Shivani Tiwari of Ad-PR (2010-11), has been into media communications and planning, also into handling media accounts from Airtel to consumer researches. She is a media researcher by day and blogger & observer by night. |
GD-PI is all about smart time management and articulation. It’s like showing the examinees the trailer of a movie that you are. Ensure what you show would pique their curiosity and make them believe that you are worth a shot.
1. Do not stress,
most importantly. You will feel more spontaneous and confident if you stress
less and speak/interact naturally.
2. Read what the last
year was about (important controversies and events) and save yourself from
embarrassment of not knowing the bigwigs
3. Ensure that you
have an opinion on things that matter- Elections, IPL, FIFA, Bollywood (these
might be raw and unadulterated opinions but that’s what’s important too)
4. Pacify yourself
and do not play blame games in the group discussion session or make any
religious/strong political comments
5. Be more
appreciative, respectful and listen patiently to the other participants during
the discussion
6. Don’t beat behind
the bush if you don’t know.
7. Decide well in
advance what you will wear so that you are more comfortable during that day
even if you have to end up waiting for few hours for your turn. Do not
overdress and make it look like a matrimonial match meeting.
8. Be prepared for
your cliché interview questions like “tell me about yourself’, “why you want to
join this college”, “why did u drop a year”, “what are your hobbies”, “who is
your favorite thinker” etc.(this means introspect on your choice and decisions
so that you sound clear as a candidate)
9. If you have a
story, narrate it well. It should not sound like a cooked up tale or a crammed
narrative. (Especially in interviews)
10. Don’t use
adjectives to describe yourself unless you can substantiate your attribute with
a story. (Like saying “I am creative “, but why explain that)
Best of Luck,
Shivani
