And, if you do answer, it’s obviously a brownie point!
2. WRITTEN TEST:

3. GROUP DISCUSSION:
Not all companies take a GD. However, you will find that many of the companies with high packages take a GD. Generally speaking, there will be a panel of 3 or so experts monitoring you throughout and the duration ranges from 20 – 30 minutes. Marks are awarded on the basis of your content and conduct. Content is the single most important factor in a GD. Conduct, though secondary to content, is also a vital parameter to judge you. Just about anything can be given as a topic for a GD (political, social, abstract) and you will be given around 5 min to prepare your points. More often than not, out of a group of 8, maximum 2-3 candidates are shortlisted.
