2. GD - attended = 350
my topic was "womens r mens - who r better managers" - we discussed & selected it..
my panel consisted of 9 students, our moderator is a lady, she encouraged us a lot
one guy initiated and he talked for a minute
next guy started and talked for 2 mins. his points worthless, HR stopped him. (result : eliminated)
next i started and said that neither men or women, only the qualities with them matters,
then some 3 talked....... later i mentioned that Indira nooye - CEO of Pepsi is a lady & she guides pepsi towards profit........
later those who earlier talked again quoted their points, then i started & i told a story that "A child went to a balloon vendor
and asked that which color goes higher, he replied that the color doesn't matters only air inside matters".......
then moderator called names of those who didn't talked and asked about their views (result : eliminated)
----------------results came after lunch-------------only 3 got selected,& i am the one in that------------
some other topics:
old india vs new india
impact of media on youth
terrorism
love marriages
bpo,s in india
1. don't make hr to call our name, to speak
2. speak within 3-4 to grab attention of moderator
3. don't talk to much total gad time is 5-10 mins.
4. give eg. or small stories or short proverbs only if it is related to topic......

they will provide one satyam form like a complete resume, no need of our resumes, they asked to mention current arrears,one of my college mate mentioned his arrear and his hr told that him that he wont select him bcz of his current arrear -- even he had 1.
