Tips: Be thorough with your resume, and also be prepared to quote your grades in subjects like MOS, Structural analysis, etc.

General Tips: To prepare for GD's, it is important to be aware of everyday happenings. Inculcate the habit of reading newspapers regularly.
If you are targeting core companies, a good CPI is important (around 8-8.5 is good but more CPI will be at advantage). For companies like Thornton Thomasetti projects also matter a lot.
When it comes to core companies, you need to be very patient. Companies like Thornton Thomasetti, VMS, DAR group, L&T etc offer low package initially to train you. So be patient, for in later stages you could get to work on the world's tallest building or the longest bridge!
