Time Given : 30 Minutes

Details of the process and your contribution:
There were 2 groups, 10 in each group. 2 minutes was given to note down the points. 7 people including me were in favour & 3 against it. I spoke after 2 people and presented my arguments in a very lucid manner giving all the necessary facts and figures which impressed the panel. I tried to garner support from others by convincing them that my arguments are completely justified. Consequently 2 people changed their opinion and this earned me extra credit.The key to succeed in GD is to be a good listener and deliver at the appropriate time without unnecessarily getting involved in the arguments. One should maintain a good eye contact and try to act as a moderator and give others equal chance to speak. Always try to initiate which shows one's leadership qualities and helps gain extra points.

26 students wrote the online test out of which 12 were selected for GD. 7 students were selected for interview. Clearing online test is important.
