Following are the things one should keep in mind while preparing for GD-PI-WAT for admission to Bschools-
- GK helps in GD-PI-WAT but it is not the essential element in doing well in the process.
- Let us first take a look into what is required for GD
a. Communication has to be clear.
b. ” Points earn Points “.
c. Repetition has to be avoided.
d. Try to acknowledge good points from others and disagree incorrect ones by corroborating with suitable evidence.
e. If you have zero knowledge of the topic- just take your time and come up with innovative ideas regarding the same. - What is takes for PI-
a. Anything can be asked. Be prepared for that.
b. Don’t overemphasize on unimportant things like you play the guitar or play sports etc- they will take you in for a management course / job and not for being a sportsperson.
c. Attributes such as hobbies and extracurricular only give an insight into the type of person you are and that is not necessary.
d. Prepare yourself well. If there was a real concern that goaded you to take action (however silly that might have been )- be clear on that -Honesty is very important.
e. Introspect and reflect before you go for the interview.
f. Just know one thing – small ideas make big things -credit to enterprise and how value-adding it is for the people. If you have that, you are good to go.
g. Go through the basics of your undergrad stream – that always helps. - WAT essentials-
a. Read newspaper editorials for the last 18 months.
b. Prepare on random topics like transportation in India, Medical facility in India etc.
c. Write in error-free language.
d. Write within the word limit but remember if you write an extra 70 words and that drives home a valuable point, you will not be penalised for that rather appreciated.
e. Write fast and finish within time.
Best wishes!
