You might not know anything (A, B, C…) about the topic

·         You may not interact with known faces

·         Aim of this discussion is not just to discuss, or Pass Time but to score or crack Admission Process

·         Mainly Group Discussion is used as one of the admission criteria.

You planned for an entrance exam (CAT/MAT/SNAP/NMAT/IBSAT/FMS/IIFT/XAT or else), Read hell lot of stuff for the same, Appeared for Entrance exam and Cracked the exam too …..! Now what?

As per normal Admission process you need to apply for desired institute, if your scores (entrance exam) are good enough you would be getting a call for further process Group Discussion and Personal Interview(GD-PI).

Why Group Discussion is used as further process for Admission?

Group Discussion is a technique to assess the candidate’s:

·         Presence of mind (Creative & Analytical)

·         Communication Skills

·         Knowledge (depth and distribution)

·         Be visible and balanced (not too aggressive nor too timid)

·         Capability to listen and make people listen

·         Capability to co-ordinate and lead

·         Contribution to the topic and discussion

Your views and queries are invited, I would encourage interaction with you, so that we can understand each other and help you realize and succeed for your dreams.
