Be Confident! Be the Best, Forget The rest!!

Deepika Sati, graduate and third topper in Amity university, student of Ad-PR (2012-2013), Always have been active in co-curricular activities. Campus placement in Red FM.

First and foremost I would to congratulate all of you who have cracked IIMC’s entrance test. Half the battle is already won but now gear up and prepare yourself for the GD-PI.  If you are in IIMC that means you are supposed to be aware of the latest happenings and general knowledge, so work on that. The topic of the Group discussion will be framed around this only.

Instead of giving you the basics of the group discussion I would give you key pointers that one should follow. Firstly, there is no such concept that the one who speaks maximum in the Group discussion is the winner (it is a discussion, not a race) , in fact you may get negative points from hindering other people to speak. Secondly, make valid points; do not deviate from the subject.  Have patience while others speak, you will get your chance.

After group discussion, comes interview. Make sure that you are dressed properly, however in my case I was in casuals, it happened by default but do not take chance. Jaishree Ma’am’s  personality is powerful and straight forward but don’t get nervous. For ADPR , you should be aware about brands, advertising agencies, their famous ad campaigns, the great personalities in the field of advertising etc etc. There is lot to know and time is less but try your best to focus on the mentioned things.

The most important factor to give an interview is to be honest. No matter what the result is, be brave and speak honestly. Don’t make bridges in air. The enthusiasm in your voice and the passion in your eyes will do the rest for you. This is the life time opportunity, don’t miss it and give your best shot.

Be Confident! 
Be the Best, Forget The rest!!
