Group discussion and essay writing

Group discussions and personal interviews are very powerful as well as frequently used tools. Be it a campus recruitment or be it a admission process to any damn good B school either of two, or may be both of them would me there.

Many students who do well enough at CAT fail to get seat in IIMs or even in few of the top B schools just because of their lack in abilities to express themselves. Just because they can't figure out points in favor or in against the topic stated. Some students make a grave mistake of not making their stand clear and stating their views randomly just for sake of speaking. Actually it is must that you either be in favor or be against.

GDs and and essay writing are undertaken to test you decision making abilities. They want to know how well you can analyze the situation and provide basis for why you took that decision. They are least concerned with what side have you taken...are u against or in favor...that really does not matter at all....  what matters is how well you justify your stand.

We shall see one topic today to get the fair idea about how to tackle the topics. Check out my next post!
