GD is an interactive selection round which makes it a difficult one for you to out stand the others. You are judged on how and what you speak. It is very important to choose the right words but also express it properly with limited given time. Whereas What is tested on the basis of quality content and writing style. Regular practices in writing good contents can easily help you crack this round. The students must focus on their language skills, good grammar, appropriate vocabulary and correct punctuation for What, GD & PI rounds. Be precise in delivering your speech while making your point in GD round to ensure you portray your vision clearly. Quality of the content matters the most in What round, hence, make sure to pen down good and new words to improve your vocabulary skills. While for your GD & PI rounds support your views with examples but avoid statistics and figures. Rigorous reading is essential to be up to date with the current affairs.

The personal interviews are one of the most important things for getting into top B Schools like IIM. Group discussions are not taken in all IIMs, nowadays What is given more preference over GDs. However there are many common things between What and GD - both need god knowledge of current affairs. So you need to stay updated about the current happenings. So make a habit of reading newspapers daily and try to develop your own opinion about the happenings. Discuss with your friends/classmates about the daily happenings. The interview is the main factor after CAT which will decide if you will get in or not. The panelists want to see if you are genuinely interested in MBA or here just for the money. You should have a great answer for "Why MBA?" and you should know as much as possible about field you are interested in. Be very careful about what you put on your resume. Most of the questions will be surrounding what you have written on your resume. So don't write hobby as reading books unless it actually is coz the panelists will surely ask you about it in detail and you will be caught.

GD/PI is a very important part of the admission process and it is very important to prepare for GD/PI as hard as for CAT exam and other MBA entrance exams. One can simply start with reading newspaper 'The Hindu' (recommended). This will help you with the verbal section as well as for GD/PI. To perform well in GD/PI, students should try to speak on a random topic (can be picked up from internet). One can also join a coaching centre which prepares students for GD/PI. Attend a few mock GD/PIs which are conducted by these coaching institutes. For PI, please do some introspection and write down points and try to justify by giving your real life experience how you overcome difficulties in past. Be truthful during your interview. Thank you. I hope this helps.
