Round: Group Discussion
Experience: there were 6 of us. We were asked to introduce ourselves and quote one embarrassing moment from our respective lives. The moderators were two young ladies. The introduction went quite smoothly . Few of us were quoting their childhood moments which for me i guess depicts that you have been a flop show lately on the fun side. My topic for Group Discussion was "Views on Western culture and Indian culture". We were given 30 seconds to prepare before we shoot off and as soon as they directed us to start. Then the GD started and The discussion went on for 12-15 minutes. I held on to my view through out the GD and was pretty much confident.and thankfully i was shortlisted to the final round.
Tips: Be positive and prepare your thoughts well but do not be over-confident.Do not repeat a point, or be lengthy or irrelevant. Also intervene, if someone else is going on an irrelevant track.BE AS NATURAL AS POSSIBLE. Do not try to be someone you are not. Be yourself. In an attempt to be someone else, your opinions will not be portrayed.
