Some of the GD topics which appeared in 2012 at noted B schools are: Is MBA a must to be successful as a manager?  (JBIMS Mumbai), Advertising is legalized lying (IIM Lucknow), Fiscal or monetary policy of India (FMS Delhi), Rising investment in the bullion market is an indicator of a growing economy (NITIE Mumbai), Market-driven growth should focus on rural development, Social networking sites are a waste of time for the youth (XLRI Jamshedpur), Case study on Bhopal Gas Tragedy (IMT Ghaziabad), Universal or targeted food security (IIFT Delhi), Growth of India is greater than that of China (NMIMS Mumbai).

Talking about GD preparation, Mayank Popli, an FMS Delhi student, said, “In the group discussion, try to support your points with examples. In most of the selection processes, the PI and GD panel is the same. So, creating a good impression in GD may help during the PI round.”

Personal Interview

The section on personal interview in the prep module includes the purpose, preparation techniques and commonly-asked questions and their suitable answers. The main purpose of a PI round is to assess your thinking process, future goals and how suitable you are for the MBA program and the B School.
