Good evening everyone!


The first day of the gdpi process went smooth. Good mix of work ex and freshers turned up for the process.

We being from the admissions cell are NOT authorized to divulge the exact GD topics and PI questions. However the aspirants who went through the process, feel free to share your experience here!

Information which I can share with you all here is that the GD Topics varied from areas related to social issues, politics and technical etc.

Advise the other aspirants to brush up their knowledge of current issues.

All the best!

topic based GD. Before the discussion there will be a written ability test. In this you need to pen down your thoughts related to the topic. Try to be concise and show clarity of thought.
No extempore. GD will be followed by PI and document verification.
wriiten ability test ??? yeh kya hai ??
Can u plz explain properly ??
Just One GD topic. And you have to 1st write something abt it and then discuss amongst the group?? Am i Right ??
Also plz share the marks distribution in final selection..
Thnks.. :)

Yes your understanding is correct.
Weightage for WAT (written ability test) is not known.
Please check the GDPI queries thread for knowing the marks distribution criterion (the very first post)

It is done pre GD. Once you have written your views on a sheet, discussion commences and post that you need to submit the sheet.
@AkshayTyagi2011 How much time is given to pen down our thoughts ? Would we be able to make changes during the GD ? Will we be given time to organize written things after the GD or are they taken right after the GD ? TIA

You may make changes during the GD.
Normally you wont be given any separate time to organize the written things once the GD is over. So write well to avoid changes later on.
You would be given roughly 5 to 7 mins for writing down followed by a discussion of 12 to 15 mins. Instructions will be given before the process so no need to worry about the time limit etc.
