During this, general group dynamics should be taken in consideration. Respect the views and thoughts of other people. Add value to the discussion by thinking critically and bringing new content every now and then. Always be specific and speak to the point.

Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Group Discussion
Experience: Nicely organized GD, civilized and intellectual GD group, discussion rich topic
Tips: Allow others to speak when they have something to say. Do try to push your way in if someone is talking too long or talking gibberish. Do not push your point too much, however, present logical arguments in favor. Try to draw similarities from what others say. Try to include all.

Round: HR Interview
Experience: Friendly HR interviewer. Non-direct questions but not too difficult.
Tips: Answer all questions honestly but be polite. Don't present too strong views, you are too young for that. Don't repeat content with different words, but be elaborate enough to let the interviewer know you.

Round: Guesstimate Interview
Tips: Read up some guesstimates and case studies before placements, discuss some with friends too. Open up your mind while guesstimating. Speak all that comes to your head, and vocally sift through them to get the logical and pursue-able approaches. The interviewer should get a complete idea of your analytical approach.
