GD-PI Experience at MDI, Gurgaon (2014-16):
CAT Score: 97.9
Group Discussion
Should Business tycoons support any political party and vice versa (More on the lines of Mukesh ambani supporting Modi government in Gujarat –issue raised by kejrewal)
No one had a clue about what to talk. I quoted examples and figures substantiating my stance. I did extremely well in GD by sharing my views and also backing it with reasons. I read a lot about India’s development and Modi’s initiatives in Gujarat which I covered in the discussion.
Suggestion: Be well read. Have an opinion on every topic and also substantiate it with facts and figures. Maintain eye contact with every speaker and use gestures. Be a good listener and while speaking be assertive.
