MBA GDPI

Dear,
Yes, you have to wear formals and that will create a good impact on the interview panel and shows your personality more positive and professional approach.
All the best!

Group of discussion is not about how fluent you can speak or how well you can write but it is all about showing your personality, knowledge and team handling skills. Definitely, having a good communication skill is an advantage. You should focus on studying and analysing current affairs and you may read Economic Times, The Hindu, Manorama Yearbook, Economic and political weekly. Study them, analyse them, read competition success review and do a mock test with your friends and classmates.

Some of the important topics are:
1. Changing pattern in world politics: Rise of Nationalism & its economic effects
2. Brexit
3. Trump Era and its global pitfalls
4. Jobless Growth in India
5. Demonetisation & its fallout
6. Political Debates such as rise of Yogi Adityanath / Modi policies & Impact / Downfall of Congress / Future of AAP
So basically, you need to focus on contemporary political, economic, social and geopolitical issues.

Dear Shivit,
Normally in the GD and PI, they will check your communication, vocabulary, and other awareness levels on contemporary issues. So, have a glance at contemporary issues in the country and in the world. As far as the personal interview is concerned, you have to express about your career and the way you have mapped the same.
All the best.

You don't have a choice whether you want to attend a GD/PI or not. It is compulsory to attend GD/What/VA/PI process to get into any reputed MBA college as that is the way they choose the best candidates for the course. It has got nothing to do with getting a scholarship. Also, although all of the top MBA institutions conduct GD/PIs for admission process, you may also find a few colleges who conduct Skype or telephonic interviews for the same.

For PI rounds of MBA, you have to study about economy of India and world, general knowledge and about Indian Politics and International relations between India and other countries. These topics are enough to crack PI round.

GD-PI will be on March 26 and 27. Topics for GD are generally related to current issues, last year topics were like "technology boom or ban". Well, the process is not that tough. They will be checking your confidence level and level of communication. Also, be dressed properly in formals.

No, GD/ PI rounds will not be conducted before CAP rounds.
