How To Face Group Discussions/personal Interviews At Management Institutes

GROUP DISCUSSION

A group discussion (GD) is a simulated exercise, where you cannot suddenly put up a show, since the evaluators will see through you easily. In this article you can find tips on GD and how to handle them to ensure a positive outcome.

How most group discussions work?

• Normally groups of 8-10 candidates are formed, no leader is chosen .each group is given a specific situation to analyze and discuss within a given time limit.

• The group may be given a case study and asked to come up with a solution for a problem.

• The group may be given a topic and asked to discuss the same. A panel will observe the proceedings and evaluate the members of the group.

PERSONAL INTERVIEW

The focus of a B-school interview can range from specific questions about your job to broad discussions on life. Approach the interview as a conversation to be enjoyed, not as a question-and-answer ordeal. It may be about your hobbies - your recent cross-country trip. This doesn’t mean that the interviewers are not serious. It just means that you’re being sized up as a person and a future professional and all your dimensions are equally important.

Try to be witty, charming, your natural self. Do not try to put on a fake mask. The interviewers will be able to see your masks through. Students, faculty, admissions personnel and alumni conduct interviews.

It is important to have a good idea of “What you consider to be your greatest strength, why and what are some examples that show this”, before you go into an interview. Although the interviewer will most likely ask some pointed questions, you may also encounter something as broad as “So, tell me about yourself.” These open ended questions are usually the ones that help you lead the interview.
