hello every1. dunn wid the gdpi on 13th. really a tedious process nearly 4 hrs.

but thanks to them as they provided thew meal coupons

GD topic: shud banning of fashion shows and new year party save our culture.

started the Gd , made valuable pts and also spoke crap. only 10-12 mins for gd. overall a decent GD.

PI
Luck was on my side as there was only one panelist as the other panelist left for reasons known to her.

Panelist asked me round bout 20 questions mostlt related to academics.
Asked me bout FIFO/LIFO, Intangible assets eg, Goodwill, wat to look in a conmpany bfore investing, P/E ratio and wat does it indiacetes working cap and wat ir means to a comp.

was able to asnwer all the question except for one:

asked me to give that entry which is deducted at the end of the yr and added at hte beginning of the year.

thought for it but was not able to answer.

while taking the long journey back home realised the asnwer was opening stock and closing stock.

guys 1 thing i would like to mention it that whenever u r asked bout any ratios dont give the panelist the formula but explain them wat it indicates.

all the best for those not done wid gdpi.
