Hi Guys

12:38 PM

If a GD resorts to the fish market (mostly it will be), how to make your point? In other words, if 2-3 people are dominating the gd and not letting anyone else speak, how to make a point? By interrupting and drawing attention by raising intensity of voice is the correct way?

12:40 PM

Hi Vikas

12:41 PM

Never raise the intensity of your voice

12:41 PM

It is not at all advisable. Always continue the gd in a civil manner

12:42 PM

What kind of GDs are conducted during placements?

12:43 PM

If 2-3 people are dominating the GD you can politely say words like - "Okay, you have made your point" or "Adding on to what you were saying" or "I agree with what my friend here is saying but I feel..."

12:43 PM

Use similar polite phases when you want to interrupt someone and want to speak

12:43 PM

Hi Harshit, regarding the placements the topics maybe of different types - like current affairs or abstract

12:44 PM

It can also be a small case where you are given a problem and the group has to come up with a solution

12:44 PM

What happens in mock gd, when moderator asks to start gd, 3-4 people simultaneously want to begin the gd (I am also one of them), in this case, I raise my voice's intensity and that will make everyone else stop. If it's not a civilized way then what's the alternative?

12:45 PM

E.g. a company xyz is looking to acquire a company. You will be given profiles of 5-6 companies. The group has to decide which company should xyz acquire

How to improve performance in gds

12:47 PM

What are the different types of GDs during placements?

12:48 PM

I am from Gujarati background, I can speak fluently and clearly but somehow my voice is affected by regional tone. (Like some tamilians also have regional effect in their voice) Is this okay? Any negative points?

12:49 PM

What is the best thing one can do when one is completely unaware about the topic.

12:52 PM

No further queries, is there anything you want to share from your experience regarding GDs?

01:01 PM

I have a job in hand of Suzuki, should I join IIM Lucknow if given chance or should I take work experience first? Reason to ask is I am a nonIIT GEM fresher with acads 94/85/69. I heard this community suffers a lot at placements at iims and ends up around 8-9lpa

01:08 PM

I will join as a GET, after initial training they will allocate me profile among sales, r&d, production, supply chain management etc. I would prefer SCM. I am from Nirma University.

01:13 PM

I know it's off the topic but it would be great if you can genuinely guide me. I am expecting sure shot of 99.5 percentile this time by checking with cat's answer key.

01:14 PM

I would personally prefer to have some 12-18 months of work ex. But that's my call. Will it help you in placements? No one really knows. Also how sure are you of repeating your performance in CAT while working in Maruti?

01:27 PM

message me here if you want to discuss this further - https://www.facebook.com/vsamaksha

01:29 PM

That's my dilemma. What if I don't get same percentile next year! One last question: in three years or in worst case in 4 years, I will reach at 11.5 lpa with good amount of technical knowledge at Maruti. If you were at my place would you prefer cat or would love to stay at Maruti?

01:30 PM

Thanx Samaksha, I will be in touch with you for sure once CAT results is out. Thanx again for guidance.

01:31 PM

Thanx for the wonderful session.
