Comments:
For GDs, have a clear voice and smooth diction; a glib tongue is not required. Rest is all a game of having good content and timing your entry in the GDs, which of course comes with practice.
For PIs, I have no clue exactly what works  . I cleared my worst PIs and was waitlisted at 19 for my best PI (XLRI-BM).
General advice: Be too good to be rejected.

Here's a profile you will not see too often:
Class 10 : 88%
Class 12 : 82.2%
B.Tech : 67%(YMCA Institute of Engg.)
Work Experience : 0 months
Extra Currics : Nothing at all
From here on in things get a bit better
CAT 07 : 99.89%ile
IIFT : 41
SNAP : 104
XAT : 99%ile
NMAT : AIR 41(I Think)
JMET : 68-70
FMS : 99.5%ile
Calls : IIM A,C,L,I,K, MDI, IMI, IIFT, SIBM, IIT B, NMIMS, FMS (MBA-MS)
Converts : MDI, IMI, IIFT(D), SIBM, NMIMS
Waitlist : IIM K, FMS(MS)
CAT 08 : 99.99%ile
Calls : IIM A,B,C,L,I,K
Converts : IIM A,K
ON-OLD : IIM C
With my kind of profile not many gave me a chance of converting an IIM specially given my bad GD Skills. But by some miracle of GOD and a decent interview I have realised my dream of IIMA.
So, people who are not sure of their chances just look at this and believe in yourself cause nothing can beat the human spirit.

5. Institue GD Essay PI Result
IIMA - decent Good selected
IIMC bad - Gr8 selected
IIMI decent good gr8 selected
IIMK decent - gr8 selected
IIML decent good good selected
Didnt attend- NITIE, SJMSOM, XLRI-PMIR
one of my mentor adviced me -'Ganesh always remember in GD-PI you are der to sell your candidature more as a would be student than as a would be manger' just always keep this thing in your mind in interviews...... keep things simple ,you need not to quote Philip Kotler , Adam Smith or Warren Buffet to get through....... also you are not expected to know everything. If you dnt know anything or not sure about somethings except it , it will do more good than any harm......
Do lot of introspection n have a mentor with whom you can share everything.........
and yah always remember if you have decent CAT score n good academic profile , you have already prooved yourself dnt try to overdo anything (dnt screw it up urself)........
'Life is very simple and straight forward. There is nothing , still we make mess of everything'
