This might come in use..
not my experiences though.. i got it from some other posts abt TISS..
There were 10 members in my batch (5 girls & 5 boys)
The seating positions were fixed and i was sitting just next to the moderators' table.
They will have a good chance to see your body movements.So, pls avaoid casual & careless body language. Take care of your hand & body movements. Try to look relaxed and composed.
There were 2 moderators sitting (1 lady & 1 gentleman)
They introduced themselves and gave very clear directions like: hve a good GD, nevet try to dominate othrs, it leads to disqualification etc.
Try not to make it a fish market.
We were given 2 topics to discuss. Total time to arrive at the consensus and the discussion itself was 20 min.
Don't forget to carry a white paper along with you.
The topics were
1). Solar Energy, Oil Energy or Nuclear Energy: which one of them viable for world's future demand?
2). Should India and Pakistan have people to peope contacts?
My group has chosen the first topic. Many of them were hurry to go for a stance. I stopped them, defined the meaning of energy, solar, oil & nuclear.I defined the nature of these energies and their uses. I spoke for 2 min flat. The group carried on those points for the next 5-6 min. In between , there was a fish market situation. Moderator intervined and warned us. Since then, I directed the GD in a smoother manner.
I said my points and spoke for 2-3 min. My last point was amazing, i said about the disadvantages by choosing one energy. I summed up the GD and finally i was able to convince everyone that one energy is not goin to be viable for the entitre world's demand.
End of the day, only 26 members from 500 members were shortlisted for PI. (last year, the shortlisting was based on essay test & GD)
There were 3 members from my group includin myself in the 26 members list.
