Forming A Group for GD's - 30-10-2005, 01:55 PM

Dear All,
I am Harshil from Mumbai..My idea was that if we could form a group of people to practice for the GD's for CAT 2006, we could then met up at a predecided place... I am ready to co-ordinate this stuff in Mumbai even for CAT 2005 aspirants, though I myself am giving CAT 2006..

Pls give ur valuable comments on this so that we can give it a rock start without any delay..




Regards,
Harshil Suvarnkar.

Hi Harshil,

Am Basic Instinct an Engineer from Mumbai appearing this year for CAT alongwith several other good B-schools (XL, TISS e.t.c.). Have also initiated a thread on PG titled "TISS-2006-08", cos of my profound interest in HR.

Read with interest your post (thread) and my views are as under:

* While the idea per se is not bad, several of my friends who tried to go this route in the last 2 years experienced that it not only fizzles after the initial enthu, but moreso there is no Direction, sense of purpose and above all a COACH to guide/mentor you, which in my assessment is critical if one is serious about cracking the GD/PI process of any B-school. Also every one tires to be as naive and political as one can as most of them would not want to put their best foot forward, on account of the "Competitive arena".

* Importantly my friends and also my elder bro who made it to the IIM`s indicated emphatically that the Writtens are taken quite seriously (which in any case is required), hence a large mass enrolls for one of the known classes. To the contrary, the GD/PI process is taken lightly, with some very very elementary inputs being given by the known coaching classes, which is then followed by the students themselves forming groups and giving it a shot. I see this as a "bottle neck" in an otherwise serious attempt towards placing oneself strongly in the most important event of ones life.

Hence I and a number of my friends appearing this year decided to treat GD/PI with respect and have enrolled with a Professional in this field who is himself a B-school grad with 17 years of Corp. exp. and has been coaching students in GD/PI successfully for the last 10 yrs. His name is Prof. Rajesh Kamat and he is Mumbai based having his classes in Mumbai & Pune. My bro and all the junta whom I know, swear by him and I also understand that he coaches SY students in this process from April of every year, so that they are tension free after CAT writtens.

Apologies for the long post. Trust I have only added value to your query.

All the best for ur prep.

CHEERS.



BASIC INSTINCT.

Do you know of any such classes in Delhi? And i agree with you havig seen my friends try it in college. They started excited and fizzled out just in 2 weeks!
So it's better to have a mentor , but cannt find one here!

Hi Pensive,

Not that I know of any such classes for GD/PI in NCR.

But suggest that u talk to Prof. Kamat. I know from my elder bro that abt. 3 years back Prof. Kamat had groomed students from Delhi, one of who made it to FMS and the other 2 got into IIM`s. Am sure he will work out something.

Am too busy with CAT prep, hence signing off.

Bye.

CHEERS.
